Hi there, I have an incomplete Semco Embroidery from the early 1970's titled 'Australiana' Designs no.2 - Map. It is a map of Australia including emblems, animals, landmarks etc. I would love to complete this project as I have enough original thread and the colour chart but I am missing the...

Hey y'all from soggy northwest Florida, I'm looking for a site, a page, an anything that can get me in contact with Georgia O'Keefe paintings adapted for cross stitch. Any ideas? If so, please respond to my email. Thank you so much. Time to don my water wings. Lauren

While I'd love to try another new type of stitching, until life settles down again (or I hit my stride again), I can concentrate on cross stitching and a book, but learning something new will have to wait a bit. SO - I want ideas. I'd like to use a free chart from somewhere we can all access it....

There are three sets of numbers which I require to be reported. These are the number of stitches per inch you used and the number of threads in the needle; plus the amount of floss of each colour you used to do the cross stitching. I suggest you do all the cross stitching first, and measure how...

Went to the Quilt/Craft/Sew festival last weekend with a friend. Neither of us quilts or sews, but we did find a few things to buy. My friend reinterprets traditional quilt designs in crochet, and found lots of inspiration. The only stitchy stuff was from Bobbie G Designs. I bought and just...

I am cleaning my craft room and getting rid of stuff that I don't think I will ever get around to using....I have a HUGE lot of Plastic Canvas magazines for sale....all are $1.00 each and there are various plublishers....like Plastic Canvas Magazine...Quick and Easy Plastic Canvas....Plastic Canvas...

O.k.,I've just found a site for my latest ta-da moment (the moment I discovered 3D stitching). It's at http://www.sewinspiring.co.uk/acatalog/cross_stitch_kits_3_D_three_dimensional_cross_stitch_kits.html Too late for this year, but I can picture me stitching an entire 'Christmas Village' by...

Finished French Country Wedding Bells by JBW (I'm actually ahead of schedule on this gift!) NSLNS kitted it up with one 5-yard WDW. The names of bride and groom were not long names, and you know I'm extremely thrifty with my floss .... I finished with only about 6" (2 ply) to spare (14/28...

I cant believe the Walmart near us discontinued DMC and is getting Anchor. I wonder how much it will be. I love Anchor brand but cant get it within 30 miles. Donna D

Is it possible to substitute worsted knitting wool to finish the edges of a needlpoint which was made using 4 ply tapestry yarn? Thanks for replies. Karen

I've finally started the nativity on navy Aida. The fabric is cut and I am now griding the center panel. I am wondering if I should make any color changes because I'm using dark fabric? Any advise on this project would be appreciated. John

This is a long-shot -- but would anyone on this list know where I might obtain the June 1983 issue of Counted Thread Magazine? Many thanks

Have a good day wherever you are, with, I hope, at least of few of the things that will make you happy. I will be slogging through the snow to visit DD's cat, as DD is away, and so get to watch football at her place, since I don't have the channel, and, I hope, see the Saskatchewan Roughriders...

Happy thinking day to all Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Girl Scouts all over the world. Today we celebrate the joint birthday of Lord and Lady Baden-Powell the fou nders of the scout and guide movement. I'm a Brownie Guider at Stanmore Synagogue in N.W. London England and tomorrow we will have a...

Okay, All, can Nun's Stitch be done on the diagonal? I am doing a Xmas ornament and can do the vertical and horizontal. However, I would like to do a peaked top, with two rows of Nun's Stitch meeting at the top. The sides will be cut and the bottom will be fringed. Can the top be a peak and...

Okay gang - I'm pulsing this oh so unopinionated group - seriously, as I believe many of you have better or more experience than me, etc, blah, blah. Warning - this is long 'cause I feel compelled to give some background. So, our best friends have 4 kids, who are essentially like ours. ...

This post is less to self-promote and more to share that cross stitch got a mention in today's Boston Globe. Here's a link to the article online (not sure if it will expire after 24 or 48 hours...) http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2004/11/28/noel_noir?pg=full In short, there's an...

Okay. We need needlework posts to make the stupid one disappear. I'm game. What's your current project? Name one. I mean one. I know I've been guilty in the past of answering this question with multiples. But there should be one project that's on top of your stitching pile. What is it and why is...
