It's Lula's fault that I've been on a S(tash) E(nhancing) eX(perience) journey. In the past few days, I went to a going out of business sale and bought a Puritan portable rugframe that looks very similar to the K's Creations ones for $35 (list price was $144 US), 5 Mary Jane Collection Jacobean...

Is anyone interested in competing on a team vs team challenge? I'd be interested in forming a team... Email me off line - I figure we need about 15 daily players to be competitive. Cheryl

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...

My kids have a couple of words they made up that they like to use and I've picked up on - one is "smartical," which just means you are very smart (usually said when you state the obvious). The other is a great stash word though - and it came to mind yesterday when I received a package of threads -...

I've been trying for several days to look at the Told in a Garden web page, and I can never connect. Anybody know what's going on? Sue -- Susan Hartman/Dirty Linen The Magazine of Folk and World Music www.dirtylinen.com

I received unbelievably fast service from Tandem Cttage today, and just wanted to remind UK stitchers about them! www.tandemcottage.co.uk -- Be who you are and say what you feel....Because those that matter....don't mind....And those that mind....don't matter.

Yes, that same old iris needlepoint.. I am bound and determined to finish it by Spring. I came to the conclusion that I hated the background in pale gray and spent hours ripping out what I'd done, plus I think I was about to run short too. (Blasted kit). I need to find a supplier of DMC, pick...

I managed to not save your last post, but I gather you are planning on a group bid on the 1200 floss cards. I really hope you don't. Before you started talking of it, I posted that I was interested in this...and please don't outbid me! I currently have a bid in, and a max bid, too. Should I be...

I've been trying to access Kay Montclare's website and some other sites that deal with her work, but I've had no success. Does anyone know what's up? I don't see any mention of her name in the group for more than a year. Hoping everything is OK.... Kermit

A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week so the magician did the same tricks over and over again. There was only one problem. The captain's parrot saw the shows each week and began to understand how the magician did every trick. Once he understood, he started...

Dear Max, the dachsie, had surgery on his back two weeks ago today. He had a bunch of stitches, covered with some sort of glue, on his back. He was scheduled to have the stitches removed today ( two weeks later). I called the vet's office on Thursday to confirm that they would be around today,...

I need your opinion, should I use the diamonds or the squares on this quilt? This is a present for my new daughter in law so it has to be perfect! The picture is below: Thanks! Gwynn http://tinyurl.com/3jp6b

Thank you to all who shared ideas. Here's the scoop. The actual stiffening agent did, in fact, wash out with hot water and dish washing liquid. Around the edges of the piece it is mostly soft - as it should be. However, in the middle, it is stiff - but not because of a stiffening agent, but...

Last night was a good night - I had three finishes! The first was a cross-stitch piece that I'd started I don't know how many months ago - sometime in the last year. It was a little project (freebie of a thistle) that I was stitching twice - gifts for two people. I'd abandoned it and forgotten...
