I finished "Live Simply" ( a Dimensions kit) http://www.michaels.com/art/online/displayProductPage?productNum=nw0368 Yesterday. All I have to do is wash and press it and I take a quick picture. I think I have the fabric to do the "no sew cube" and have some daisy trim to add. I may yet add a...

Does anyone else have a problem with the John James petits breaking often? A friend has gone through several packages like they are water. One needle won't last long enough to stitch one 5X7 kit because the eye breaks off. Meanwhile, my Susan Bates needles last through several projects. I even...
