I'm getting bogged down and not enjoying the needlepoint much lately. I'm resolved now to do 30 minutes a day, no more, no less and I'm hoping this plan will get projects to completion sooner.

I am thinking about working her "Snowy River Quilts" and would like to work over one on 20 or 25 count. Now the question...does she have a lot of 1/2 and 1/4 stitches? I checked the Linda Myers I have hanging in my kitchen -- a total of eight half-stitches, and it's a huge piece and would...

Hi group. I hope that some of you might be from Toronto ?Canada. My sister, years ago embroidered an lovely butterfly and had it framed behind non glare glass.

Hi Guys, Well, my class schedule arrived today and I am already heart broken!! There are 2 classes on 2 days that I want to take that are offered at the same time :*-{ . I was hoping not to be put in this dilemma this year. I have been stitching for so many years that I very rarely take what I...

Since I'm about to assume newsletter editor duties for the Knoxville chapter of the EGA, I was handed a printout of cross stitch pattern that we'd like to include in a newsletter for members to use for the ornaments we make each year for a tree that is auctioned off to benefit the local childrens'...
