As I have mentioned before, I am working on The Nativity by Heaven & Earth. It's a project that is done with two threads over one, and it is LARGE. The fabric I am using is 25 count Lugana. Since I will be going to my local needlework shop tomorrow, I thought I would ask advice today and hope...

question for those who've done Tribute to Old Masters by
[email protected]
Hi everybody--
I've just purchased the chart for Tribute to the Old Masters by Nouveau Encore Designs. The finished size on 32-ct fabric is 27 x 27, which means that the fabric size should be about 33 x 33. Clearly, that won't fit on my Artisan Designs needlework frame--or any other frame I've...

Question about scroll frames by
Danny Breidenbach
Hi --
I generally use Q-Snaps to hold my work, and I'd had no major problems. I have a question about scrolls, though. Do the scrolls hold one's work taut enough all the way around to allow for easy stitching? That's one really nice thing about Q-Snaps: if the piece gets a little loose, one simply...

Went to the Quilt/Craft/Sew festival last weekend with a friend.

click button on ott light by
Martha[_7_]
I have a desk lamp from Ott light. Model #pl9768. The click button to turn it
on kept sticking and last night it completely stopped. I took apart the base
and looked inside. It looks like an easy fix, but I can't figure out how to
get the click button working again. It just looks like the pieces...

Eyes -- an update by
Danny Breidenbach
I got my fancy new "old man" glasses two days ago. Progressive lenses. Fancier than no-line bifocals, but they follow the same idea. So far so good on general usage about town, although I just generally feel more aware of my glasses than usual. The best I can describe it is as having sort of a...

Eyes by
Danny Breidenbach
At the ripe young age of 46, my eyesight is getting problematic. Hard to see the small stuff. If I take off my glasses, I can hold my work real close and see the holes BETTER than with my glasses; however, holding anything that close makes my eyes start to cross. My astigmatism just makes it...

Graph paper program by
virginia grace
I once had a very small program to make graph paper of any size...all you had to tell it was how many blocks per inch, or cm.
I can't find them anymore. I believe the company was named *something*soft?
anyone know if they're still around?
Thanks!

We had a wonderful day, with friends and family calling in.
We had flowers and lots of cards.
The special highlight was a special delivery from Her Majesty Queen
Elizabeth of a card wishing us well on our special day.
The buffet went well and guests enjoyed themselves.
