In response to "what is this?" by
Gillian Murray
I accidentally hit the wrong key, and sent it directlyto koalamum. So I
thought I would resend via the group.
Marlitt is a rayon thread made by Anchor ( in Germany). I have no idea if it
is still made, but I came across a clearance in a Walmart ( Canada) that I
couldn't resist. I have several...

Thanks Cheryl! by
Cristilyn Schoenborn
The floss you sent has arrived. I especially love the blue color, it's so
cheerful! I've been going through a rough patch lately, and the floss in
the mail brightened my day. I will certainly pay forward the act of
kindness when I get a chance.

Hi,
I'm looking for finished models of either FanXstitch or PhoeniX
Stitchery designs that may have been done over the years either for
yourself or as models for PhoeniX Stitchery (I sent out a lot of model
packages but never got anything back) or for Nathalie Designs in the
UK. If anyone has...

Angela livesay
Oh my!!! I had to wait to finish a baby afghan with Tigger on it. Baby
Leah, my new nice, arrived on 07-19-2003 ( 1 month early). Now, all I have
to do is put the backing on it (keep little fingers out of threads).

Peri Lusta FILO- any one know what this is! by
Linn Skinner
Cheryl:
This was a UK product (manufactured who knows where) and actually I found it
still on sale at Dainty (a UK wholesaler) a few years ago. More or less a
pack of assorted skeins on the low end of the price range. I too have some
bits of it from old work baskets.

Stitching in Rotation by
Addie
There's been a lot of talk recently about people stitching in rotation.
What does that really mean?? If, as I assume, it means stitching one
project one day and then another the next or something like that, then how
long does it take to complete something??? Are there any tips out there to
make...

Thread carries on model by
Brenda Lewis
I received the October "Just Cross Stitch" this weekend. Page 51 shows
a model which has three lines of writing, a house, and two more lines of
writing. The thread used for the saying is very obviously carried not
just from word to word, but from line to line. It is also carried from
the vine...

My Grandmother's Work by
KDLark
Today we stopped by my mother's and the subject of my grandmother's crochet
came up again. I had either decided on my own or had been led to believe that
most of it had been lost or tossed out my my mother, so I was surprised when
Mom was the one who brought it up. She said that she had a couple...

I have a customer who is searching for a large, detailed Halloween pattern.
She likes less of the cutesy type, more realistic. Here is an example of one
she likes, but we are trying to find something bigger if possible :)

Hi, I am a longtime lurker/infrequent poster here on RCTN and I have a question
for any needlepointers who may be here.
I have a painted canvas in the pattern of a patchwork quilt that I have just
started. It is made up of nine blocks; the blocks themselves are made up of

What to do with first efforts? by

Mmeindia wrote:
What do you all do with your first efforts in a particular craft or style? I
suppose I could give them as gifts (some of my first needlepoints are hanging
in my relatives' houses and they are treasured, though I'm way beyond them in

For Canadinas only. Gun control again. by
Allison and Chip Orange
Jim,
Have been meaning to write to you for some time about this. Although you
should do everything in your power to do something about this, Canadians
should see their glass as at least half full. You are so much farther along
than the United States as far as this is concerned.

A couple of weeks ago, I posted asking if anyone could tell me about the book
“Embroidery Illusions” by Gary Clarke, which I had come across on Amazon,
after being tempted by the talk here to order “Painting with a Needle.”
There was just a cover picture, no description of the...
