This was something I learned oh.... 20 years ago or so. I don't honestly remember much of it and would kind of like to maybe start it up again. I remember having a base fabric that was roughly similar to canvas, but much softer and more flexible than the stuff I see sold at the LNS for...

Hi, Anyone know the name of the company selling dyed fabric at the Riverside show last weekend? I thought it was something like Sweet Dreams, but I'm not sure. Hopefully they have a website. Thanks, Lori

www.bbcamericashop.com Search for item no. 12748. I'll put mine on the shelf next to the Zamboni bank. Darla Sacred cows make great hamburgers.

update - I finally got that color from them today - one whole strand - gee, cud they spare it? I managed to cover the areas by a. using 'cheap stitch' b. by scattering the color here and there, alternating with a close enough match, and c. by teaming up some of it with that close match (mixed...

Does anyone know where I can find a light gray color 14 to 18 count cloth? Or--can the white cloth be dyed to custom color like light gray?

I'm still most comfortable in familiar territory such as XS or needlepoint, but recently spotted a couple of cute hardanger kits at LNS , and they're now in stash waiting for me to do them. I'm nervous. :-) One problem is which one to do first. The candidates are Nordic Needle's emery cushion kit...

I just finished a drawn thread table mat and tried some Casalguidi bobbles on the corners. Do they ever look neat and unusual. The technique is to basically make many lengths of knotted thread and group them together to hang quite unevenly. I found that by washing the piece in the end, the bobbles,...

This was embedded in a funny email that was forwarded to me, and I can just picture it stitched into a sampler: THE SENILITY PRAYER Grant me the senility to forget the people I never liked anyway, the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference Can't...

it's that "most wonderful time of the year": back to school. And for some odd reason, it's really hitting me hard this year. I think it's a combination of back to school and the beginnings of "empty nest syndrome". DD goes off to college (she'll be in her junior year at the University of...

These are gorgeous! Saw them today!

Well.. it seems like someone has too much time on her hands. Perhaps if she cleaned her house or got a job, Karen would have better things to do with her time than harrass people across cyberspace. Or dare we hope that now that Seanette is in town, Karen will be too busy driving off another...

Hi just thought I would put this out there just in case there's a chance someone has a nice pattern. I am looking for a nice pattern of seahorse(s). I've searched the web high and low. I came up with one but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for because it was a freebee. Maybe if someone has...

To all: I am going on a business trip in September to Biloxi Mississippi, staying at the Beau Rivage. Is there any LNS' nearby? Thanks Sue in MD

Does anyone know of a GOOD place to order Eterna silk floss from? The operative word there is "good," as in stock and prompt. I've ordered it from Stitching Bits and Bobs because they have the full line there, but each time I've had to wait extra time because they're always out of stock. This...
