I'm almost done stitching a portrait (140x120x90 colors) and was curious what the opinion was on putting it under glass? I remember reading somewhere not to because it flattens out the stitches? The person receiving this has smokers in the house and I would like to protect it from yellowing.

I'm just starting a sampler that will use a lot of linen thread. Any hints for ease of use, or quirks I should know about? Lucille

Went to the Quilt/Craft/Sew festival last weekend with a friend. Neither of us quilts or sews, but we did find a few things to buy. My friend reinterprets traditional quilt designs in crochet, and found lots of inspiration. The only stitchy stuff was from Bobbie G Designs. I bought and just...

I finally finished something (even if it is a small project): Olde Colonial Designs' Measuring Gift for Thee. Also, I got my band sampler back from the instructor today and was very pleased to hear what she said about my third lesson. :-) -- Bonnie

okay - a puzzler for the chemistry types among us. Years ago I had a plastic first aid kit in the truck. It doesn't fit in the car's glove box. But dang, it's the perfect size to hold "stuff" for a travel bag. Or just to store buttons/charms etc... EXCEPT - I can not get the printed label off....

Hi! I was cruising ebay and found a needlepoint pillow by Erica Wilson called "french flowers". The copy said it was based on a design in the MOMA's collection. The ebay listing is for a nearly completed needlepoint pillow. I really like the colors in this designs, it's the color scheme I am...

I would wrap the yarn around this ladder like form, each time crocheting the yarn together, wrap around again, crochet the yarn together, etc. When done, I would take the yarn off of the form. I...

A friend recently saw a picture in an English magazine advertising Marilyn Leavitt-Imblum's (or Lavendar & Lace) Celtic Summer and Celtic Autumn in different colors other than the ones designed by Marilyn. Number 1 - is this legal? I hope Marilyn knows about it. I wouldn't want it to be an...

After reading several posts, I have to butt in with several questions. Post 1: The thing I get from employers because of my history of cancer is "What if there's a relapse?" I'm not even going to mention it when I apply to become an EMT somewhere. I get asked a lot when interviewing "How old are...
