Just a short report on that hardanger piece I tried, with a few additional questions. I didn't make it to a store in time to get 32-count linen, so I did it on the 22-count Hardanger that was included with the kit. I am happy to say that the white on white, finer scissors, and fabric with fewer...

I went to the post office today and sent the Angel on to Heather in New York. I wasn't able to do as much as I would have liked (my 76-year-old mother had a seizure and was just discharged from the hospital), but she sure was nice to have a part in. Diane, I don't have a scanner, so either I can...

I know I've been under various types of stress lately, from health issues in my family and myself to getting ready for the holidays, to dealing with various unpleasant people in various places. Sounds about normal for most, right? So why is it that I can't seem to find one of my Xst projects that...

Hi everyone! You do not believe this. Dad left to Canarian Islands on November 9th. And when he came back on November 17th, you have no idea what he had with him. A camera for me! Oh yes. And not any kind of camera. The one I have....I can use it to take snapshots or something like that, aka...

DD is having a pacemaker implanted as I type DS will be in surgery this time tomorrow. I'm too scared to do much but noodle on the computer. Maybe I should try housework...C

I'm getting ready to start a large project that requires beading, which I want to do as I go along. At first I thought I would buy a set of Q-Snaps and try them out. My piece of fabric is 17"x24" - what size of Q-Snaps should I get? Can I get anything bigger than a 17"x17" which is the biggest I...

Hi all, I am new here and I spent some time reading through people's messages. You all sound so nice here. Nothing like some of the other groups around here who get all nasty and name-calling. Anyway, I go by the nickname Duckie. I love doing cross stitch and I have done that for just a few months...

OK -- one of my most favouritest Christmas carols is "Mary's Boy Child". But -- and this seems to be a BIG "but" (not at all related to MY butt which, by the way, IS big) -- anywhoo the BUT part is that I like the calypso version of the song. I know that Boney M and The Brothers Four recorded...

I posted a question about starting Hardanger, and got wonderful answers. The two most suggested books are on my Christmas wish list. And thanks to Julie Norton, a designer of hardanger, I got a kit for a perfectally beautiful teaching doily with a book , fabric etc. Now, just one more question...

I am taking a break from my doodle pad to ask for some help from you who also love forums, free forums. There is a crisis happening in alt.binaries.crafts.pictures where we swap machine embroidery files freely. Our very quiet nexus of the Internet has been invaded by a lady calling from...

Sorry to say, J&S Craft Stands are no longer being made. Their telephone and fax numbers have been assigned to other parties and mail sent to them is returned "No longer at this address". I have a J&S floor stand and would dearly love to have another (especially a folding model) to take along...

Hi all My DD called the other day with a list of Dimensions floss numbers she wanted converted to DMC. When I checked the lists I had, she had numbers that weren't on my lists. So I did another search and came up with a couple different lists, with different conversion #s. Sooooo, I redid the...
