Hi folks, I'm looking for a chart of the alphabet for a 4 year old girl. I've seen a number of charts with "fancy" letters but since this is for a 4 year old I want the alphabet to be in block form. Any recommendations? Thank you. Margaret in Illinois

Not trying to be a wet blanket, but I suppose there is no problem in a Firehouse displaying an angel?? There are so many "political and cultural correctness" issues these days, I would HATE to think of it being relegated to a store-room, because the local government disallows the display of such an...

I haven't gotten my copy yet, but one of my stitching friends called last night to tell me I'm on page 49 of the new Needle Arts magazine. For those who don't know, Needle Arts is the EGA magazine. I think it must be the picture of me holding the "Frederick the Literate" project that I did...

Have any of you seen these made up or had a look at the charts? I'm not much for traditional samplers like this, but some of these are gorgeous. I think it's the colors I like: http://www.wyndhamneedleworks.com/Long_Dog_Cross_Stitch_Designs/long_dog_cross_stitch_designs.html Monique in TX

Yesterday there was a thread about John Clayton's designs in kit form from www.sewandso.co.uk. I noticed that there are quite a few of his charts listed on ebay this morning. See links below. Also Nordic Needle carries his landmarks charts for $12.50 each. I've been eyeing this series for quite...

Hi I'm looking for a brass charm of a dachshund. I've also seen ceramic buttons of a black and tan dachshund on line but now I can't locate the site! I need something fairly small (not more than 1" long) to replace a brass cat. Any ideas anyone? Dianne in Upstate NY

I hate yahoo groups, so won't be joining any of you there. Just somebody keep me posted when it's my turn to stitch. I'll let all of you figure out the rest of it. Dianne animaux wrote: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FirehouseAngel/

This is the best place to start on a strange search as has been proved over and over! I am looking for one of those long stocking caps. You know the sort? Like a bobble hat? One of those stripey knitted thing like a sock but the really long ones. And if I were to knit it, it would take forever. A...

Speaking of things I cannot find, does anyone know current location of a page called the Needlecrafter's computer companion page? Found at http://www.odonnellandcompany.com/ccs/people.html. Its url is http://www.execpc.com/~judyheim/needle.html I could swear I found something related to this...

Does anyone know of free crossstitch and needlepoint charting software? I can't afford to buy one just now. I'd like to chart some bird pictures. Months ago I did encounter mention of one in some book in the library. I think it was a DOS program. On Google I'm not finding a whole...

I just went to your site and found the picture of the motorhome. Beautiful. I am so happy the pattern worked for you. Take Care, Lorraine -- Some days you're the bug, some days you're the windshield -author unknown

Hi Guys, OK -- for those who haven't been followiong the "Showing my ignorance" thread, I have a question. Dianne and I have gotten around to discussing which finishing techniques need a bit more explaination. There are loads of places where you can get info on how to do your own framing but not...
