Am I the only stitcher totally disheartened with attending shows by the small minority of people who think barging everybody aside with all the skills employed on the rugby field is acceptable behaviour! I've just about survived Stitch 2004 at London Olympia today but my main memory is of the bad...

Everyone has a unique taste. So every room should have a unique style accordingly. A beautiful needlepoint rug would light your house up and catch the eyes of your friends. I photoed a lot of needlepoint rug pieces right after they were stitched, positioned. They are real pieces other than...

I was wondering if there are people here who own Husqvarna Platinum Plus machine.

While I mostly watched on the sidelines about the scrapbooking debate, I was in creativity heck -- I had a vision for a design but wasn't at all happy with test results.

Hi everyone! Here at work there is one person who is leaving us soon. She is not gonna die. But anyway, we have a group here. A group which is making a big card for her. A thank you card.

I have been here several years and have two questions. What do the numbers next to the list of posts stand for? I miss getting postings (I can tell when someone answers a post I did not see) and several of my own posts show up several days late...can anyone tell me why? I guess that is three...

Hey all, I hope someone can help me with this. I've done some needlepointing before, but it's been a long time. Would any of you be able to suggest a good needlepoint kit for me to try? I'm looking for something that has good instructions but will take me beyond the basics. In other words I...

In another life, I had a more descriptive signature, complete with a link to a web site. In this incarnation, I'm not trying to hide my real self but I don't want the email to be harvested so I'm thinking about using something like option 1: I give good thread -- which is kind of pun-ny given that...

After doing several days research, closely examining the original silk paintings saved by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller in Colonial Williamsburg here, getting the floor frame ready and the silks divided, I am plying needle to the linen seedcloth today. You know how that first stitch is scary!

Looking for LNS in the area, we will be staying at the Grand Ole Opry Hotel - visiting for our other passion, the 40th anniversary of the Ford Mustang... Part of the deal is I get to visit all the LNS and have all the SEX I want! ;-)

Last Sunday I went to my first quilt show. I went to look at quilts but if I had known there would be so much embroidery to see at a quilt show I would have gone to one a long time ago. I was surprised at how many quilts there were and the various levels of expertise shown by them. There were...
