I made myself a deal - an hour of stitching time if I got the spice and tea cabinet cleaned out. While unloading, sorting and general dumping of stuff, I decide, those old glass spice bottles would be a great way to store beads or needles. Hey - when did I use food coloring last - 1988 - yikes -...

Hello, all, I will be visiting Charleston, SC in early March and wondered if anyone knows of a nice needlepoint joint worth checking out. Thanks for any reponses.

Cleaning out stash and found around 30 skeins of DMC flower thread in baggies. Don't remember when or why I got it. It is in good condition with only one skein looking like I used it. If anyone wants it, e-mail me and I will mail it to you. If I don't hear anyone wants it in a few days, out it...

I don't know about anyone else's Michael's, but at mine apparently SRE is losing favor. I saw their entire inventory marked down to 50 cents a skein - so all you fans of SRE may want to check your local Michael's and stock up! Linda in Columbia, MO

Hi ladies and gents! I know I have not been around much, but stitching has went on. Last Saturday I was in Aino's place again - and I just stitched away. I am happy about it. But it is not the whole story. The best is yet to come. Today I went to Lepistö Driving School. Raimo, my teacher, was...

My grandson`s just bought a Mac and I`m jealous. I LOVED them when I was working. My only worry is all the disks with stuff saved on them in Windows format - not to mention my (very expensive) design software and designs. Any experts out there to reassure me and tell me how to solve the...

I'd love to hear from you good folks regarding your various floor frame experiences, likes, and dislikes. I'm thinking about upgrading again, and while my current floor frame is adequate, I'd like to find something that can easily handle larger scroll frames and stretcher bars. Thanks for your...

What is the best rolling scroll frame that stays DRUM TIGHT?

I'm looking to go on a stitching retreat this year. Can anyone help me compile a list of retreats? So far I've found these: 1. Shakespeare's Peddler has a few this year. 2. Shepherd' Bush had one _last_ year. 3. Nordic Needle had one last year, also. 4. A company called A Stitchers Retreat...

I did a search for macrame fringe tonight and came across this site. It has a couple of historical examples of needlework done by sailors on the sailing ships, and I thought some of you might find it interesting too. http://www.caron-net.com/featurefiles/nautica.html Dora

Yippee!!! Now I have half of a quilt to do and my hubby's sweater. By the way, the yarn came-- Gatsby yarn by Classic Elite we spoke of a few weeks back, and it is well worth the extra money. It is nice. I wish I would have had a good view of the yarns and would have gone gray instead of brown...
