We have satellite TV and I love the range of show out there that are far more to my taste than the standard network fare. This is what is on during stitching time and some of my housework time First choice - craft shows excepting anything on scrap booking. I'll include any antique shows with this...

What would you take to a desert island, stitching-wise? You have ONE box that you can fill--24" x 12" x 12". You will be marooned for four years. The island has food and water and shelter, but no LNS and no way to order and have things mail-dropped. ; -) If you like, you can be marooned with...

OK Folks, Lissen up. We have the Fresh (YESSSS) V. Artificial Christmas Tree Wars for the winter and the Mayo V. MW (YUCKY stuff) Wars for the summer and Coke (OK) V. Pepsi (BEST) Wars and PEEPS Wars for the slow times. I got to thinking that we have nothing for the Spring. Personally, I feel...

It's been a long time since I remember having a round of postings dealing with different needlework tips & hints. Since things seem to be so slow, I thought this might be a good topic, especially for any newbies out there or those of us who just forget stuff. I'll go first since seeing the...

Are you there???

Paris Hilton was ordered back to jail to serve the remainder of her sentence. (or according to the CNN slug-line "sentencece") Perhaps one of us could drop by and teach her to stitch so that she doesn't have time to get weepy and depressed again? -- Karen C - California www.CFSfacts.org...

I am currently working a counted canvas chart and the directions are making me crazy. (My sig is out of date, so don't look there.) I can figure out what and where to stitch easily enough, but the copyediting is atrocious! Once and for all, PLURALS DO NOT NEED APOSTROPHES! To all designers: I...

Just an observation -- it seems perfectly reasonable for folks on newsgroups to solicit advice and opinions, make comments, etc. concerning the topics of the newsgroups. However, it continues to amaze me that people on this and other groups actually ask for legal advice, medical advice, tax...

I was asked the other day what I would like to see in the stitching section of a local, independent craft shop. I know what I'd like to see, and I wondered what others would find most important. So, if you could design a stitchery shop or department, what would you insist it offer, in the way of...

If this isn't proper newsgroup manners, please excuse me. I stumbled upon this site through a Google search and just thought it was quite funny....you know we all have those kinds of days where we like to stitch one of these pieces haha. Be aware, there are a couple pieces that use...

Hi ! I haven't been to an airport ( until yesterday ) since about 6 weeks before the 9-11attacks. I had to send my two older children ( teens ) to Baltimore from Detroit for the weekend. Because of the kids ages, they were travelling as UA minors, so I got a pass through to go with them to...

I will not increase my stash of frames as I never have the right one anyway. I will do a Brazilian embroidery sampler that's been languishing in a drawer for awhile. I will set up a bunch of subject specific doodle cloths and label each effort with name of stitch or process. I'll make a history...

I wish you all a wonderful new Presidency !!!! mirjam

HI Guys, I went back to both Michael's and Susan's today to take a second look at the stuff and discuss placement of the little plaque. The lady at Michael's framing did NOT want to have anything to do with putting the plaque on the mat -- no way, no how! She said she **would** do it but really...
