Last spring I posted about this. It was a huge success. So many applicants had to be turned away. Those who took the class begged for more. So, they're doing it again in September. Here's the information. For those who live in this area, or are planning to visit, this is a don't miss: Thanks...

Hello to the group, It's been several weeks since I made a post and just thought it was time. I don't know about the group but it seems that I'm always looking for items for my stitching. Not to long ago I read a post about a shop that had just about any type of needlework, well they were right....

Disclaimer over, on http://www.kjcraftworks.com/KJNeedlework/ Kathleen's got a nice little pattern with a magic wand with the caption "Sorry my magic wand is in the shop". I'm debating whether or not to Liz - Darn.. I can't get that site to work! And that sounds like something I'd really...

Thanks. My stitching always has threads on the back and never specialty stitches. If a TW castle wins 3rd its tough. I enter every couple of years. I just cant stitch as fast as some. 4th is as good as I usually get. I am surprised about the 3rd place that category had more competition in...

Hi all! I came across you accidentally, but I am so glad! I'm Monica and an avid cross-stitcher. I'm teaching myself how to quilt and plan to take knitting lessons once my kids go back to school! Originally from the Detroit area, I know live in the Chicago area!! Monica

I want to get a Maneki-Neko noren and can't find one the right size. The ones I find online are a single panel (about...

I have a new computer. The old one finally gave up, rolled over and is now in well-used and loved computer heaven. I have an eMac with OS10 and can not believe the number of postings I have. I fussed about a lack of them a couple of times....not any more!!!!! When I struggle to do something...

You're right. This one is stunning and the colors are my favorites. I think I need it too!!! Wouldn't it be a perfect way to do just a little hardanger, which is something I've been meaning to try for a long time. Lucille "Joan Erickson" wrote in...

Hi all, If anyone would know, it would have to be someone on RCTN :-) My great (grand?) aunt passed away at the beginning of August. I brought home her needlework stash and faithfully aired the six pieces out as she was a heavy smoker. I only had time to scan one in tonight, but there will be...

Hi Victoria - I might be interested. Please email me with details and what you might like in rteurn. Cheryl M

Just getting a final headcount...how many of you will be meeting us at Stitchery Row on Saturday, August 23rd? -- Dannielle from NY http://www.beitzell.com/dannielle/index.htm

I'd love to see your book Victoria. Deborah I have several books which are very old. One of them is from 1938 and it titled "American Needlework: The History of Decorative Stitchery and Embroidery from the late 16th to the 20th Century" This book is Dedicated to All Women Who Love Beauty.

So sorry to hear about your DS. I am sure he will be alright, just make sure to keep the burns clean and covered. I can sympathize. My DS burned his hands at Grandmas house when he was about a year. He grabbed onto a propane space heater. He had 2nd degrees on his hands, it was hard because he...

Jacquard_The_Ripper opined thusly: Hi the I have a 16" scroll frame and an upcoming project that's 16.5 W X 9 L. Can I put it in the frame sideways with the sides rolled up instead of the top and bottom and just hold the frame sideways to work? Or do I need a larger scroll...

Hi all, I scanned in the last 5 pieces tonight: http://www.ns-stables.com/needle/previews.asp?id=10 I only need IDs on four of them :-) Best, Christine

Is anyone else dismayed by the lack of needlework related posts? I know there is a certain ebb and flow to newsgroups, but when is the tide going to come back in, so to speak?
