Hi, I'm looking for a Linda Gengarelly needlepoint design that appeared in McCall's Needlework and Crafts April 1985. I do not need the magazine, I have that. I would like to find the charted design that was available for order through the magazine. The design features a birds nest and apple...

Help! I lost my thread heaven! Does anyone know of a source in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area that carries it besides Stitchville way out in Minnetonka(I'm on the St. Paul side)? I'd rather not have to drive 45 minutes just to replace it, and I'm not too keen on paying more for shipping than...

Hey All; I'm trying to find someone who may be able to sew days of the week on nylon panties. I seen them but can't find out anyone who can do it. And no, I don't sew. Thanks TB

I would like to frame a piece I did on silk gauze but I have no experience in doing this. Any help, suggestions or sites with information on the web would be appreciated. Mavia

I recently purchased a new book (to me) on the subject of Chinese embroidery......the bookcover has a large color photo of an exquistely embroidered vase of Lotus, leaves and blossoms in a blue and white porcelain jar. The book is a paperback and not overly expensive for the amount of info covered...

I've not been looking at this group for very long, so I'm sorry that I haven't yet got a grip on who's who. But I just want to thank whoever it was mentioned the design "Flower Power". Having just completed the Serendipity Carolyn Meacham design "Harmony", I was scratching around looking for the...

Can anyone recommend a good table stand? I've seen ones that sit on the table and one that clamps to the table. Is one style better than another? Thanks kindly. Cheers, -- Laury Walkey (Miss) BC, Canada

The latest issue of Classic Stitches, issue 58, has a fascinating interview with Linn Skinner. All you ever wanted to know... and we even managed to get a photograph! There is some photography of some of her amazing work, too. Anyone interested in ordering a copy can find out more by emailing...

I wonder who this nitwit is who is flooding the group with her/his stupid message. Needless to say I have deleted them all, mainly unread, and sure as hell won't be checking into her/his site. Some people really do bug me! Gillian. in full GOW mode

Can anyone help one of our readers with information on how to do Blanket Stitch Star from Embroider Now by Hetsie van Wyk? Would I recognise it under another name? Liz http://www.classicstitches.com The magazine for stitchers worldwide

Since I am reading Unraveled Sleeve, I have an allergy question. I am allergic to nickel and most common needles are nickel plated. I have been using 'my favorite needle' for the past 10 or so years-mostly because I like the tiny needle for the way I hold the needle for stitching. It comes in...

when you mail will you use the us postal service or ups. ups had a better tracking system a few years ago? insurance?

I just posted about a chart I am interested in that I offered to pay for -- even if it is a bit worn, etc. This made me think about how we keep track of where we are in our stitching. I have tried the metal plate with the magnets and that hasn't worked for MOI. I have also tried those static...

Has anyone else done something as dopey as what I just did? I decided to make the SAL into a Biscornu, or a pincushion for the older folk like me. If I must say so myself, it came out rather nice. The stupid part was when I went to sew the button into the center to give it shape, I found it...

Orvus is ok? Cheryl

Last night I finished mounting "Under the Sea" by BrightNeedle designs for a birth/baptism sampler. You can see it at the rctnp website (Yahoo group for r.c.t.n. photos) in "Sue's photos" folder. I'm not usually one for charms, but this design had me pulling out all sorts of charms and beads in the...

Is anyone else dismayed by the lack of needlework related posts? I know there is a certain ebb and flow to newsgroups, but when is the tide going to come back in, so to speak?
