I've looked at a few cross stitching magazines in Barnes and Noble before but the only one I've bought it "Cross Stitcher" from England. It is $9.99 an issue but I really love the free stuff they give you with every issue and I love the free patterns inside. I would love to hear what magazines...

Hey all I just wanted to let you know that my cyberstitcher's gallery has finally gone public! http://www.cyberstitchers.com/Galleries/ShannonsGallery If you don't have a gallery here you should get one because they are SO awesome! -Shannon

Hi everyone, My name is Shannon and I am 21 years old. I have known how to cross stitch for about 2 years now but I only started to get into it more seriously over the past year or so. My other hobbies are watching movies (from the old black and white classics up to modern day) also listening to...

Several years ago there was a topic "Projects from Hell" or some such. I read all the wonderful replies and gave my own little adventure trying to stitch TW's Fantasy Sampler. Basically I threw it in the corner, I think it's still there, and started knitting. I really got into it. I...

Hi everyone! I'm doing a fairly major project as part of an even bigger project at a local church in Oxford. The plan is to depict each book of the Bible in an A5-sized piece of felt. I've taken on the four Gospels (I'm a Hindu!!!) and I've already finished one. I chose the texts about bread and...

Hello everyone! I've been off the air for about six months now, moving from the US back to the UK, making endless Christmas cards, planning a wedding and then getting married, making "Thank you" cards, and so on and so forth. Now, I'm back in the land of the stitching... I found a Hardanger...

Hello everyone! I've decided to make myself a traditional trousseau, but with this difference: that I shall make it now that I'm married. I want to make hand-embroidered and hand-finished table linen, sheets and so on. I've started quite modestly, by embroidering a couple of place mats - pink...

Hello everyone! The other day, while browsing desultorily, I found some plastic canvas patterns for the 12 Days of Christmas. Is it possible to use these charts for cross-stitching on Aida? Or are there any problems? Thanks. Shanti.

Hello everyone! Is there a set of thread packs that would cover all the DMC pearl cotton range? I want to buy myself a set here before I go back home, and the local Michaels only has individual threads hanging. Shanti.

Hello everyone! I'm planning to make a cross-stitch / fabric / felt advent calendar. I want to make little pouches of felt on a fabric background and put little cross-stitched ornaments (star, stocking, santa, tree, etc) into the pockets. What would be the best way of attaching the ornaments...

Is anyone interested in some old xstitch magazines? I have 'Classic Cross-Stitch', 'Country Stitch', 'Cross Stitch & Country Crafts' and others. Please email me.

Looking for a spiderman cross stitch...can anyone help?

Would anyone have a pattern from Barbara Baatz of the Oriental Angel - I don't know if that's the proper name or not - it was a series. My friend has South American Angel and would dearly love the other pattern, but apparently it is out of print. It's from American School of Needlework. I would...

No one has mentioned that Firehouse Angel project for a long long time - is it a subject not to be discussed anymore? I wasn't a participant and wasn't really in favour of the idea but I followed the progress anyway - there was an awful lot of work put into that to just have it disappear...

Hope we're all in this lady's shape at her age!!! Just amazing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKRZv6NGjdc Sharon (N.B.)

I used to have some redwork embroidery patterns, but cannot find them now. Does anyone have some to share? Or know where I can get them? I would be grateful. Also, stamped embroiderery patterns of sports balls, all kinds. I am new to your group and would appreciate the return replies; Thank you,...

I was moseying thru some sites one day and came across some designs that I really liked and know my friend, who is very hard to buy for at Christmas, would adore them. However, I forgot to make note of the designer, etc. They were patterns of ladies - elongated I guess you'd say - with big...

Guess who has a birthday tomorrow??? The old GOW herself. And you know what??? We're going to have a snowstorm to celebrate!!!!! Happy Birthday Sheena, ya old bat. Sharon (N.B.)

Isn't this Pat Porter's birthday? Probably 39 again. If I haven't made a mistake, have a good one Pat. Sharon (N.B.)

Can anyone recommend a magazine for teens - something that will encourage her to look after herself, discuss normal family problems, how to co-ordinate clothes, how to deal with people who are not so nice, etc. Granddaughter will be 13 this month and I'd really like her to have something to read...
