The second one was probably "The Subversive Stitch" by Roszika Parker. Try here - http://www.amazon.com/ exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0415902061/ qid=1125540794/sr=8-1/ref=pd_bbs_1/ 103-8341894-1618225?v=glance&s=books&n=507846 Cut and paste the url so it's all one line in your web browser. It's...

How long is everyone's list of finished needlework pieces as opposed to your list of works in progress. Here is what I have compiled so far from my own stash. W.I.P. Jean McIntosh's 'English Garden' Babs Fuhrmann's 'A Winter Scene By Moonlight' My own chart from photograph ~ finished will be 7"...

I have a friend who is searching for the Elvish font (called Tengwar Quenya or Tengwar Cursive) from J.R.R. Tolkien. She wants to translate the Ring poem into Elvish and then stitch it. Any ideas where we might find this? Thanks. Marcia

Shirley, have a good one, hope you are still keeping an eye on rctn :)

I completed a piece of crewelwork back in 1981, and the background has become discolored. What is the best way to clean it? I'm not sure, but I think the background is cotton.

Hello all, I have been enjoying reading all the posts but now am going to ask you for some advice. I have stitched for a number of years, but mostly antique sampler reproductions. Now I am taking the plunge to do a complex pattern with intricate shading. It is Cob Cottage by Cross My Heart - one...

Ok, I resurrected a UFO. It is Indigo Rose's Mother to Daughter Sampler. I had put it aside when I got to area #14. It had queen stitches in a twisted knot pattern. I remember why put it down :-P . Well that section is now done!!!!! I have also progressed to the last side of the nutmeg designs...

Joan - So glad to see you as the featured stitcher in the Nordic Needle newsletter this week. Woo-hoo! (And more than a little jealous that you can drive to the store so easily!) sue --

First, belated thanks for the group's help with my two recent questions. I found the suggestion for how to deal with Facets by tying a thread to it and pulling it through the canvas to be most helpful -- my idea about using a needle with a large eye was way off base. On attaching...

Well, it's hockey tryout time and despite DS having a good record, he didn't make a team in his current league. (don't worry, he'll find a good home) BUT at the high school hockey brunch, he was named JV Goalie of the Year for having had no losses. C

Hoping I don't open up a can of worms here. . . Has anyone seen this movie? I just got back and I have to say that was the most difficult 2 hours I think I've ever had in my life. I cried almost the entire time and at one point I thought I was going to have to leave. . . I feel emotionally and...

After having all of my cross stitch experience (little as it is) be with Aida cloth, yesterday I started my first piece on linen. And I just have to say. Yuck. Ick. This is soooo sloooooooooooow. :P Humor me. Tell me I'll get faster as I get used to it. Tracey

Would anyone here happen to know anything about rosesøm? It's a kind of traditional norwegian embroidery (yes, there is something besides Hardanger!) that you can see here http://www.telemarksnett.no/bilder/folkekunst/bunad3.html and...

So I'm reading through blogs today and got to WhizGidget Wonders site and was reading through the state of stitching report. I got to the link for the Desdiderata design ( http://www.elegantstitch.com/indigorose/desiderata.jpg ). I immediately thought of a person I work with, she actually trained...

When stitching computer generated patterns of great works of art, as I have observed before, I am amazed at some of the detail which these patterns show when stitched. There are times when a few confetti stitches bring out wonderful details; there are others when such stitches add absolutely...

I am starting a very small piece of cross stitch but it is being put(temporarily) on a large piece of fabric that has other stitching on it. I have begun the process of basting every tenth line down and then across but have started to think about how long a process this is going to be. Quite...
