So sorry to hear about your DS. I am sure he will be alright, just make sure to keep the burns clean and covered. I can sympathize. My DS burned his hands at Grandmas house when he was about a year. He grabbed onto a propane space heater. He had 2nd degrees on his hands, it was hard because he...

I'd love to see your book Victoria. Deborah I have several books which are very old. One of them is from 1938 and it titled "American Needlework: The History of Decorative Stitchery and Embroidery from the late 16th to the 20th Century" This book is Dedicated to All Women Who Love Beauty.

Just getting a final headcount...how many of you will be meeting us at Stitchery Row on Saturday, August 23rd? -- Dannielle from NY http://www.beitzell.com/dannielle/index.htm

Hi Victoria - I might be interested. Please email me with details and what you might like in rteurn. Cheryl M

Hi all, If anyone would know, it would have to be someone on RCTN :-) My great (grand?) aunt passed away at the beginning of August. I brought home her needlework stash and faithfully aired the six pieces out as she was a heavy smoker. I only had time to scan one in tonight, but there will be...

You're right. This one is stunning and the colors are my favorites. I think I need it too!!! Wouldn't it be a perfect way to do just a little hardanger, which is something I've been meaning to try for a long time. Lucille "Joan Erickson" wrote in...

I have a new computer. The old one finally gave up, rolled over and is now in well-used and loved computer heaven. I have an eMac with OS10 and can not believe the number of postings I have. I fussed about a lack of them a couple of times....not any more!!!!! When I struggle to do something...

Hi Guys, I would like to trade needlework stuff (or other stuff of your choice) for a noren -- is there anyone here who is living in Japan and would like to do a trade with MOI?? I want to get a Maneki-Neko noren and can't find one the right size. The ones I find online are a single panel (about...

Hi all! I came across you accidentally, but I am so glad! I'm Monica and an avid cross-stitcher. I'm teaching myself how to quilt and plan to take knitting lessons once my kids go back to school! Originally from the Detroit area, I know live in the Chicago area!! Monica

Thanks. My stitching always has threads on the back and never specialty stitches. If a TW castle wins 3rd its tough. I enter every couple of years. I just cant stitch as fast as some. 4th is as good as I usually get. I am surprised about the 3rd place that category had more competition in...

Disclaimer over, on http://www.kjcraftworks.com/KJNeedlework/ Kathleen's got a nice little pattern with a magic wand with the caption "Sorry my magic wand is in the shop". I'm debating whether or not to Liz - Darn.. I can't get that site to work! And that sounds like something I'd really...

Hello to the group, It's been several weeks since I made a post and just thought it was time. I don't know about the group but it seems that I'm always looking for items for my stitching. Not to long ago I read a post about a shop that had just about any type of needlework, well they were right....

Last spring I posted about this. It was a huge success. So many applicants had to be turned away. Those who took the class begged for more. So, they're doing it again in September. Here's the information. For those who live in this area, or are planning to visit, this is a don't miss: Thanks...

Dear Tannia, Thank you for posting this! I recently completed an afghan totally covered in squares based on Kogin-Zashi patterns. My basic source was a wonderful book from Ondori on the subject. I used cross stitch and DMC floss (124 skeins) for the project because the book was in Japanese and...

Hello All, Despite some wonderful EBay S.E.X., I just haven't done much stitching. Just not in the mood ( lost a dear friend recently to Lupus, still down). But since I have an oil change today, I have a car project that I might get some progress on that one! On topic, I found EBay and now have to...

Hi folks!!! Thanks to everyone who was interested in helping me clear out my craft closet by offering to take the Anchor floss off my hands. It's been claimed and will be winging it's way to it's new home as soon as I get the address info from Kim the craftnut. Thanks again!!! Kris Hacker.

Yes, I imagine the castle would have been a bit dark and dank. I guess we're lucky to be able to have our little stitching corners with comfy chairs and floss organizers! Not sure what to do with that upper right corner when it comes to making a chart; seems like a lot of black, but I do like...

Mine has always been the gingerbread bowl - or, in any event, ANYTHING that included black treacle (molasses) Pat P. "Fred" wrote in message ... I suspect that most of you remember "licking out the bowl" after momma was through with...

I'm looking for a Christmas sampler to stitch for this year or next. Does anyone have any suggestions? What's your favorite one? Thanks. Addie
