I KNOW I've seen this information here before, and I'm sure it is in the archive, but since I switched from AOL newsgroups to Google, I don't know how to get to the archives. So.. can someone either tell me the name of a huge fabric store in Philly that I have read good things about here, or help...

A few years ago there was an RCTNer named Wanda. She had been "mom" to Oyo, the beautiful Serval who was the model for Karen Couchman's "Pharaoh's Pet." For those who haven't seen it, here's the link: http://www.couchmancreations.com.au/cc025.html Anyway, I was wondering if she's still around,...

I know there are many in the ranks who have studied needlework history. I'm wondering if the bellpulls we now make are based on the old-time bellpulls the ladies of the house would ring to summon the housekeeper, butler, whatever. I am a collector of bells and got to thinking it might be kind of...

I work as a one-on-one paraprofessional for a special ed student. When the student is working in Keyboarding class or has peer leadership, it becomes my time to stitch. I'm currently stitching a Laura J Perin design that was a freebie from Nordic Needle. it's a snowflake stitched in white over 2...

A friend has brand new carpeting in sort of an oatmeal color, on which someone spilled a whole cup of coffee, which has made a terrible stain. Obvious question, how to get it out. And no, thank heavens, it wasn't I that spilled it. Will SARD soap do it?or OxiClean? or that Mr. Clean sponge? I...

Ok, I am endeavoring on my largest needlebook yet (ok, so it's also only my second one, I am still making it big!) I have tons of needles that I want to keep together...quilting needles, crewel style needles, twin pointed needles, etc. Some of them I would like to have labels near so that I...

My DH and I are just starting the exploration of building our dream retirement house and I am going to have a bedroom to use as my sewing/stitching room. Today, as we discussed some of the house plans in a book we are studying, we measure out one room that is 12 X 11 and decided that the Koala...

I am looking for an old design that I found in a very old UK needlework magazine. The magazine is "Weldons Needlework Old and New, Needle Art Series no.9" I have no idea when this was published but I think it was around QE2's crowning. There is a design on canvas that was on pg. 20 of the...

When Kit Carson wasn't out exploring, he lived on a small farm. One day, the famous frontiersman decided to surprise his wife with eggs and fish for breakfast. Arising early, he went down to the henhouse and collected some fresh eggs. There were only six. On the way back, he stopped at the pond...

I just received a telephone call from a company (Dial America Marketing, telephone caller ID showed "Georgia Call" but she claimed to be calling from Nashville, TN) saying that they were calling on behalf of The Cross Stitcher magazine to renew my recently lapsed subscription. they had current and...

Life has been keeping me away from my needlework AND the computer for quite some time now. I am going to be a group leader for a family oriented summer camp in August, and I'll be taking my guitar. What I NEED is a strap for my guitar so I can walk and play at the same time...something like...

De-lurking again! I have never been to National Seminar, but want to go and have several questions for those lucky folks who have been before. Do many people take their spouses? (This will be a major "vacation" so DH is considering coming with me. However, he has been talking to his...

I am having the most delightful time figuring out a knot garden (English) at Colonial Williamsburg for french knot work. I have got it down now to 3 x 3 inches so one more downsizing should work. Christine Harris has gotten me on a new kick. In her writings she has suggested that if you are an...
