Hello group, I've been lurking here for a long time and contributed hardly anything so feel guilty for asking a question, but here goes. Hope it hasn't been covered recently. I use the Q-snap frames almost exclusively for cross-stitch projects and have always hand-held them. Sometimes I prop them...

I've had it! Please someone put me out of my misery! This weekend made it 6 solid months with the migraine. I even had to cancel a much anticipated S.E.X. outing with Ellice and Donna over it. I knew on Friday, with it thundering all through the right side of my head and my stomach refusing to...

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...

Geez, as if I don't have enough to do........but using a Russian punch needle is a technique I've been wanting to try for many years and finally after seeing finished samples here and there and talking to my fellow designer friend Pam Kellogg who has been "playing" with her set of needles, I...

As stitching and eating chocolate often go hand-in-hand ( or is it just me? ), I thought it would be a good idea to include a chocolate department on my website. I've done some research - basically, buying lots of different makes of chocolate on the internet and sampling them in order to find...

*Jälleen kerran on syytä tuoda esille sitä faktaa, erttä ydinvoima on menneisyyden tekniikkaa ja tällaiset alla olevat mm. päästöttömän polton laitokset tulevat VARSIN nopsaan syrjäyttämään ydinvoiman kaikilla keskeisillä sektoreillaan.

Yesterday, while waiting for people to return phone calls, I turned watched West Side Story on TV. After seeing a stage production on Broadway, I remember being very disappointed in the movie when it first came out. My opinion hasn't changed -- Natalie Wood was awful as a singing dancing Puerto...

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 have been lurking for a while (posted a couple of times), and needed to de-lurk to ask this question...I have been doing my cross stitch projects on Aida, usually 14 count, ever since I seriously started with stitching about a year or so ago. I want to try to make the leap into 28 over 2 with...

EQUALITY .... of the advances of women in achieving equality throughout the world....Barbara Walters did a story on gender roles in Kabul several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked about 10 feet behind their husbands. She returned to Kabul recently and...

I am looking for a specific cross stitch chart that has the words "Pleasant words are like a honeycomb...sweetness to the soul and health to the body. Proverbs 16:24" This chart has a garden in the center with a wide border of bees, honeycomb, and flowers around the outside. The first part of the...

We're getting into the "terms discussion" againG I get a little passionate about terms sometimes but try to be mellow most of the time. My preferences (admitting not much in the world is written in stone) a Embroidery: Any work produced with a needle, a fiber and a ground Needlepoint: ...

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...

Well, since we seem to have some activity here again, I thought it was time for this ever-popular stash-enabler topic! I just finished Northern Lights Wolf (mentioned in another post) and then it was a toss-up on whether I wanted to do a Halloween project (one of Stoney Creek's designs) or a...

I'm one of those people who embody the 'out of sight, out of mind' adage/cliche. IOW, if something isn't visible, I don't remember I've got it. How do you store your patterns, kits, charts, magazines, books? Are they organized by technique or subject or ... ? What about your fabric? By color,...

I just came across the kit that DMC sent out to its Mentors years ago. I joined but never actually "mentor-ed", so I was wondering if anyone would like it. It has four small starter kits, a Mentor pin, a "Mentor Design Brochure", a Shopper's Checklist for floss and metallics, and generic business...
