I'm working away at a pillow top that has candlewicking floss as a major component. What was supplied feels terrible on/in my hands as well as feeling, well, chintzy. Anyone got a reasonable source for candewicking supplies? Cheryl

(Hope this isn't a rerun!) I've gotten out the tropical themed hand painted canvas I got for Christmas and put it on stretcher bars to stare and start thinking about. I've decided I'm going to do a bargello type stitch for the background on each picture - horizontal for the fish and...

Written by an Australian Dentist To Kill an American You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American. So an Australian dentist wrote an...

For some reason, I've had a hankering to do some Hardanger. It's been awhile since I played in that sandbox, so to speak, and I have WIPs out the wazoo and have committed to finishing some of them before allowing myself to take up anything new. But yesterday I succumbed - started a very small...

While we were away this last week....and with NO Internet to divert me, I finished RK Portfolio Coconut Palm. Now I have to start and finish the Date Palm to have the pair to take to the framer to go in the living room. They pick up the trim on the area rug on our tile floor. I am almost...

There was a gentleman in full Scottish attire in Barnes and Noble in Nashua NH Kilt, knee socks with the garter, an Aran type sweater and sporran. Didn't look for a dirk, but would be a weapon and severely frowned on. Cheryl

I worked the previously mentioned freebie on stretcher bars and was appalled that it gotten so skewed that none of the sides are perfectly straight. In an attempt to get even edges, I did something really stupid -- I cut a border of 12 threads, folded it leaving 4 threads as a visible border,...
