Greetings from Ontario, Canada. Long ago (and not so far away) I came across the fantastic Skyhook string stand. I still use one from time to time. I don't have time to scroll through all of the messages looking for an active link to the instructions, and was wondering if anyone knows where one...

Just a little Happy Dance. I finished up the "Harvest of Berries" Sampler by Betsy Stinner, Earth Threads that I started in October. Happy to finish it, only had to frog one blackwork section - 2 times. Once - I was thinking about it because I realized that I was off by 2 threads on the right -...

Tomorrow I go visit the eye doctor, and thanks to some very helpful suggestions from people here, will ask for special monovision glasses for stitching. I will take in some of my stitching and see what they can do. The idea of actually being able to see about 2 feet is almost kinky; maybe I could...

What did you work on last night? I put about two hours into the latest freebie from blue ribbon designs. I'm doing it over one on 32 count linen as a Christmas ornie, and it's working up beautifully. I love the "neatness" of it...crisp designs and exactitude. http://www.blueribbondesigns.com/

Has anyone here heard of a cotton floss called Star Six Strand by the American Thread Co.? I was just going through my needelwork stuff and found an old plastic zip bag with 20 skeins of this in it. I'd even forgotten I had it; I think I got it from a relative or friend a long time ago. Suze

About two months ago I adopted three Sunset Designs Jiffy Stitchery crewel kits from the local Sally Ann. They look to be part of a series of oriental-influenced songbirds and flowers, published in 1980. One was partially finished -- _Hummingbird and Azaleas_ (#488CH) but the remaining wool and...

Hi all. I have a question I need some guidance on. I was at the mall today and the calendar store was having its usual after-New-Year's 50% off everything (read we want to get rid of everything so we can close up shop till next Christmas season) sale, and saw a new thing, the Cross-Stitch...

Does anyone have a copy of the September 1999 issue of Stitcher's World? I am trying to find a pattenr of a counted stitch snowman that I was told might be in this issue. It looks like it was worked on canvas - the colors are mostly shades of green/orange/red. Supposedly this issue...

Just had an eye exam today (first in about four years, give or take). Good news is that my current glasses (new ones due in 7-10 working days) are now too strong, meaning I'm less near-sighted than I was last time I got glasses. Bad news is I've added a new problem, namely some astigmatism in one...

I posted over at the sewing group with no answer, so I was hoping you could help me. I am in the midst of my first pair of insulated drapes (1 panel done). They are just a plain panel, no ties, about 115"x62", made of a velvety-suede material, the innerlining and the lining, and are quite heavy. I...

My hand accidently slipped whilst I was doing some needlework, and the needle speared my penis. What can I do to resolve the aforementioned situation?

It's Magic Mood Jeeps birthday - best wishes to you, treat yourself to something nice :)

Does anyone know if Catherine Strickler of Indigo Rose is still designing or in business? I've tried to contact her through an old e-mail address and phone number but the e-mail came back 'undeliverable' and the phone number is out of service. I did one of her scissor fobs some years ago, and...

OK, I started the Global challenge today; the first time on day 1. We should be around most of the winter, so may the games play on. Joining us Cheryl, Trish et al?? Gillian

Many years ago, I was an avid reader of this group. I was involved with a Round Robin that was formed within this group and it was a wonderful experience. I had to let go of this group when I went back to get my master's degree. I finished my degree in 2000, but then my husband has contratracted...

The Stafford Loan program is administered in two different ways. The institution can elect to be a "Direct Lending" school in which case the loan funds are sent by the government directly (electronically) to the school. Banks, per se, are not involved. Other schools follow the older method where...

Let's get back to needlework. I've got Amy Mitten's Tudor Rose Mystery sampler on the frame. http://www.traditionalstitches.com/tudorrose.jpg http://www.emlis.com/amymitten.htm Wonderful silks (Fibres to Dye For)are used with a little bit of metallic and some pailettes. This is going to take...
