Washington DC landmarks by
Donna
I read on the group months ago about a really nice series of charts
that were of landmarks in the DC area -- they were like a pen and ink
type drawing stitched in backstitch? Does anyone remember this and
can I have the designer's name. I have been hunting them on the web
and can't find them :...

Rotating Projects (was LMAO: Banned from the Garden!--very long) by
Pat Porter
We do that for gardening - set the timer for an hour and drop everything
when it goes off - that way you don`t sicken yourself by doing more than
you`d really like! I HAVE used the timer for stitching, but normally I like
to finish one project before starting another - a part done one never...

Oprahization by
Caryn
Rather like O.J. Simpson, the 'bushy haired stranger' who according to
her had done it never materialized.
Suppose it was the same bushy haired man that Dr Sam Shepard (the inspiration
for The Fugitive) saw in his house the night his wife was killed?

Lost Stitches by
Russell Miller
Hi everybody,
With my luck, this is a question that only museum employees or
needlework historians will know. Have any stitches been lost over the
years. I mean, we have cross stitch, algerian eye, gross point, daisy
stitch etc. But are there any stitches from history that have been
forgotten...

An easy route to take was Way OF--I need a shoulder by
Fred
Lucille,
If the dog had stopped vomiting then I would have continued to feed with
boiled rice and boiled hamberger and Pepto Bismo until things settle down at
the other end. It does take a bit of time for things to sort themselves out.
Prior to the introduction of a de-wormer the analysis of the...

How do you pick your next piece? by
wild
Oh, someone else like me!! I feel so guilty when everyone talks about
their framing, because almost all of my crossstitch projects are still
awaiting that last bit of backstitch, those few beads, that girls head.
And they are ALL in a box under my desk. A single xs piece of mine has
been framed and...

Way OF--I need a shoulder by

Poor you - and poor dog. Mine had a bad tum this week - we kept her on

kind of yarn by
Lucille
When I made pillows for dining room chairs 20 years ago I used 3-ply wool,
persian yarn and the pillows are still being used. I would think the
Paternayan Company wool, or an equivalent wool, is still available.

stretcher bars by
bheider
What do you recommend for stretcher bars for a 24X24 inch canvas -- mono 14?
Can I use a scroll frame -- will it hurt the canvas to be rolled up like
that?
Thanks.

IMPORTANT. The AFARR. by
F.James Cripwell
At the time the AFARR was being organized, there were lots of people
anxious to have a letter allocated to them. There were also lots of
people who were disappointed at not getting a letter. I did not join in, as
I am not that keen on round robins. Now it appears that the AFARR has
