I'm looking for a cross stitch design I remembering seeing in a catelog in the last year or so. I was a teddy bear with socks and it said "Happiness is a matching pair of socks!" If anyone can identify the designer and where I can purchase either the chart or the kit, I would be very grateful. I...

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...

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.

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...

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'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

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...

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

I'll start with the on-topic bits. #1 - the travel project I brought (Welcome to My Garden) was prefect for traveling. Stitching on tula was a joy and the combination of medci wool perle cotton was easy to stitch. It was also great because I rarely had great light and the large holes and bright...

I, along with many others, I'm sure, have been following the story of the "Fire House Angel". I haven't seen any posts lately about her. How is she coming along. Has anyone posted updated pics? I am so proud of rctn and all you have done to show support for our heros. Keep up the good work. FSU...

Just to let you all know (and thanks to EVERYONE for the prayers) ... William John Blake, II finally "touched down" at 12:23 p.m. this afternoon, and weighed in at 7lbs 3 oz and is 19 inches long. Looks just like his Mommy and has the CUTEST little dimple!! Mother, Father and Baby are doing well,...

I thought you might like to know what 'The Ashes' are! The origins of cricket's oldest international contest go back to 1882, when the third Australian team to tour England achieved the unthinkable. Until then, the English had never been beaten on home soil, but Australia, led by by WL Murdoch,...

Rugs were made as well, though the fact that they exist in good to excellent condition shows that they were NOT to be walked on, but admired, at least from the edges! I found this while researching this morning on white-works.com and I surely do agree and also the rest of you who have worked on...

I see the morons have taken over the group once again. I was so interested in hearing what everyone was working on, now that subject has disappeared. C'mon back. Sharon ( N.B.)

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
