I don't know where my mind is tonight, which I guess is usual. G The April issue of The Cross Stitcher has a project to make a clock. It's not a real clock, just a cross stitched front with cloth sides and back stuffed with fiberfill. I was reading the instructions and came to "Couch down...

Mirjam, I've seen a few antique Hebrew samplers embroidered completely in text, unlike the more pictorial antique school girl needlework memorial samplers and mourning pictures. Stitched memorial pieces have a long tradition as you've noted in many cultures. In the USA, we have the well known...

Yesterday AM, I woke to find my ISP down. OK - drink tea to sounds of morning news and otherwise push everyone out the door for the day.( After nearly two weeks of someone being sick, I really needed my peace yesterday - I am truly frazzled.) So, I grabbed the folding I'd normally do while watching...

Hello everyone, I'm new to working counted thread embroidery and have been reading voraciously since I became interested in the craft a few months ago. I started seeing references to working without hoops or frames, and became curious. I grew up doing a lot of crewel work and always worked with...

In a few days, I will begin stitching "And They Sinned". It uses almost 30 Gentle Arts Sampler Threads. I have never used them before and I want to ensure that they will not bleed if I have to launder the piece after I have stitched it. Any ideas or suggestions? I have asked my stitching...

Okay here goes... I'm asking a question of which I have no knowledge of. It is in regards to knitting. As some of you might be aware I have a yahoo group for Male Stitchers and one of our Knitting Male Stitchers came up with a question that no one can really help him on. He's looking for...

I know that DMC has stopped selling the Coton a Broder thread to U.S. distributors, and I'm on the prowl for an alternative source -- in the U.K., NZ, Australia, or wheverever else I could do business.

I may have missed a post, but I suddenly noticed there haven't been any messages from Fred in a long time. Is everything okay? Candy

I just wanted to let you know that your email seems to have been spoofed. I realize these messages usually don't originate with the name in the address, but i thought you might want a head's up to check your system anyway. Sorry for the OT folks. Anita, in very cold, icy Alaska
