I have a question about Aida cloth. I bought a small kit to do while I acted as an election judge back in March. It was on 10 count Aida. It had an I Love the USA theme. I loved it; it was easy on my eyes and very easy to do. Now this question has come up. When I went back to a project on 14 count....

Hi, Does anyone know whether there are Anchor tapestry wool colours that I can use instead of Paterna 691 and 941? Thanks, Miss G.

So Who's going to be watching and what will you be watching? I'll watch the track and field and the swimming especially Jenny Thomas, a local girl! Cheryl

Every once and awhile I abandon needlework for a long period of time then come back to it. After a hiatus of about a year (when I concentrated on quilting), I returned to my first love. To "celebrate" I purchased a needlework inventory program and entered in all my leaflets and books along with...

Is there a good book on the modern history of needlework? In a book I'm outlining, I need a throw or coverlet from the late fifties/early sixties stitched with a pattern of Lake Minnetonka. What form might this have taken at that time? How might it be dated? (I mean in, say color or kind of...

Well, the start of the Fair season is upon us. Seems like my county is always the first one to have a fair! I entered 4 stitched pieces. The results are as follows: SAL counted canvas work (pink/blue/yellow version) : 1st Knitted baby blanket: 1st Knitted baby booties: 1st Knitted baby hat: ...

Does anyone have a good resource for ordering wall frames when you need an unusual size? I have two odd sized finished cross stitch projects and can't get the sizes I want in my local stores. Any ideas? I've googled around a bit and haven't had any luck. Naturally I don't want to pay a...

Social Security Franklin Roosevelt, a Democrat, introduced the Social Security (FICA) Program. He promised: 1.) That participation in the Program would be completely voluntary, 2.) That the participants would only have to pay 1% of the first $1,400 of their annual incomes into the Program,

Hi! I am new to this list. I recently started doing crewel embroidery and have discovered it to be a "crewel addiction" :-). I did a search and read some past posts on crewel embroidery - for now I have been learning the ropes with some "vintage" Erica Wilson and Elsa Williams kits which I got...

Will this cover fabric like DMC floss? Wondering if I can needle paint with it. Anywhere to buy a kit of all of them?

I wish I were a programer or knew someone who was. I just took a piece in to get an estimate on framing. It is going to be close to $120. That is probably the most I have ever spent to frame anything and almost half of that is in labor for designing the layout to cut the mat. I am...

Well, I spent a little bit of time stitching yesterday, but mostly I spent the day in the garden getting ready for about 4-5 yards of mulch. Which I'll have delivered. The big bed is approximately 100 feet long and varies from 10 to 20 feet wide with paths intersecting it in a number of spots. I...

Let me start by saying that I don't mean to suggest that everyone here is old, however, I'm hoping that some of our older members (or even someone in the field) can help me understand the terminology that my Mom just tossed at me tonight. It seems she finally broke down and took herself to the...

besides gloating, whining, or getting your knickers in knots, are you doing any stitching? I'm working on a Smithsonian Institution crewel pillow kit by Mazaltov's. Instead of filling some of the flower centers with knots, I'm trying to use my newly acquired knowledge of caging cabochons with...

How do they do it? Yesterday I was with DD at an audition (college admission related). Knowing that I'd be sitting around awhile, of course I brought a little project, and the waiting time maybe didn't quite fly, but at least wasn't painful to me. But I was amazed at how many people just...

Well, I'm done with all the online stuff of the morning. As soon as I with letter requesting help at old home days for the hockey booster club, I going to get some serious work done one the letter I for Margaret's project. Than the returns and a BJ's trip and maybe a little back to school...

I just found this post. I'm so glad to hear the SOX Festivals have come back. Is there a link where I can enter my info to get notified when events are coming up for 2018 festivals?
