Kay Montclare, who sold charts of antique samplers from museums, died a few years ago. Reports on the web indicate that her grandson sold all her books to a used bookseller who sold them; thus there is nothing left. I have several of her charts, but was intending to buy more. Since they are now...

My mother is looking for what she calls a "Holly Hobby" quilt pattern. It's a Simplicity pattern, but it has a little girl and boy sitting back to back on a Rocking Horse. The pattern was made in 1974 and she made it for me when she was pregnant with me. Now, 28 years later she wants to make 2 for...

Hi, I'm looking for finished models of either FanXstitch or PhoeniX Stitchery designs that may have been done over the years either for yourself or as models for PhoeniX Stitchery (I sent out a lot of model packages but never got anything back) or for Nathalie Designs in the UK. If anyone has...

....I introduced myself. Like others here I have lurked quite a bit but only posted a few times when I felt I could give a good answer or had a good question. I started stitching years ago when I was a kid and I still have the pot holder I made then. Looking at it now, I see that I hand quilted...

wal has a new line of packs and travel bags that are made of a "ballistic" nylon but ballistic nylon is expensive and wal's new bags are not. Is the chinese "ballistic" nylon ballistic in quality and form or is it anoter fabric entirely that appears as ballistic?

Donna Giampa has done it again! She's posted an adorable freebie in her "Fantasy Bears" series: www.vsccs.com This one is calling me. I can see it on 36/40 count fabric, made into a bookmark for DD in college....for those late nights studying! Sue

My cousin and his wife are expecting their first baby in November. My mother asked me today if I was going to stitch something for the baby (this cousin is her godson). I told her I was going to crochet a baby afghan, like I did for my cousin's older sister's twin sons 8 years ago. My mother...

I was searching through a closet today and found a floss storage system kit I bought years ago at one of the cross stitch festivals. It is called File-A-Floss and is by DJV Designs. The website on their literature www.djvdesigns.com doesn't work. I am wondering if anyone here knows of this company...

Question for the group that knows it all, I have a pattern that calls for a very small amount of #12 Perle Cotton. I really don't want to buy a full ball of this particular color and wondered how many strands of 6 strand DMC floss, or whatever, I could substitute. Lucille

Has anyone ordered patterns from Golden Kite before? They do a lot of classic art reproductions that are downloadable in PDF. There's a pattern I absolutely MUST have, but their price is $43. I don't want to outlay that much cash if their quality isn't that good. I haven't seen this...

Hello: If Sue Dawson is still on this list, I would love for her to post an answer to a question I have about the types of threads used in linens during the "arts & Crafts Era" (early 1900s). I did a search of the archives and found posts from several years ago in which she said that she was...
