Greetings All - Has anyone else experienced a noticeable twist with Anchor #5 perele? I'm doing a hardanger piece with Vienna cloth (probably the problem there, too), and it seems that I have to slightly slant the piece in order for it to look straight. I've never encountered the problem, but...

I'm on the Mirabilia email list and got notification today that the new design, "Archangel" (#81) was out. I like it - but as usual, would pick a different ground fabric so the colors 'popped' more. (IMO of course) Sarah

Nurse Avis was making rounds one morning with a physician when she was interrupted by a co-worker who inquired about a patient's diet. Avis's co-worker said, "Gillian H. does nothing but complain about her food and for starters she says the coffee tastes like mud." * * * * *

Hi Guys, I am back from CATS - HERSHEY and have read all the posts about the Angel -- in between bouts of loving on the kitties of course. WOW -- does the Angel look purty!!!! I want to remind everyone that MEREDITH is back in the rotation. I read her post about being back but never saw anyone...

A friend of mine asked me what fretwork was and all I knew is it was a type of woodworking. But she was asking in relationship to needlecraft. Does anyone know what it is? TIA

A few months ago, one of the more puter savvy folks told me how to set up filters to keep out the porn. They must be working TOO well, as virtually every post is filtered out! How to I change it back? cowie

Just thought I'd let everyone know that the Angel has safely arrived in Maine. She was hand delivered to my DH who was out in the yard raking leaves when the postlady drove up. Took a bit of time to get her unsealed and had to have my son (with skinner arms) reach in and get out the pattern. I...

My father in law passed away about 5 years ago and over the next year, we packed up his house; the final push was just before the house was sold. My mother and sister came help. All these years later, these boxes are sitting in the basement and I am picking at them to get them out of there....
