I'm really sorry about the Heron but the good news is that it's the end of the 8th inning and the Marlins are up 2. If you can't enjoy the Florida Blue Heron, at least you can enjoy the Florida fish. Lucille "animaux" wrote in...

Hi, I've never posted to this group before but found it while searching for part of a pattern that I've lost. I had the entire Jean Farish America, Land That We Love pattern saved for some time and decided recently to stitch it and found that I've lost a couple parts of it, I had some work done to...

I needed to call the CATS folks to correct the address they had for us and inquired about their website. They apparently are doing some updating and it may be a bit inaccessible for a time but they indeed are still around. It is my understanding that there will be some changes in teachers...

Anyone know where to buy a good hand made Raggedy Ann doll ?

I thought the following quote might interest a great many of you. This was excerpted from a good friend's web page http://hollisandbell.com "In olden days, the great occupation of women's life was needlework. Many are the pictures we have of ladies and their maidens at work on the tapestry...

I'm sorry to say that I don't remember who thought they'd heard that Needle Buffs had closed, but I'm happy to say it hasn't! I had to go pick up a picture that I'd had framed at Hobby Lobby right behind them, so I figured I'd cruse the parking lot at least to see if the store was still there. It...

come to one of these events....spread the word... -------------------------------------------------- Women from the Jolom Mayatik Weaving Collective in Chiapas, Mexico will speak about their work and present their wares (all events are free, donations gladly accepted) Washington DC Tour...

After organizing (more or less) my magazines and patterns, I am now moving on to how to store fibers, frills and fabrics. I plan on using ArtBin's plastic storage containers for fibers (saw it on Shay Pendray's show and checked with the company and it is OK for fibers), along with the plastic...

I live on the north side of San Diego, where all the fires have been burning. Luckily, our neighborhood was bypassed. We feel really fortunate. Our current problem is the air quality. I was wondering if anyone knows what should be done with needlework (wips and the pieces as yet unframed) to...

Does anyone know what's happened to the CATS website. I was looking for it this morning and found that the old website is still up but the 'redirect' button (to www.stitchingfestival.com) now sends you to one of those "This website is available" places. Did they finally go belly up? Mr. Cole's...

I have Earthdancer as well, and I will stitch it eventually to go with Spiritdancer, which is, in my opinion, the most beautiful of all MLI designs. Victoria I also stitched Spirit Dancer (#3 stitching) for me. I did her on Star Sapphire linen, I think. The pale green of the material...

It is on their website - so it must be in a bookstore near me.......... http://www.countrybumpkin.com.au/cgi-bin/shop/bumpkin.cgi?page=magparent.html I'm off in search of it tomorrow, and will share all the lovelies with you as soon as I find out what's in store. Joanne @ Perth

Greetings from NH where we don't know if it fall or late summer! Part 1: Thanks to every one that had suggestions from removing some machine stitching; it went fairly easily. I slid a laying tool between the fleece and the stabilizer; then the threads were lifted just enough to snip way. After a...

Hi everyone. I'm a new poster but I have been lurking for a little while and have found some really useful stuff so far - thank you all :) I was wondering if any of you have used the DMC Stitch-a-Photo and if so how did it turn out? I have heard some great reviews of so far but I wanted a wider...

Let's get in touch.

As I promised last week, I posted a scan of the needlecase I just finished. I started an album in the yahoo group, called "Sue's photos". The needlecase was a project from the January (I think) Piecework, but I thought their design was pretty boring...a simple abstract butterfly done in plain DMC...

I hope someone can help me. I'm looking for a knit stitch that I saw in one of Monica Ferris' needlework mystery books. I started a scarf for my daughter using this stitch on a small part of it and I'm ready for it again on the other end of the scarf and can't for the life of me remember how to...

Hi everyone, It seems like it's been awhile since we talked about what type of needlework we do. We seem to be spending more time talking about parenting or whatever than needlework. so I'll start the ball rolling... I started off with sewing, then got into needlepoint, and 30 yrs. ago started...
