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

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...

I just got back from Target with DD. She printed out ten coupons for Target's Choxie bars (value: $2 each) and found nine bars to her liking (some of the flavors didn't excite her) and checked out with her coupons. $18 worth of chocolate for free. Here's where you can find the coupon: Just...

25 years ago my sister stitched up Jean McIntosh's "Large Tea Roses" http://www.jeanmcintosh.com/cat_items/m133.html for my mom. I do now know where she had it framed, and since she passed on shortly afterward, I'll never know. But this picture is backed (outside of frame) with some sort of brown...

It has been the first time that I haven't had to color eggs. Both kids are moved out and now I won't have tons of eggs to make egg salad sandwiches with. Carol In WI

This is in response to Tia Mary's disappointment about no stitching festivals. Just down the road from Atlanta is Callaway Gardens. Every January they host the Callaway Gardens School of Needlearts. I have been attending for ten years and have taken classes from Tony Minieri, Jane Zimmerman,...

I'm thinking of investing in a computer program for stash organisation. I have only found one on the internet: http://www.lns-software.com/needleworkers/index.html and it looks tempting. Anyone have this one or know of any others? Thanks, Amber (pansy pillow)

My Brownie troop is doing a post card exchange and we want to keep track of where we are getting post cards from on a map. I want to mount the maps on something that will make them sturdier and still allow me to roll them up. ( I have enough to carry! I want to be able to stick them in a tote with...

Guerilla knitters strike at the library in Kirkwall (Orkney, UK). https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xpa1/t1.0-9/10511367_10203801871343128_1762328010016703436_n.jpg -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney UK

How do people keep track of where they are in a pattern? For my cross stitch, I have lately been blowing up the graft and then highlighting as I go. I use a dry marker so that it won't bleed. Now I know that photocopy the graft is really against copy write, but most grafts are way too small in...

From: "Lucille" ..... spent 4 days in the hospital ... I'm ready to send the angel on to the next person ... I can't for the life of me remember who said they wanted to be next ... OH NO, Lucille! Hope you are doing better now! On my list, the next...

Can anyone tell me if framing is done the same way for all needlepoint? I am stitching a picture onto 32 ct. silk mesh and stitching with Eterna silk threads. Can this be safely 'stretched' and pinned like the work I do with D.M.C. cotton on Aida? I've worked so long on this one particular piece...

I am a counted thread embroiderer and have been thinking about signing up for the EGA Master Craftsman Program for counted thread embroidery for the last couple of years. I decided first to take one of their individual correspondence courses to see how difficult that was. I am in the middle...

Wonderful news Julie! I'll be sure to look for your pieces when I go. Congrats! A "pronto pup" is a MN State Fair staple- A.K.A. a corn dog.

Hi, I have been struggling with a printed canvas for some time. The shading is very difficult even in good light (naturla and Ott-Lite) with several very close colours. There is a key of sorts, where the design is in black and white and parentheses grouping up to 6 colours for a section of the...

Since we lurkers were asked what we were working on I decided to post Photos to RCTNP, if you log in and go to the photo album marked KeithB you can see them, comments are welcome.

The floss you sent has arrived. I especially love the blue color, it's so cheerful! I've been going through a rough patch lately, and the floss in the mail brightened my day. I will certainly pay forward the act of kindness when I get a chance. Cris
