I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with the settings for the ng! Aaaahhhhh, I'm *home* again! :) -- Joan If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?

I'm just starting a sampler that will use a lot of linen thread. Any hints for ease of use, or quirks I should know about? Lucille

Had to share this with people "in the know"! On Craig's list there was a post for embroidery thread for sale (this was amazing just for the fact DH showed it to me, when he's always saying I don't need more stitching stuff!). Anyway, it was a good deal: $20 for 120 skeins of floss (some...

Went to the Quilt/Craft/Sew festival last weekend with a friend. Neither of us quilts or sews, but we did find a few things to buy. My friend reinterprets traditional quilt designs in crochet, and found lots of inspiration. The only stitchy stuff was from Bobbie G Designs. I bought and just...

I finally finished something (even if it is a small project): Olde Colonial Designs' Measuring Gift for Thee. Also, I got my band sampler back from the instructor today and was very pleased to hear what she said about my third lesson. :-) -- Bonnie

Does anyone know when the Jane Nicholas book on beetles is suposed to be released in the US? Amazon has had it on their site for ages now, but it still says "not yet released". Becky

Hi! I was cruising ebay and found a needlepoint pillow by Erica Wilson called "french flowers". The copy said it was based on a design in the MOMA's collection. The ebay listing is for a nearly completed needlepoint pillow. I really like the colors in this designs, it's the color scheme I am...

okay - a puzzler for the chemistry types among us. Years ago I had a plastic first aid kit in the truck. It doesn't fit in the car's glove box. But dang, it's the perfect size to hold "stuff" for a travel bag. Or just to store buttons/charms etc... EXCEPT - I can not get the printed label off....

I am a "drop in" here, but hope somebody here has some insight. I am a medium skilled cross stitcher. I've made 3 large samplers and quite a few small things. The project I have just started is making me nuts. It's a very large Bucilla Table Cloth. It's a Christmas pattern and I decided to use one...

I'm having no luck in looking for an out of print book through the "conventional" needlework book sites (Hard To Find, Ruth Kernes, etc.) I have specific information on the book (title, author name, date of pub - even ISBN number) but I'm still not able to locate any available copies of the...

A friend recently saw a picture in an English magazine advertising Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum's (or Lavendar & Lace) Celtic Summer and Celtic Autumn in different colors other than the ones designed by Marilyn. Number 1 - is this legal? I hope Marilyn knows about it. I wouldn't want it to be an...

After reading several posts, I have to butt in with several questions. Post 1: The thing I get from employers because of my history of cancer is "What if there's a relapse?" I'm not even going to mention it when I apply to become an EMT somewhere. I get asked a lot when interviewing "How old are...

I'm hoping someone can help. I'm a crochet beginner self taught working on my first project...a nice simple scarf. Basically the pattern was worsted yarn ch 60" and sc until width is achieved. Using an I hook. Unfortunately it appears to be curling up on me. Is there something I can do to stop this...

Many years ago I received from my grandmother a metal form that I used to crochet yarn into long strips. I would wrap the yarn around this ladder like form, each time crocheting the yarn together, wrap around again, crochet the yarn together, etc. When done, I would take the yarn off of the form. I...
