The other day I was just coming out of a local used bookstore where I had just purchased some needleworking books and walked past the 'vintage' used clothing store down the street. I happened to notice in the window a box of embroidery threads and just had to ask if it was for display or for sale....

Hey all, my name's Suzane, and I'm new to the group. (After that greeting, I can't help thinking of school days when the teacher comes in and says, "Hello, everyone, my name is Mrs. Smith," and all the students reply in ragged unison, "Hello, Mrs. Smith." haha) Although I may be new to this...

It's done in Waterlilies and Splendor along with some #8 Perle Cotton....are you all "sure" that it's OK to use this stuff...I don't want to...

Many years ago -- don't ask how many -- I started a cross stitch chart that had the most adorable bunny rabbits in it. I *think* that it came from one of the many cross stitch magazines. The bunnies are all sitting next to each other, and my fuzzy recollection was that it was mostly just the...

Hi Gang - Just wanted to let you know that I received my silk from Kreinik yesterday. Yummy! I bought the Soie Gobelin, Platte, and Perle sets. I checked the site, and they had added a few more things - needles, and of all things, silk batting! I've never heard of it, but that isn't saying a...

I'm addicted to chocolate and hate Miracle Whip. I prefer live Christmas trees, but so do my cats (they think of them as their own personal...
