I'm just sending a note to say these folks at Raise the Roof designs were really nice about helping me get my lost "Scooba Dooba" information replaced. Not that they're in the business of sending out replacement charts for freebies - but I sent them a note about losing the chart, where I bought...

At the beginning of the year I'll be starting a GCC called Ukrainian Openwork. http://www.egausa.org/EduCat2004/EdCatPg39.htm Part of the course description says: This whitework course teaches Ukrainian pulled thread, drawn thread, and needle weaving techniques. I'd appreciate any recommendations...

To add insult to injury, New Orleans had a couple of tornadoes go through last night!!! This is almost unheard of, especially at this season. The forecasters had warned us of thunderstorms, but last night I was more afraid than I was during Katrina, which I rode here, or Rita, which I rode just...

A Geeez whiz moment......caught a segment on HG-TV Tuesday night, believe the program is titled Decorating Cents. Anyway.....the interior designer was using a piece of needlework that was once a lovely Elsa Williams needlework design sold in The Stitchery catalog during the late 70's or early 80's...

I visit my daughter and would like to be able to do needlework when she is out or busy. I would like to do the needlework in my hands rather than a frame of some sort. There is not a good needleworking light in her house, and the best chair for needlework is not near an outlet. She has a three...

The other day I was just coming out of a local used bookstore where I had just purchased some needleworking books and walked past the 'vintage' used clothing store down the street. I happened to notice in the window a box of embroidery threads and just had to ask if it was for display or for sale....

Now that we are once again happily settled into our home (albeit, lots of boxes are still awaiting my attention) I'm SO ready for a good day of S.E.X.! I literally did not pay a bit of attention to the results of the January show, nor have I been near a shop since before the fire. I like samplers...

It's half way through the year, and time to take stock before Xmas throws us all into a dither. How many projects have you completed and what is your favorite project so far, finished or unfinished? So far, all I've finished is a crazy quilt chicken pincushion, and my favorite project is Elian...

OK - I'm a'going to embarrass myself. I have this nasty habit of completing the stitching, even attaching the charms but of not making the piece into a (pillow, scissor fob, what ever). So, my resolution this year to to actually complete projects. So I have a little piece (with a ladybug) and...

After organizing (more or less) my magazines and patterns, I am now moving on to how to store fibers, frills and fabrics. I plan on using ArtBin's plastic storage containers for fibers (saw it on Shay Pendray's show and checked with the company and it is OK for fibers), along with the plastic...

Hi group. Does anyone know where I can find those buttons that have animal sounds? I am not sure if they are considered buttons or boxes. I thought they came in buttons but I may be mistaken. Anyone know where I can find a good selection? Thanks. Mary www.glasscrochet.com
