Once Dad brought me a pizza from local pizzeria. I liked it a lot. It was...meat thing...smashed meat or something like that. Anyway...the number of that pizza type was 8. So whenever I wanted pizza, I just said to Dad: "Throw me an eight". I could say the same about the canvas thing. ZA-8 would be...

I must confess I have not practised any stitches but ½ xs. It is the only stitch I can make. I could try whole X's too. That canvas with small holes...I do not dare to try with that. Must try with the canvas of bigger holes. Am not so good to explain, I should show you. Best: Pirjo

I have been working on this 18-count Painted Bunting handpainted canvas needlepoint for nearly a year now-- it's a present for my mother and it's quite beautiful but difficult to see. Anyway, I have now reached the tipping point where I realize if I work on it somewhat diligently, I could finish...

Where could I find a list of DMC Floss by color family...Thanks in advance for any suggestions.... Judy from Massachsetts

The stitching is finished on Big Bird but it isn't washed, pressed, or framed. I didn't get the rug frame brought up from the basement so no progress on Dancing Snoopy but I did find all the materials for it. Lots of unpacking and arranging was done in the house. I have started Christmas shopping...

There really were some 'good old days'. Sharon (N.B.) ............................................................................. ... According to today's regulators and bureaucrats, those of us who were kids in the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's or even the early 80's, probably shouldn't have...

Hi Guys, I know there are a few here who are in the process of learning to use a sewing machine so thought I would share this trick. I did some decorative machine sewing on some long sleeved knit turtleneck tops for the SMDGD today and used this trick to "fancy up" the store bought stuff. I did a...

Hi, I have been searching ebay and all other imaginable places for the April 1985 issue of McCall's Needlework & Crafts. There is an article/advertisement in it that I would like . Does anyone have a copy that they are not emotionally attached to? Signe

Just curious... is there any logic to the dmc embroidery floss numbering? I'm currently trying to get the entire collection and can't help but be fustrated at the randomness of the numbering. I can understand not numbering by color, as you never know how many shades you'll wind up with, but it...

Ok - DD and I walked in yesterday after school, she took off all her snow gear after school and we had lunch. Didn't leave the house again. This AM, we can not find her snow pants. She went off in the back up pair, but I can't find the original set. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! 4 cups of coffee has not...

Well, as I told you....my hB is 87. Far too low. But take it easy and stay on your seats. Nothing to panic. Nothing to panic. I have to eat Vitamin B and Fe+ to make that mess OK again. In the mornings I am dizzy and tired but after I get myself going, it is easier. Still I must take it easy. And...

Haing sorted out the type of tree when do you start decorating for christmas. I do it on or around the 8th of December, we always were off school on that day and my Mum let us get the stuff down from the attic and start. Emer.

I know they are packaged by weight, but does any one know approximately how many beads are in a package of Mill Hill seed beads? Stephanie Alabama, USA remove NOSPAM to reply

Sunset magazine, December 2003, suggests "simple stitching transforms plain linen napkins". The directions are simply to draw a triangular Christmas tree and "fill in with green cotton embroidery thread", so not much of an introduction, but still, it's hand embroidery in a magazine not dedicated...

Hi Guys, My Needlework Interest Group made a "field trip" on Friday to The Japanese Embrlidery Center ( http://www/japaneseembroidery.com ) and I am still speechless! What a wonderful place and such beautiful needlework!!!! I have known that the center was in the Atlanta area but had been told...

Hi! I'm new here. This looks like a great group. I just have a question about copyright. I noticed that someone was thinking about recreating famous artwork into embroidery patterns. Is there a copyright issue? I would love to turn some of my favorite art into cross stitch patterns for resale, but...

Hi All, I'm fascinated with these materials! I've been looking at fabrics from Silkweaver's (www.silkweaver.com) Has anyone ordered from them? I'm thinking of doing Mermaid Heaven on one of these, but can't decide if I want a "sky" background or more of a "sunset" looking background. Any...
