I am doing a bunch of Mill Hill kits right now, in between my Chatelaine, and I am having a dickens of a time cutting them out neatly. Send me to remedial kindergarden! But seriously, every pair of scissors I try either won't cut to the end of the blades or tends to crush the paper, rather than...

Somebody gave me a bag with some `old embroidered parts` , to Do what i want with , they were verry dirt thus i soaked them in mild water with hair shmpoo , than when they dried i carefully separated the goos parts of the old , and soon i will incoporate them into my own work, kining them with...

Yesterday sure looked like it would a relatively peaceful day at 8:30 AM. Housework, GS prep and end of year paperwork, maybe a little stitching time before I go pick up DS and take him to get his new glasses. (he stepped on them last week.) DD is going over to the neighbor's to play with...

Does anyone know of any cross stitch only news groups they can tell me of? I'm new to this news group thing, and still finding my feet. Thanks in advance for any help. Gail

Personally I grid exactly according to the chart, and if you need to mark the centre mark it seperately with a large cross. I never start at the centre myself, but I know a lot of people do. Pat P "Linda F" wrote in message news:z4Csg.830326$084.568562@attbi_s22... ...

Hi--I have noticed that when I click onto rctn I am only getting 7--15 posts a day--surely there are more than that! In options I have checked download 400--it was 300, but I notice no difference. What can I do to get more? Should I clear the previous messages and would that make a difference?...

It's nice to see another new design by Emie Bishop! http://emiebishopdesigns.com/designs/L141.html I like her use of hardanger in her designs. Has anyone stitched Sunshine and Flowers? It looks challenging but the booklet appears to be very well written with detailed stitch illustrations and...

I got this from Cheryl a little while ago.... Would you do me a favor - my mainframe died in last night's power outage AND I managed to get an infection in my hand via a wasp sting. Would you post a note to rctn and let them know I am alive but unable to post. My hand is ready for another dose of...

I've semi-abandoned my UFO/WIP - an old Serendipity piece. Too pink right now. I've got two "purse" projects going while I search out some Kreinik VFB that I need for the next leg of a round robin I'm working on. What ever other metallic that will work ---

All right, you're all really getting on my nerves. Would you please tell me how asking if there's anything special I should do to prevent food stains translates into "treating embroidery as if it will disintigrate with the first puff of air"???? All I was asking for was a little advice, not...

When is your next book coming out? I've had several customers ask in the last few days about it -- Thanks Linda A Stitcher's Paradise Prattville, AL

I was in Nova Scotia on vacation just recently and I didn't notice a dramatic increase in gas prices. I spoke with my grandmother about it and she said that it has always been high in the city that they live in. However, here in Ottawa, the ESSO station that is close to my house has always had the...

I'm designing a wedding sampler in ndlpt. It will read Carolyn and Bob 6 -12 - 2011 (centered of course) I'd like to make the 'and' in smaller, different style letters, but

Rainbow Gallery makes rainbow linen 10% linen floss in a rainbow of colors. So we have plenty of linen floss and colors to choose. We don't have to wait and see what DMC does. I found it at The Noble Craftsman. I finally got there after years of wanting to. Its on the other side of Pittsburgh and I...

DS's hockey team won states yesterday and is headed to Nationals in the spring Cheryl

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...

Thanks to everyone on here who pointed out (long ago) the hot buys and free kits on http://www.janlynn.com . My order arrived today--YIPPEE! TW's "Noah's Ark Sampler" for $9 (!) plus the Marty Bell (MSRIP) adaptation "Wishing Well Garden" and "St. Frances" by Marie Barber. My bonus was the...

Just a quick note to let everyone know that the Firehouse Angel is safely in my hot little hands. I honestly wasn't expecting for her to arrive until Wednesday at the earliest! And gee, how kind of Jan and Felice to get me situated to attack the purple cape snicker - i LOVE purples

Oh my!!! I had to wait to finish a baby afghan with Tigger on it. Baby Leah, my new nice, arrived on 07-19-2003 ( 1 month early). Now, all I have to do is put the backing on it (keep little fingers out of threads). -- Angel My family are the golden threads running through the tapestry of my ...
