Hi there, I have an incomplete Semco Embroidery from the early 1970's titled 'Australiana' Designs no.2 - Map. It is a map of Australia including emblems, animals, landmarks etc. I would love to complete this project as I have enough original thread and the colour chart but I am missing the...

While I'd love to try another new type of stitching, until life settles down again (or I hit my stride again), I can concentrate on cross stitching and a book, but learning something new will have to wait a bit. SO - I want ideas. I'd like to use a free chart from somewhere we can all access it....

Hey y'all from soggy northwest Florida, I'm looking for a site, a page, an anything that can get me in contact with Georgia O'Keefe paintings adapted for cross stitch. Any ideas? If so, please respond to my email. Thank you so much. Time to don my water wings. Lauren

There are three sets of numbers which I require to be reported. These are the number of stitches per inch you used and the number of threads in the needle; plus the amount of floss of each colour you used to do the cross stitching. I suggest you do all the cross stitching first, and measure how...

O.k.,I've just found a site for my latest ta-da moment (the moment I discovered 3D stitching). It's at http://www.sewinspiring.co.uk/acatalog/cross_stitch_kits_3_D_three_dimensional_cross_stitch_kits.html Too late for this year, but I can picture me stitching an entire 'Christmas Village' by...

I've finally started the nativity on navy Aida. The fabric is cut and I am now griding the center panel. I am wondering if I should make any color changes because I'm using dark fabric? Any advise on this project would be appreciated. John

Is it possible to substitute worsted knitting wool to finish the edges of a needlpoint which was made using 4 ply tapestry yarn? Thanks for replies. Karen

Okay. We need needlework posts to make the stupid one disappear. I'm game. What's your current project? Name one. I mean one. I know I've been guilty in the past of answering this question with multiples. But there should be one project that's on top of your stitching pile. What is it and why is...

Our youngest active member is 17 (started coming with her grandmother when she was 12) and our oldest active member is 90. :-)) I, also, was a little worried that it would be a group of "experts" who would be very concerned about technique and how things "should" be done. We are exactly...
