Hi everyone. I'm a constant lurker on the group. I know this project has been discussed before and may be considered "old news" but... I bought it at CATS a couple of years ago. I've decided I might want to actually have a go at attempting it. However....I have little to no experienced with...

Hey all, sorry for the late notice, but, I'm a slacker. Sue H., whose been offline for a couple of days (away) pinged me to maybe post something about our "RCTN" outing tomorrow, Friday, 12/29. So here it is. Some of us local types are hooking up at the Stitching Post in Catonsville, MD for some...

I was time-wastin' for a few minutes today and stumbled over this wonderful old sampler. Check out the third photo down on the right-hand side of the page: http://www.shakespearespeddler.com/ By a NINE year old! And it looks like the lettering is over one. sue

I am using DMC perle throughout. I used a slightly off white evenweave - the colors are standing out beautifully, including the white perle. Linda

My sulky white ink transfer pen is in the garbage! I carefully followed directions to get the ink flowing and the little ball on the tip just won't move sigh Also, I think the ink might be all dried up. Naturally, I think there's a design flaw in the pen, not the fact that it's been in a...

I swear this piece is jinxed! Several years ago, a friend asked me to stitch a kit for her. Right about that time, I went into relapse. To get it to her quickly, I asked someone else to stitch it. After some major frogging, it was done and mailed, but never received. When I started feeling a...

Hi everyone, I've recently subscribed to this newsgroup (my very first) and have been enjoying all the posts. I'm an absolute 'newby', so please be gentle with me ;o) When I do any kind of needlework, something in my system (yes, I'm a bit acerbic :) eats the finish off my needle very quickly,...

I went out with a couple of friends this morning to a Big Lots and found a really nice bargain. A 5" x 5" rather ornate pewter frame. Now I must have something to put in it. After all, I wouldn't want the poor little frame to stay empty, would I? What wonderful ideas do you have for me for...

Hello Ladies, Some of the cross stitch kits I've purchase recommend washing your finished product before framing. Why does it need to be washed? What is the benefit for or against washing. I understand why you'd pre-wash darker threads before use, but I need some help understanding why you'd...

I need the chart for the cherries picture. Longaberger sold the four fruit picture cross stitch kits at the Homestead. They are now retired and I didn't get the chance to get the cherries kit. All I really need is the chart and I would be happy to pay for using it and send it back to you.

Many years ago, I purchased several baseball style caps that had a front panel of cross stitch material. Does anyone have one (or more) these (unstitched) they would like to sell or know of a supplier for such items. I've searched the internet till my fingers are sore, but can't find them...
