lot lately..Stitching has been in mind but never gotten into
action....I know I should...have not done a single stitch
for ages. But anyway....I am alive and well. I am not sure
if you know about that Latvian canvas I brought home...

Evertite bars by

EVERTITE BARS: PRODUCT REVIEW
Needlepoint canvas sags as you work it, it always has and it always
will. People who work on frames know the struggles we always had
with saggy, baggy canvases. If you use scroll frames, you tighten
over and over again. If you use stretcher bars, you had to take...

Sandy Orton's Exquisite Lily Sampler by
Pat Porter
I have done her Garden of Friendship, and loved doing it. It still needs
framing as John isn`t too enthusiastic - he thinks it`s a bit "Wishy-washy"!
I think it`s absolutely beautiful, and just the thing for the pale green
walls in our bedroom!
I`m not QUITE sure about the lily sampler. I love...

Missing chart by
Nancy Poehlmann
Dear RCTN folks,
I unearthed a UFO that I'd dearly like to finish, but I cannot unearth
the chart. Any help would be very much appreciated. Dating from
probably the early 80's, the chart is very art nouveau, with a
auburn-haired girl in a yellow dress holding a daffodil. The border
is green...

Mirabilia's Cinderella ? by
Caryn
There is a bit of a mystery to me in this design.
There are 3 different symbols for the same floss color.
Does anybody know why this is the case?
Also, when Nora calls for #4 braid, do you know if I should use 1 strand or
two? I use two in my own designs, but it's unclear to me what Nora...
