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

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...

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!"

Can somebody please tell me what the newest version of the DMC color card is? How many colors does it have and when did it come out? I checked DMC-USA.com today, but the information that was with the color card didn't seem right. I'm pretty sure that there are 454 solid colors now...but I'm...

I'm looking for cotton stuffing for pincushions, etc. I know I can use fibrefil but I'd like to use some all-natural stuff. The cotton batting from the quilt store just isn't what I'm looking for... does anyone know of a source on this side of the ocean? I see it sold on websites in England...

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...

You may remember a few months back that I mentioned a horrible accident where three 18 year old boys died in a car accident ten days after they graduated from hight school. Since one of the boys used to come into the library regularly with his mom & three brothers, I wanted to stitch something to...

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 ---

Anyone tried this? My daughter, Jane, discovered it at the Suffolk Agricultural show and has started it - it looks like fun and the results are very good. She`s making a belt at the moment, but wants to make a rug - presumably by sewing the strips together. It seems like the sort of thing that...

I need an idea for a little gift for a Doctor. I'm making a bookmark for his Nurse Practitioner and now I'm trying to find something for him. A bookmark would be nice because I know he reads a lot, but I don't want it to be the usual caduceus. I did a little looking but most of what I saw is...
