I'm working on updating my checklists previously published on this news group) for the new June 2008 colors. So far, I haven't heard about the Weeks Dye Works but I have the following new colors if anyone wants to manually add to their printouts. (Anyone run across the weeks in their...

I just got back from Hershey CATS. I had a great time at classes (beading, crochet, lace making) and in the merchandise mart. It seemed like there were fewer vendors than last year - they seem to be downsizing. CATS sold off some of its magnifying lamps because it will have fewer classrooms in...

Teresa Wentzler has started a new needlework blog. Lovely small spring sampler on it (with link to buy the chart): http://twneedlework.wordpress.com/ -- Susan Hartman

Okay, folks, here's a question: When a chart grabs you and your fingers itch to do it, how much of your desire/impulse is driven by the finished product? For instance, when you see a chart you like, do you say, "But that won't match my decor" and therefore NOT do it? How often to you select...

I've been thinking of doing a piece for church and for our Minister. I could do the 23rd psalm, but would like to do something different, especially since I am going to try designing it myself. It has to be one of the shorter psalms since I don't want it to be too enormous. I love Psalm 121 (I...

There's an interesting discussion currently on the TWBB, in the General Stitching forum. You can follow the link to the BB on the TW website (www.twdesignworks.com) or go through EzBoard (www.ezboard.com) or try http://p203.ezboard.com/bteresawentzler. Anyway, the gist is that one of the Mira...

Some time ago I seem to remember someone in this group asking about a way of removing scorch marks from linen. In the back of my wife's favourite cookery book (published in 1927 by the Yorkshire Federation of Women's Institutes) are some handy, non-cookery hints. Some hints are still relevant...

I discovered yesterday that I'm running out of DMC black floss, which I need for the project I'm working on right this minute. Silly me, I figured no big deal. I'll just pick it up at Wal-Mart on my way out to dinner. Not one skein of black in the store. When I questioned how they could run...

Hi Jim Do you mind if I interject something here regarding floss usage? Each person stitches a different way! I for one prefer that the background be stitched as well, but there are also two ways of doing that. One way produces a thin background not in uniformity with the areas of color. The...

Ok, so what kinds of projects have you taken when you travel? I'm planning on taking a Floba Shoulder Bag and the pattern to stitch a Cat and maybe some beaded flowers or a dragonfly on it too. Can't make up my mind what to bead, but I must add beads! LOL Kim -- New! Wearable Stitching...

Hi I'm Judy from the UK. This is my first post to the group. I'm trying to obtain a Carolyn Meacham chart book called "Orientals". This features a 3 part wooden screen, which Serendipity also supply. Does anyone know whether there is a UK stockist of these ? Or failing that, a US mail order...

Hi, I'm French, and I love cross stitching. I have made several patterns for a year, and I'm now looking to share some envelopes with people abroad. You can visit my web site at http://nicopod.free.fr to see what I've stitched, the page is called "point de croix". I've just finished another...

Does anyone know of any good shops (needlepoint or general needlework) in the Myrtle Beach area? I'm going there on vacation in a few weeks and would like to plan a little S.E.X. Thanks, India
