Well, I finished the stitching on the Ewe and I Tulip I was stitching. I've trimmed a piece of mat board and wrapped it batting. After DD's eye exam, I'll do the finishing and take a few pictures. Also, while I was cleaning out the closet, I found a basket, minus the handle. It's a nice depth but...

Hi group, I'm clearing out my stash and thought I would offer these. I just want a little postage to offset the cost of sending these away :-) Send me a note at calzephyr AT gmail DOT com...all from a smoke free home. Carousel Tiger - From a kit, I could probably figure out the...

Hi Guys, So, I posted in another thread that -- IMNSHO -- the **mechanics** of stitching plain, unadorned XS (no special fibers, no beads, no fancy stuff) doesn't really take a lot of skill. I'm talking the whole "lower left to upper right and then lower right to upper left" part of XS. ...

Hiya! I finished the cute little kitty cat! It was really a lot of fun to do up. It's a quick and easy project. Lots of room for personal creativity. Pictures and info...

There used to be a designer who created charts of movie stars' eyes. Does anyone remember who it was? Are they still in business? TIA. Connie

I confess I am a stash-a-holic, and the wonderful resource of the internet and eBay is fueling my addiction. I have kits, charts, fabric and threads that would take me several lifetimes to get through, but I see a CA Wells kit and I haunt the auctions until the end, in the hope that I will further...

Hello to one and all. I have been lurking for many years and finally decided it was time to join the conversation. I have been stitching for 30 years and am still a novice. My first project was a kit and it only took one to decide doing someone else's designs was not for me. My current project...

My EGA chapter brought Laura Smith, a master craftsman in color design, here for a class. We worked on Lighthouse Moon http://stitch4fun.com/Class-Lighthouse%20Moon.htm designed to teach us about color contrast and values. Intellectually, I got what she was saying. However, using the threads...

We were just informed that the new A.C.Moore store that we've been looking forward to in our area is NOT opening. Apparently they are in some financial difficulty (who isn't) and they're closing another store in south Florida and not opening the St. Lucie West location at this time. That...

Ok, so considering the fact that I'm giving birth in 12 hours (planned C-section), I'm about 9 months late deciding on a birth sampler pattern for my baby girl! I've looked around a little bit, but everything I've found is just so.....nauseatingly cutesy. So, I guess I'm looking for ideas or ways...

I'm now working on MLI's Christmas Visit. http://tiag.com/designs/BR-03.html The top half moves along quickly, but the bottom half is wall-to-wall grey skirt, so I figure I'll need some encouragement. Stitchalong: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MLI-ChristmasVisit/ I also have stitchalongs for...

I am continuing my vow to finish a bunch of old WIPS. Ok - current project is an outline of a flower with stem and leaves. On dark raspberry colored fabric. It was kit bought at Celebrations or in some going out of business sale. All the stitching is one strand of floss over two threads of...

Whoo hoo! The felt needs to be pieced together...for the outer fabric of the purse.

How many of you sign and date your work? If yes, do you use your full name, initials, or ? Do you keep a stitching journal? I'll go first -- I usually don't sign my work, mostly because I haven't hit on a way to attractively and quickly do small letters. For the grandbaby stitcheries, I made...

I've started cutting the purse fabric for the little snail embroidery project. The lining is first, then the felt that needs to be pieced together. Pictures and info are...

Hi, I received several emails about the crayon washing off fabric (namely acrylic felt) after the tinting process. I decided to experiment with it and document it along the way for a tutorial. If you go to : http://curiosities808.wordpress.com/tutorials/ You will be on my "new" Tutorial page that...
