Attention Jan Lennie! (Re Norfolk) by Jan Lennie
Thanks Pat , I've actually been to Norfolk quite a lot - we used to go there once or twice a year before Ellie (3 year old) was born . We just fancied a change and went to Devon and Cornwall the past few years so really it's 'back to Norfolk' rather than a new visit . Thanks for the links though...

Carrying Projects by Jacquard_The_Ripper
What are the best bags for carrying projects around and where can I find them? I need something to hold my scroll frame, floss, directions, etc. I hate to drop everything into my large tapestry bag, feels like it's dropping to a black hole. Thanks, Cynthia

O.T. (VERY) debt question by Liz Hampton

Mallorcan Stitchery by AnnieB
On Holiday in Mallorca (Spanish Island) last week I saw some ladies embroidering table linen with tiny crochet shaped needles rather than sewing needles. Sadly my spanish was too limited to have a meaningful conversation with them; can anyone here point me in the direction of this craft please :...

Stitch Version 1.2 Question by Brenda Lewis
Piggybacking: Is there any way to print in any mode other than symbols? I've experienced this same problem with the backstitching. This creates a lot of clutter especially when the backstitching is all in one color so those symbols are unnecessary. Jenn Vanderslice wrote: I'm trying out this...

Survey Question: ages of needleworkers? by wild
Hi all, after reading one or two posts in The Garden, there seemed to be a repetetive debate on the expected age of a needleworker. I assume that most posting here are in the 40+ age range, but, purely out of interest, I would like to do a survey - and this includes all lurkers who donīt normally...
