How is this referred to??? The Oprahization of America? If that woman tells me one more time how to be "more perfect" I may totally lose my mind! I don't even watch her show, I watch the show on before it, and see all the ads. Why she thinks she has the right to dictate what perfect people...

Hi the I'd like to know from the experts, what's the limit on stitches per inch that you can do comfortably. I know that 14 count seems to be the most popular, but do people actually do 16, 18, 20, etc.? Also, how wide are the fabrics that we use as background? i.e. how large of a piece can...

I just got the Barons catalog and there are a lot of Hummels in there at very reduced prices. I am not a Hummel collector, but the sale prices looked mighty good to me, for example, "All Aboard" collectors had a conductor figure and "Homeward Bound" landscape for $99.98 and originally was $225. ...

Hi Group: I am looking to find out the easiest way to determine how much thread a project takes to make. I can't really tell by looking at my skein of yarn because sometimes its not always a new skein I've used off of. Oh and a special note to Caryn in your response to my post about animal...

Hi! I think I found my next big personal project while waiting for some model stitching. I would like to start stitching a project from Stitcher's World (Sept '03 issue) called Victorian Garden on page 20. However I would like to do the piece as a whole rather than in panels. The directions list a...

I put the last stitches into Just Nan's "Silkwood Manor" during my vacation last week. It is really beautiful. I can't wait until she publishes her next sampler in the series. I'm now going to start Moira Blackburn's "Three Things" sampler. I've been wanting to do this for some time and have...

This morning, like a good little girl, I got out a UFO to work on (Heartland House's Saguaro Flowers and Cactus Forms), put on Q-Snaps and finished off the length of floss in the called for satin stitch. Ok - I still hate doing it and still don't like the effect, but, I want to finish it and maybe...

At the time the AFARR was being organized, there were lots of people anxious to have a letter allocated to them. There were also lots of people who were disappointed at not getting a letter. I did not join in, as I am not that keen on round robins. Now it appears that the AFARR has completely...

What do you recommend for stretcher bars for a 24X24 inch canvas -- mono 14? Can I use a scroll frame -- will it hurt the canvas to be rolled up like that? Thanks. Barbara

When I made pillows for dining room chairs 20 years ago I used 3-ply wool, persian yarn and the pillows are still being used. I would think the Paternayan Company wool, or an equivalent wool, is still available. Lucille "bheider" wrote in...
