All the presents which are done, are wrapped. Some boxes are already shipped. Two other boxes are waiting only for the baked goodies (which I will be making over the weekend). So, I'm in a pretty good position for having the flurry of same-day turnaround trial transcripts between now and...

Got all caught up on my paid work by dinner time and got some unexpected stitching time tonight. A couple hundred stitches is a couple hundred stitches. :) -- Karen C - California www.CFSfacts.org where we give you the facts and dispel the myths

A friend put out a plea for Christmas ornaments. Couldn't find the book I use most (only about the 127th time it's gone AWOL), so I designed two myself. 90% the same, but stitched up in very different colors, they won't look much alike at all. Just about done model-stitching the first of...

JUst curious to see where he is right now. Between Icelandic volcanoes and Dawne's very sad news I hope he is heading to Arizona.

Hi all, You may or may not remember back when I worked on the Indian chief for my sister. Well, she's here and has it with her and she's gotten a lot done since I fixed it for her. I had a brilliant thought today: redo the headband with beads. I proposed this to her and there was a long silence...

Hi, I am a longtime lurker/infrequent poster here on RCTN and I have a question for any needlepointers who may be here. I have a painted canvas in the pattern of a patchwork quilt that I have just started. It is made up of nine blocks; the blocks themselves are made up of diagonal stripes, with...

I love the blog thread! Anyone know how I can bookmark that specific thread so I can find it again when I actually have a chance to read some of the blogs?

Milliner's needles are like sharps, but longer. Are there needles that are like tapestry needles, but longer? Context: Once in a great while I'm given an hour's access to a child who is waiting for a van to take him home after some event. I use that time to introduce the child to running...

I'm thinking about stitching on an old flour sack tea towel. I want to use Punto Stuoia (or Rush Stitch) which is very much like bokhara couching. Can anyone tell me how many threads I need for good coverage? I'd have to spend quite a bit of time and thread to do experiments so I was wondering if...

Hi Everyone, I'm doing a small project and the original design called for 32 ct. Lambswool from Wichelt. What would be the closest color from Zweigart (I don't like working with Wichelt, IMHO it's too 'flimsy' for anything but drawn thread work. Thanks in advance. Lil Mr. Cole's Axiom: The sum...

Hello friends! I will be attempting to teach my boyfriend to cross stitch shortly, yay! One thing I know well after, well, a few years on this old Earth, is that men's brains work a "tad" differently than women's do, so I thought I'd ask if there was anything I should watch out for? Any concepts...

I have one of those bee's wax disks which come inside a hard plastic container with three grooves on top and bottom where you can slide your thread through to wax it. This was my first one and before I toss it, I have a question. I am no longer able to access the wax through the grooves as there...

I am interested in making my own greeting/gift cards using small embroidered pieces. I would like to obtain card mounts with various types of openings (e.g., oval, square, round) but have no idea where I would find such items. I'd prefer not to make them myself, and would like to have matching...

Hi Everyone- It just occurred to me that I haven't properly introduced myself, even thought I've been reading the group off and on for over 2 years, and have even posted a handful of times. So here goes! I'm a Midwest girl who was recently transplanted to New England for my DH's career. Still...
