Someone here mentioned this very long series of books a while back. I finally found them at Barnes and Noble, got the first two, read them and have ordered more. Needless to say, I really like them, so whoever you are, thank you so much. For those of you who might want to get hooked they are...

Hello all I finally have my hands on a copy of Jane Nicholas' "the stumpwork and surface embroidery Beetle Collection". I am stuck for a superlative for it.......it is just wonderful. Now all I have to do is read it all, absorb 10% and live long enough to put it into practice when I finish...

Hello, I did have house all to my self, DS just awoke. That's only right, he fell asleep first - by 11 PM last night, DD made it until 11:30 or so ( a truly heroic effort on her part). Both slept in the living room all night. DH and I went up, watched the ball drop, turned off the tube and read...

A friend is heading to Pasadena in a few weeks, with room in the car and room in the hotel room, which means all I'd have to pay for is meals. :) Of course, at this time of year, everything depends on my health on the precise day of departure, but anyone down south want to meet The Karen, and...

Someone who knows I like to knit and crochet had given me some inexpensive yarn, one of those off-brands you've never heard of. I've been using it the last few days, and it's given me "rope burns" on the finger it flows over and in the palm of the hand that regulates the tension. I can only work...

I have cut four pieces of fabric -- 2 for Fireman's Prayer and 2 for Fireman's Wife -- and one skein each of the colors used in FP. The fabric is a mite wider than the available scroll, but never fear, I have the handy-dandy large Stitchaway sitting next to the couch. The center of the chart and...

Ok, I want an absolute idiots guide on how to do silk ribbon embroidery. I want very clear concise pictures of what the heck it is I am supposed to be doing...and I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars to buy this book.... What am I looking for? (Besides a new brain!?) I have been looking at...

I went to Barnes & Noble over in Lancaster today looking for a book on MS Publisher. I keep coming up empty-handed here. Well, I struck out there too but figured while I was there I'd look around. I walked over to the magazines and was curious to see which magazines they carry as opposed...

This has nothing to do with anything, but I am so happy!! My stepson was married in 1991 to a young lady here in Miami , FL. It was a catholic wedding, and I NEVER EVER felt any sense of fun between them. DH has always said that Mel ( the bride) said "jump" and Jimmy said " how high?". In fact, she...

I was thinking of you and your DH this morning while reading the Ledger Sports page. One of the linesmen at the Rangers game got a puck to the face and had 20 or so stitches and had to leave the game. Gee, I hope that never happens to your or your hubby. Seaspray

Decided to join since I would like to talk to other needlework junkies. I do mostly needlepoint, working on Elizabeth Bradley's summer wreath at the moment. I found that in my late mother's stash, I was surprised because I think she forgot about it or she would have given it to me years ago. I do...

Does anyone get the DMC newsletter? I am in their database, but never get the newsletter. I wrote to DMC, got a reply,but no newsletter. Sandy.

Hi! I have a Bucilla stamped cross stitch kit 42041 Family Tree Lap Quilt, purchased via (I think) Good Housekeeping magazine a few years ago. The thread-colour key for this was lost, and I'm wondering if there's anyone who coule helpf me find anotehr copy of it? I have the actual design chart,...

I've looked to no avail for Cut Work. I checked two sites and one said it was available in December, the other January. Should I just wait or is it out there if I search hard enough? Sylvia Blanchard Triangle North Carolina Mom to Brandon (firefighter) & Matt (plumber) Grandma to Madison Nicole...
