Hello ladies (and gents!) Many many many moons ago, my mother bought me a wonderful counted cross leaflet. A few years ago I lost it in a fire in my apartment building, along with 20 years or so of carefully hoarded...er, gathered...supplies and patterns. Unfortunately, I have not been able to...

Hi all, It looks like some of us locals are finally converged on a date to have an outing to Woodlawn. Donna, Ericka, maybe Sue W (depending on her jury duty) and I will be going to the Needlework Exhibition on Tuesday, 3/20. Joiners welcome - of course. There are directions to Woodlawn on...

Hi All, Back home from my stay at the cabin in Lizard Land. Did some sewing and some stitching and a wee bit of knitting. Made another silk kimono jacket for my DNiece in TX and have been working on a NP project to help Janet (my stitchin' buddy). Nothing earth shattering happened while I...

I've had some health issues, so frequent a few other forums now and again. What I am noticing is how awful so many of the posts are. It is really scarey. So many misspelled words. Lack of punctuation. No paragraphs, making it hard to keep track of different thoughts . . . forcing you to reread...

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...

OK, I'm just about done. Who's next and what's the addy?

I'm in the process of making up my Christmas list, and couldn't think of any new books out this year I don't already have on order. Mind you, I don't know why I bother because no one ever gets me what I want anyway. Going through the online listing is downright depressing, since so many needlework...

Anyone own these and can review if they indeed stay tamborine tight as they say?

Apparently Grey's Anatomy called needlepointers "dried up" ladies. Emailing ABC gets only a generic reply. They are rarely read and only adds to the idea that the show is getting good response. Below is a web site with the names of the CEO's and all the other executives. Under that...

I will be mailing a package to the UK in the future. I've been researching and will probably be able to send it in a Global Priority Mail Envelope. My question is on the customs declaration. I don't want the recipient to have to pay duty if it can be helped. It is a gift, but I'm assuming I...

Since I was whining about no one posting, I suppose I could at least get something started! lol As I posted before, I started on Keslyn Designs' "My day complete" and was having trouble with it. I'm happy to report that it's been going much better as of late, until I ran out of floss. That's...

My only brother died yesterday. He was 55. I will be leaving in the next few days to go to where he lived. Please remember me in your prayers. This may mean that Geobear arrives when I am away, which will mean a delay. I may just send him on directly to the next person, without doing photos,...

Hi all, A coworker's friend died recently and he had a number of projects in progress. My coworker told the family he'd finish them. One of the projects was a surface embroidery baby quilt, I think from Bucilla. In the chart there's a pale yellow with the number 6098. I can't find this on my...

Hello, I am writing from Winnipeg, and have been researching Miss Davis' Academy, which is now known as "Twin Oaks", located a short distance north of here, in the small town of "St. Andrew's". My question is, are there any descendants of those who attended Miss Davis' Academy on this board, and...

Last winter I spent several months in Minneapolis, where I was spoiled by the availability of Stitchville USA. And there are quilting shops and needlework shops all over the place near my home in Colorado. This year I have a consulting gig in the Boston area (living in Malden, working in North...
