I wondered how long it would take for the virus to hit the ng; the Symantec warning said many were targeted but I couldn't find a list. As you all hopefully know, DO NOT open the mjozu.zip attachment! I don't know as I'd trust the veracity of any of the links in the message either. Brian Cook...

I'm hoping that someone can help me find a pattern that I've lost. I stitched it many years ago, and would love to do another one. It's of a frog sitting in a little boat, with a blue hat on his head, and he's fishing. It's stitched on blue aida cloth. I know it came from a cross-stitch magazine,...

Hi All, Just wanted to let everyone know that our Freebies page is back up and running with PDF files for easier downloads. Our introductory design celebrates the beloved folktale, The Bremen Town Musicians. I want to thank all the wonderful stitchers who've helped us have a fantastic first year...

Thanks for the vote of confidence. Native New Yorkers always knew those things and that's why we react to the bad press that we get. And yes, even though I now live in Florida I will always be a New Yorker. Born there, raised there, lived there most of my life and proud of...

OK -- MOI again. I am not sure if Vic still has the chart of if she's sent it off to me so I am posting this specific question to the group. I am ready to start gridding the fabric. The edges are all overcast and the center is marked with a single white stitch. My problem is that I don't have...

Here's two examples. That will have to do until the Box is completed. http://www.heritageshoppe.com/temp/sabalace.jpg And an unusual example of the stitching: http://www.heritageshoppe.com/temp/sabalace2.jpg This is *very* fine work. My info on it is downstairs, but I'll post more tomorrow.

Yesterday I purchased a pattern called Needlepoint Rainbow Sampler, simply because I like the vibrant colors and the different stitches used. What I didn't notice at the time, though, was the variety of threads that the pattern calls for. Eeek! Major shopping and storage required if I don't...

Popped in for lunch there today to find the addition of "Chinese" food to the lunch menu. Most the of original menu is intact and the fresh rolls are still great. Any one else been there since the management change? Cheryl

I've just discovered a wonderful thing two buttons on my new Apple e-Mac can do. If I have a bunch of e-mails to delete, after making sure there are none I want to open, I push the Apple key and the A key. All e-mails are highlighted, I follow the directions and get the entire batch at one time. ...

Dear Friends, I have finally hit that place (SO much yarn that...) I have needlepoint yarn to give to charitable causes as follows: I have bunches of DMC and Anchor that have been stored smoke-free and pet-free. These were purchased in multiples to work large patterns and are selected to shade ...

Hi Guys, OK -- here is what I have come up with. Sinc eI didn't get any feedback from any of you, I just went ahead and made them up from what I remember as being discussed over the last several days. If you want to add or change anything, let me know, OK? They aren't FAQ's as much as they are...

Hi y'all!! We had a great week in Charlotte, NC at our Bounder Rally, camping right next to the big Speedway. I met many old friends, and as always, discovered a few more had quit RVing, or had died.. That is the way with big groups of people. Last night's entertainment was Boots Randolph, of...

Hi all My DH has just bought himself a new Palm gismo with all the whistles and bells so I have inherited his "old" one. Of course, all I want it for is to list my stash! I took a look in the archives for stuff about Palms and ThinkDB progs and Organised Expressions etc but the info and posts are...

Some time ago, someone here posted a list of changes that she made to Lady of the Flag to make her a brunette instead of a blonde as charted. Although I'm nowhere near her head yet (but I have completed one working copy page minus the beading!), I'd like to print out a copy of these changes to...

Hi, can anyone advise me as to what to use to hold my cross stitch taut enough for me to work on. I am thinking about getting a Tapestry frame or Embroidery hoop, but don't know how to use them. (Have only seen pictures of them) Thanks, Jill

Oh My -- Dianne has done a GREAT job with the site :-))). I just went and looked it over and she has all the info in place now. She neatened up a few of the the FAQ's that I wrote so I want to say THANK YOU to Dianne! I knew I could trust her to make it better for the website. The only section...

Based on a message I read here, I attempted to join this group to learn more about using my PDA to help with cross stitch stash. I was shocked to find that the moderator of said group denied my "application." I thought the idea of these groups was to help trade information and teach and learn new...
