That would be me.... I was moving my Gazelle into position and knocked over a full glass of water... not too bad, yet... In trying to get the stand out of the way and quickly clean up the spill I knock the stand over. My favorite ghinghers (spelling?) were hanging on the stand and the stand...

I actually did some stitching tonight although that was not the plan. Husband and child are gone for a long weekend so good time to get a lot of projects tackled. Stripped and washed all the beds including pillows, comforters, and quilts. Those are all made up again except for the two biggest...

Hi all, In cleaning out some of dear-departed MIL's stuff, we ran across some tools, which we thought might be stitching tools. I've posted 4 new pics on my webshots album http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/358698631yQeGBs?start=48 It's the 2nd to the last picture. They are on an 8 1/2x11...

Psst! Have a look at our score! We're running seventh!

Ooo! Have a look! We're *leading* the board, coming first out of fourteen teams at the moment. (No thanks to my paltry score, sadly). While the board may change over time, I think this is the best we've done so far. Hooray! ;-D -- Trish {|:-} Newcastle, NSW, Australia

I want to get into doing my own upholstery in my car. The reason is that its expensive for someone else to do and I want to buy cars, fix them up and sell them. The question then is: What kind of sewing machine should I have for doing this work? Mike

The post claiming to show us how to earn MILLIOANS of dollars in one week was just what I needed to start this discussion. I'm fully aware that most of the world doesn't speak English and that we all make misteaks at the keybored; however, sites that are aimed at English speaking visitors...

Ah - it was so neat. What....Oh, sorry - our guild stitching weekend. Our local guild, Trillium Embroidery Guild, had its semi-annual stitching weekend at Elim Lodge this weekend. Eleven stitchers spent the weekend working on all sort of projects, kibitzing, snacking, eating wonderful meals...

DH and I are going on a cruise at the end of the month - my DM is coming to watch the kids. I've pretty much decided not to bring a project in my carry on; I don't want to lose scissors, needles or my clover cutter. Local airport is known to be pretty strict. So - I think I want to bring...

I have a group of Brownie Girl scouts in grades 1-3 and one of the badges (Try-its) is called Stitching Together. The girls have never done any stitching. Need some simple projects to get them started....also if you would like to donate anything to my little troop, be happy to take it. Thanks for...

I was wandering the net this morning and found this exercise to learn some different options for stitching with multicoloured flosses. http://www.polstitchesdesigns.co.uk/stitchingexercise.pdf I think I will be working on this one fairly soon as a reference piece! -- My blog-...

Thanks to Felice, who reminded us there have been few stitchy posts recently, and in the spirit of a New Year coming, I hereby submit the following enabling question: What new design(s) have you recently seen/purchased? Please include links! :) Joan

Well, I got it for my birthday from my sister. Arrived a few weeks ago and DD and I have a game going. While I haven't lost yet, it's not far off as she buys property and studios every chance she gets. So - it's Monopoly with all the names changed to stitching terms for properties and the...

I got the DMC email newsletter, and they had this cute game! For those with younger kids, interested in stitching, this might be a fun thing to have. Gill

I finally did it...hubby drove me 2.5 hours to the very first Needlework Shop I've ever been in. I about died of happiness! Stichville USA is in Minnetonka, MN and was pretty hard to find, as it's hidden in the corner of an extensive complex of strip malls. The place is HUGE and stocked with...

OH! And I did get a stitchy gift, my mother bought me "Plight of Fancy" by Long Dog Samplers! Now I just need to "find" the time to do it! lol Julie

OK -- I am now loudly yelling UNCLE!!! I give up!!!! I have just sent the directions to about 14 people. If anyone else wants them, can you wait a bit OK? I am spending all my time updateing the addy list and it's making me crazy -- well, crazier than I already am -- LOL. Let the people who...

I've posted a few times about my progress towards adding my own Xmas stocking to the collection of family heirlooms I've stiched in years past. As of 30 minutes ago, the stitching is officially done!!! Pics posted on my blog here for anyone who's...
