I was told this would be a good place to post this request by a lady on a needlework ezboard. I believe they said TIA had one. I am looking for a good used sit on frame or lap frame to purchase. I will be happy to pay shipping as well. Please email me. Carlena

Hi again.. I have a question.. Does anyone in here knit that is blind or is vissually impaired?? I recall that someone told me when I joined, that there is someone that is blind.. Well, I am trying to find a place that will do my patterns in braille. I sent some paterns to the Braille Institute.....

it's that "most wonderful time of the year": back to school. And for some odd reason, it's really hitting me hard this year. I think it's a combination of back to school and the beginnings of "empty nest syndrome". DD goes off to college (she'll be in her junior year at the University of...

I just joined your group tonight because we are looking for a pattern of a honey bee made with silk ribbon embroidery. This will go on a quilt that will be in a charity auction for Heifer Project International. Any help will be much appreciated. Virginia

Even though my ANG Seminar classes are still three months away, I was looking at the requirements list and thinking about getting stuff ready (I'm excited, okay?). The fabric required is 18ct evenweave. Aside from Davosa, can anyone tell me any other choices? Also, is a neutral colour available in...

On topic only because of where I worked. I quit - due mostly to some issues with schedules and lack of notice of changes to said same. The store manager said this is the first time some one ever gave him notice of more than a few hours and he's hire me back any day. Cheryl

I was going to wait until Monday, but I have so many irons in the fire going at once, that I focused on this to get it off my plate so I could quit worrying. A new e-zine is born. You can view the first issue at: http://www.embroider-now.com I have to tell you, there's been so many generous...

Just dropping a line to say hello, again - after a couple of weeks away from RCTN. I know Tia Mary would've loved this - I went to Nashville for the AQS show. Hotel was HUGE - the Gaylord Opryland - with restaurants, food court, all kinds of shopping, and fabulous gardens. All under acres of atrium...

Yikes - evidently some escaped prisoner got onto campus, shot someone on the 4th floor of a primarily freshaman, large dorm. Then moved on to a main Engineering Building - with horrid consequences. As of now, they're saying that 21 VT students are dead, 21 wounded, and the gunman dead as well. ...

Hubbie & I are contemplating a trip stateside next year and are keen to do a bit of touring in a motor home. I looked on the internet and found "Cruise America" - anyone had any experience with them or can suggest a similar company? We were thinking of flying to New York, staying a couple of...

Well, folks, I guess turning 55 isn't so bad. I had a great birthday yesterday. A month or so ago, my LNS The Sampler, announced they would be having a special 20th anniversary stitching workshop on September 20. The day long workshop featured a couple of my favourite designers, and I jumped at...

Oli taas härski vedätys ydinalaltamme. Eli ei antanut Kalli julkisuuteen edes sitä laajasti tunnettua faktaa, että hänen mm. 60v juhlat järjesti, kas kummaa TVO! Olisi toimittajilta kyllä ollut minimi vaatia edes näin räikeää faktaa esille. Mutta kuten olemme saaneet tottua ydinhallinnon...

I've scanned through retail version of the needlework show and some a few new to me things and designers. I know this will appeal to some on in this group (Oh Linda) http://needleshowretail.com/cgi-bin/retailpage.pl?653

Can anyone recommend some good needlepoint shops to visit while I am in England?

But I can receive it.... SO Joan - the box arrived and the chocolates are tasty! Elizabeth C - I'll find out what I can.... Everyone else - thanks, I need those hugs! I'll call Ellice or Elizabeth C when I know what's what.

I don't know what happened, after years of ignoring the suckers, suddenly I own two sampler charts and am about a 1/4 of the way thru my first sampler. Two weeks ago I bought Quaker Sampler by Workbasket, and even got the Sampler Threads it called for. Hiding cost of those fibers from Dude, as he...

I adore over-dyed and hand dyed floss so I was thrilled to find a new batch. I bought the whole range of Seaside Treasures Floss and they are lovely plus they were good people to do business with. The posting to the UK was very quick and I can't wait to start using them. I already have almost all...

Anyone know of a 25th anniversary kit or chart that you would recommend? aeromom
