Hi all, Not that I *need* another project, but does anyone have the pattern only for the Rainbow bridge they'd be willing to part with? I'm looking for the Sue Hillis one but don't want to buy the kit. I thought I'd do it and have it ready for whenever DD loses one of her pets, which...

Great info. Now know why I was getting do many ##$* knots. I like a laying tool but it isn't always convenient. Ie. No floor stand.

Hello everyone! So glad to see a group of stitchers with a few recent posts.. I started a google group call SE Minnesota Stitchers but have no idea how to find people who would be interested. This is the only active stitching group I can even find...hand stitching seems to be either a dying art or...

Hi everyone! I haven't been here in a long time, but thought I would pop in and say hello! Im living in NC now, and have been busy Sewing and crocheting for my church ministry. I still cross stitch, and have a million projects going at once 😜 Hope you are all doing well! Louise in NC

I guess you must all be out enjoying the nice weather! I've been home playing nurse to DH, who had one knee replacement surgery on May 15, and the 2nd on Monday. He's been keeping me pretty busy! LOL Anyone have any county/state fairs coming up that you're entering? I can't think of anything...

Well, I now have 2 more projects in my stitching cabinet. One is the Rainbow Bridge pattern I was looking for (on sale...yay!) and the other is Independence Day by Laura Perin. http://tinyurl.com/ycd65w9z I'm going to do it on black, though. I think it will set off the colors better. Not...

This falls under the heading of Reading Is A Good Thing with a subheading of Read Carefully 2 Or Even 3 Times Before Starting. I'm about 2/3 done with my current project, a Victorian house. I've been working on the "trees" on the sides and am nearly done. I just noticed last week that 2...

I finished stitching the Ivory Billed Woodpecker by Crossed Wings Designs. (forgot to include this one in my count from earlier post) Working on jig saw puzzle now, to take a little break from stitching. Rich

I was stunned when I got my mail today and I had an invitation from Nordic Needle for a closing sale. They sent out invitations to loyal patron for a week of shopping before notifying the general public about their closing They will be closing their doors forever after 42 years. What a loss. ...

Hi all, I just got an email that said DMC is coming out with 35 new colors! You can get them in a special tin now or wait until Nov. 1 when the new colors are launched (think I'll wait!). Here's the link, if you're interested: http://tinyurl.com/yc93nhhu They put more info into the email...

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...

Yaaay! I finished my Victorian House, washed & ironed it and dropped it off at Michael's, where the frame has been waiting for about 2 weeks. I should get it back in a day or 2. Will post pics of it in rctnp next week. Next up: Independence Day, a canvas piece of fireworks. I put the first...

All the best in 2018

Hi Heather I know this is from an old post but I thought maybe you would see it now as well. My question is if I buy a 16 inch bar for my Millenium frame does that gives me 16in of working space or is that the total length of the bar making the working space smaller?

Shirley, have a good one, hope you are still keeping an eye on rctn :)

I've uploaded to rctnp a few pics of my Victorian house, now finished & framed and progress pics of a couple other things I'm currently working on for your viewing pleasure. Amazing what I can get done when it's so quiet at work! BWAHAHA!!! -- Joan See my pictures he ...
