I was in Joann Fab and noticed a lot of white and red felt squares, so I decided to grab it now and some other colors too. I am making a template now for a certain tree dec I want to make a few of for little gifts and not feel rushed come November when I usually think of whipping some up. I did...

This is by Bothy Threads.... http://www.thesilverneedle.net/images/bothy/bothy-rowofladybirds550.jpg I know you're drooling!!...LOL just me, Cathy from KY in CA

Drove to Merrimack thinking all the time, they're going to call this if the temp drops a few more degrees. Which they did - the field was flooding and the snow didn't do much to help the conditions. Had Lunch with E, went home, stitched and played on the computer a bit. I've put Herbal Essence...

Someone obviously has far too much time on their hands! http://www.funny-potato.com/easter-tree.html -- Bruce Fletcher Stronsay, Orkney

Has anyone actually done this piece? I loved the pattern and bought it, but when I checked out the beads I'd need for it, I darn near died. 38 packages!! And some of those are treasures which are very expensive. Never mind the special threads. Guess I'll use that fabric for another project. ...

Well, I haven't been stitching much. Back in late February, I found a lump in my left hand while trying to massage out a cramp. Had to do the wait and see and when it got to be a problem to drive, I finally got to the orthopedist and had it drained. Just a simple cyst, but location is...

The Aunt is at it again. If you want to see and hear my amazing nephew, go to YouTube and search for Ken Clark and Urinetown. He opened last night at the Connecticut Rep. Theater in Storrs, CN. It runs this week-end and next. I's post the link but I haven't figured out how to do that,...

Hello all I've been a lurker for awhile here, and am finally coming out of the shadows out of desperation. I have a large project I've been doing with Eterna Silk, and need more. I have placed orders with Thread Express and Yodama. Both places confirmed my orders, and that was the last I've...

This video is a bit long but well worth watching!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpJ8glq5F-o Joan

In the 1900s, an English town had fallen on really hard times. For decades, its primary industry had been its textile mills. But now the mills were all closed, and unemployment was at an all-time high. Desperate, the town's mayor looked frantically around for other industries to bring to his...

Peter the Rabbit managed to break free from the laboratory where he had been born and brought up. As he scurried away from the fencing of the compound, he felt grass under his little feet, and saw the dawn breaking for the first time in his life. "Wow, this is great," he thought. It wasn't long...

There is an old kit by Bucilla of the Irish Blessing which I am in search of. I contacted the company and they no longer carry it. The blessing was at the top and there was seashore image at the bottom. I did find one on the interent but have never received a response. I would even take just...

I saw the exhibit this morning at a member preview day, and the show opens Sunday. It was simply fantastic, and included some of the most beautiful objects -- glass or otherwise -- that I have ever seen. While you're there be sure to see the Colonial Embroideries exhibit in the new Art of the...

has anyone worked with this stuff? is the trick just to do very short lengths or is there some other glow in the dark that won't make me insane to work with. It's a project for a friend of DD's who has a lot in common with Margaret! HELP ME! LOL

I had said I would post some pics of Chihuly at the de Young museum in San Francisco. The pics don't do it justice....it was beyond gorgeous!! Here's the link: http://community.webshots.com/user/kytravelrn just me, Cathy from KY in CA

Has anyone found the needle I lost last night? It was a #26, threaded with 2 strands of DMC 728 Topaz. It seems to have run away from home. I hope no one steps on it and gets hurt. Lucille

I have a silly question so hope you'll all be patient. Until recently I have been a petit point fanatic. However, I bought Dimensions Gold 'Jewels of The Orient' which is a cross stitch piece. If anyone has done this piece, I've done a small amount of half stitch 'branch' coming down from the...

I am looking for a source to purchase Russell House Tapestries (charted kits) of specific designs. Does anyone know of a responsive source . Needles in North Carolina is impossible to contact. thanks.
