Happy Labor Day to those in the US by
Cheryl Isaak
Have a great weekend all
This will be an extra long one in my house - DH has Friday off due to hours
worked and the kids have no school on Friday so it is a 4 day weekend.
I plan on family time and garden time and maybe a little hockey and dinner
with Margaret and spouse.

Spiral-eyed needles - test results by
Fran
As promised, here's my analysis:
I ordered the #8 sewing needle and the #26 Tapestry needle
The #8 sewing needle is a larger sewing needle than I like to use (I
prefer #10's), but still works ok for general sewing and some of the
larger (14 or 16 count) monocanvas pieces. I also tried it on...

a needlework 'never' by
Kalmia
I had to learn the hard way. I had a piece of finished needlepoint at
my desk, doing some frame measuring, and, long story, I got some ink
from a gel pen on it. On the white part of course.
So, now gotta tear it out, try to get the ink off the canvas with mild
diluted shampoo, restitch or...

Happy dancing into a frenzy....(it was providential) by
Susan Hartman
Remember how I just said I'd come to peace with not rushing my "And a
Forest Grew" and decided to forgo this year's state fair and wait until
next year? I was doing a normal Happy Dance because I finished it on
Friday night and left it at the LNS on Saturday night.
Well, imagine my surprise...

How about another stitch-a-long everyone? by
Cheryl Isaak
While I'd love to try another new type of stitching, until life settles down
again (or I hit my stride again), I can concentrate on cross stitching and a
book, but learning something new will have to wait a bit.
SO - I want ideas. I'd like to use a free chart from somewhere we can all
access it....

Is it time for ..... by
Cheryl Isaak
Drum roll please
What are you stitching?
I'm stuck on letter I for the baby dragon alphabet. So, I'm making great
progress toward finishing Cheryl's Bouquet. I've told myself when I finish
with the "bottom right" page, it's back to the alphabet.

Have any of you heard of the needlework being listed as part of the
