I wonder why there have been no new needlepoint books out by these folks over in the UK for so long? Hugh Ehrman has not had a new one in ages. Elizabeth Bradley for ages. Bahouth for ages. Beth Russell for ages. Why do you suppose?

Our local Sampler Guild is having a gift exchange next month. We were instructed to stitch a "small", using a carnation motif. I decided to make a scissor fob. Both sides are stitched and I have cording to use, as well. Does anyone know where I can find clear, simple instruction for putting...

I didn't mark this OT because so many filter those and I wanted to reach a wide audience with this question. Can a geneticist determine why a 9-month old baby isn't physically developing normally? If not, who can? Where does one go to get answers? Is it possible there is no answer currently...

Can anyone suggest where I might be able to get some charts (preferably freebies!) on office-related themes (computers, typewriters etc), please? Any suggestions would be much appreciated. Many thanks Leslie -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/

I have been going through my magazines for patterns, and came across these versions, from Needlecraft Magazine, 'What other Needleworkers Have Found Out' section: Note: for historical interest only. Views of the magazine contributors are not necessarily those of the poster. June, 1925: "I have...

OK. This is definitively it. "Flower Power" is being worked on the 32ct Belfast linen. Idea of floor frame abandoned in favour of doing it piece by piece on the hoop. Fabric's the right size, a line of tacking's been run east-west & north-south. Thereby locating centre. AND close enough to the...

As usual this is an excellent issue - wonderful projects! The pick of the articles - to my mind - are the following "Break of Day" a very regal cockerel which they have adorning a little bag, but I see on a cushion, or perhaps an apron for a keen cook. "Jacobean Leaves" A richly coloured...

I've not been looking at this group for very long, so I'm sorry that I haven't yet got a grip on who's who. But I just want to thank whoever it was mentioned the design "Flower Power". Having just completed the Serendipity Carolyn Meacham design "Harmony", I was scratching around looking for the...

This one from Donna Giampa is adorable! Check it out on the "free designs" page of www.vsccs.com Sue

I drove up to my LNS this AM, in the -10 cold! Why did I leave my cozy home, because my LNS, Stitched with Love, is closing and I didn't want to come home from my trip to find her gone already. So I came home with I love Hockey (Kulik Kreations), Sea Shells (Lady Bug Lane) and Bloom! (La-D- Da)...

I picked up the latest issue of Stitcher's World yesterday. I have fallen head over heels in love with the Travellers Tales pieces. I am absolutely blown away and in total lust for every piece shown. The chart in the magazine looks easy to follow and I love the explanations of various...

I'm currently working on my first needle roll and I'm interested in finding out the history of the needle roll. I've tried searching the web but seem to only come up with sites that are selling needle roll kits. Can anyone recommend a web site that will give me some information on...

The Angel is on her way to Jenn Liace. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience stitching on her and being part of this project, and I know all of you stitchers-in-waiting will love working on her. I've sent an updated photo to Dianne for the Angel's website, although there isn't a lot of visible...

Put your money where your mouth is Mrs. Goswitz. You openly stated on this ng that "someone posted your home address". The implication was, of course, that it was me. I challenge you or anyone here to find any such post authored by me anywhere on usenet. Google to your heart's content. I am...

I have just gotten the Kreinik Silk Mori I ordered to finish a XS/hardanger piece I am stitching. The silk mori says in big bold letters to "dry clean only". Is this true? I can't imagine not being able to wash my stitching after I am done with it. I could wash what I have done now but there is...

Hi all, I read that a lot of people have problems finding the Flower Fairies Alphabet book. This book is now available from for Aus$21.00 plus postage and handling Drop them a line for details -- With best regards

Hoffman's apparently doesn't carry Thea Gouvernour. I know she's got some lilies of the valley, but where do I buy her charts on-line? -- Finished 10/30/03 - Christmas candle mini WIP: Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe, Guide the Hands (2d one)

I was (reluctantly) away from this newsgroup for a long time (had a baby) and now I'm excited to be back! I have a question for old-timers. There used to be an extremely comprehensive list of freebies available on the net, compiled, I think, by someone named Sue Sheal in Australia. She regularly...
