Those look cozy! Cheryl

Hi all, I'm looking for a Leisure Arts kit of Ariel the Mermaid called "Sea Treasure". This was originally released as a kit by Leisure Arts & is no longer available. I'm trying to find anyone who might have this, who might be interested in a pattern trade or such. I really don't need the "kit",...

Hi all.Stitcher from GA here! Been cross stitching for about 15 yrs. Had to put it away for awhile but will be starting on a new project soon. I am recently married to a big comic book fan and I found a Superman pattern . I hope to have it done by christmas or at least close. Hope you all don't...

A cyberfriend in Australia sent me an interesting needlework kit - inspired from Kogin embroidery. I treasure it: the interesting fabric and threads. I already started working on it. Now, for the good part: When I saw the envelope in the mail, it had a large band of green adhesive tape across...

I'm going to a teacher's conference in Hershey PA this Wed-Fri., (5th-7th). Traveling from New York City by car on I-78 west to I-81 south to Route 422 east to Hershey (at least that's what the directions tell me to do!)so I can stop along the way for "rest" breaks perhaps at a LNS I wouldn't get...

I have a bunch of pieces of linen from various brands of Danish stitchery kits--at least a dozen, different counts between 28 and 35. Also a couple of chunks of white Aida (16 count, picture size) (and 14 count,yardage). I am asking $30 for the lot, including shipping to anywhere in the US (but...

There is a posting, not the first, about how you can get total strangers to send you cash. To get the $5 you post $250 into your paypal account...The last posting just asked for the $$$ and claimed it was a "service". So don't forget the other side of "service": you become self-employed and the...

Is there anywhere on line that gives charts of alphabets? OK, so I`m lazy! LOL! Pat P Do not worry about tomorrow`s troubles. Today has enough troubles of it`s own.

I now need an aran knit cardigan pattern for a man . I finally was able to find the oiled wool today and now can start this xmas present if someone can find me a pattern. Does no one knit any more? No knitting shops or hardly any yarn out there today which really shocked me.

The only reason I'm being cautious here is that dirt on cloth or threads, when ironed, will often be "set". So, if you're not going to wash, and you plan on misting or using a damp press cloth of sorts, make sure your piece is free of any grime. Dianne

Hi Guys, OK -- I got the niece hooked on SRE and she has completed her first piece and is chomping at the bit to do more. Does anyone know of any sites that offer free SRE designs that she can print off? I told her that she can simply trace the line drawings from any of the SRE books I sent her...

Avid Sampler-maker visiting London in winter. Please recommend shops in central area and don't-miss museum collections to visit.

Who can recommend London shops for cross-stitchers? Have no particular needs, but am avid sampler-maker and don't like to travel w/o stopping in at needlework shops along the way. TIA

I'm looking for a cute baby cross stitch pattern which I can do for a coworker of mine who is pregnant. I did a google search for free baby patterns and found a few that were quite adorable. The problem is most of them have some type of religious theme.... angels, noahs arc, childs prayer etc. I'm...

I saw this on the goldfish newsgroup! and thank you Gunther! is it for real - I have no clue! Cheryl (paste!) I'm heartened to see that folks like this still exist, and are driven to answer Life's Great Mysteries. http://www.zoology.ubc.ca/~bwilson/herring.html

I took a Hardanger class during October, and the instructor sent us off with a coaster design and the suggestion that we start on a project quickly. So for a change, I listened and on Saturday I started on a coaster. I haven't decided if I'm passionate about it. I find it easy and haven't decided...

Can someone give me a good, reliable, online source for black 28 count linen or evenweave fabric? One that accepts U.S. funds and doesn't charge the earth in Shipping charges? TIA SueS
