Over on Donna's blog, she has been talking about an article in the most recent EGA magazine. Near the end, she said this: "Lastly, a question. How old when you when you started stitching? I think a majority of us tell of some experience in our youth that made us familiar with it when we were...

Drum roll please What are you stitching? I'm stuck on letter I for the baby dragon alphabet. So, I'm making great progress toward finishing Cheryl's Bouquet. I've told myself when I finish with the "bottom right" page, it's back to the alphabet.

Because I am itching to stitch even more than usual. And of course I'm busy the next few days and will have little to no time to do it. . . linda

Remember how I just said I'd come to peace with not rushing my "And a Forest Grew" and decided to forgo this year's state fair and wait until next year? I was doing a normal Happy Dance because I finished it on Friday night and left it at the LNS on Saturday night. Well, imagine my surprise...

I had to learn the hard way. I had a piece of finished needlepoint at my desk, doing some frame measuring, and, long story, I got some ink from a gel pen on it. On the white part of course. So, now gotta tear it out, try to get the ink off the canvas with mild diluted shampoo, restitch or...

I am trying to find out which red floss would be closest to the color known as Pantone 186C. Does anyone know of a conversion chart for this? TIA Katherine in Omaha

As promised, here's my analysis: I ordered the #8 sewing needle and the #26 Tapestry needle The #8 sewing needle is a larger sewing needle than I like to use (I prefer #10's), but still works ok for general sewing and some of the larger (14 or 16 count) monocanvas pieces. I also tried it on...
