Hey, I know by now everyone has heard about my house fire. I'm looking for a stitching journal. I previously had 2 - 1 was completely full. I've contacted Nordic Needle and Mary Jane's and was told it's been discontinued. Does anyone have one they would be willing to sell to me or any shop...

After a spending a good chuck of April out of town it sure feels good to be home! The weather is starting to feel like Summer. ok, a few days! At other times we are reminded that it is still Spring in Minnesota and it does stay chilly at times, even past Memorial Day, which isn't even here yet!...

I have heard conflicting opinions on this. I received an embroidery kit as a gift. Do I wash the embroidery fabric before stitching? Also, is it necessary to iron out folds in the fabric before stitching?

Yesterday, I went to my LNS (where they know me by sight, name and dd's favorite animal - the flamingo!) and they asked me to do some model stitching! I am so excited (and a bit nervous too)! I am going to do the Lizzie Kate June Flip-It and another one which I don't recall the name of right now...

I'm researching Or Nué and was told to look at the British Magazine "Needlework" issue for August 1995 for a great article. I can't seem to find anywhere to order a back issue and am assuming it's out of print. I've searched several places including ebay but am coming up empty. Can anyone give me...

Ok, I disagree with some opinions, agree with others, but overall I TOTALLY disagree with these groups becoming places for discussing this sort of stuff. Politics should stay in political newsgroups - I resent using my download allowance to read this crap. Cant we please stay somewhere in the...

IIRC, someone a while back was asking about using tea to dye linen with. I found a good set of instructions for it in a Stitcher's World magazine (TAM). Whoever was asking before, if you're still looking I could copy these for you. -- Suze Cat hair? That's just an embellishment.

Hi, I've started stitching on the Firehouse Angel and I have a questions. How many strands of the PT gold should I use? I ask because I started stitching with two strands and thought it looked too "bulky", especially where the cloak folds on itself and you're stitching the gold between rows of...

Can anyone tell me where to find Sharon S. Pope's designs? She has a beautiful American kestrel design in a Stitcher's World back issue (thanks again, Mark! grin), but I can't seem to find much about her online. It also doesn't say much in the magazine, not even what company she designs...
