I noticed this morning there were more new posts--actual readable interesting posts and not the idiotic spambot stuff--than there have been for a while. All because Tia Mary took it upon herself to post a good topic to get us all started talking. True, we have wandered a bit from needlework...

WooHoo! I did pretty well! "Chill" got a 2nd place (I was actually a bit disappointed with this, but didn't see what got 1st for a comparison), "Summer flower box" (the SAL piece) got a 2nd Crocheted bag got a 1st and Reserve champion Crocheted small doily got a 1st I also entered a few flowers...

Hi, I am a longtime lurker/infrequent poster here on RCTN and I have a question for any needlepointers who may be here. I have a painted canvas in the pattern of a patchwork quilt that I have just started. It is made up of nine blocks; the blocks themselves are made up of diagonal stripes, with...

I was moseying thru some sites one day and came across some designs that I really liked and know my friend, who is very hard to buy for at Christmas, would adore them. However, I forgot to make note of the designer, etc. They were patterns of ladies - elongated I guess you'd say - with big...

Hi Gang!, I have been too busy to stitch for a while so here is an update as to what I have been up to or not up to. Employed as a Senior Designer Electrical Aircraft Engineering I have had a fantastic career working on various military aircraft (F101 jet interceptors, F5 jet fighter aircraft,...

What was the most challenging piece people have stitched? I'm looking to start something that's going to make my brain work, and be complicated enough, and detailed enough to look drop-dead gorgeous by the time it's finished. The "off the shelf" projects that are out there today just don't...

I don't think I'm ordering anything. The only one I really want is a $75 kit. Ouch - even if everything to finish it is included.... so here's what made me take a second or third...

Any one looking through the releases? I've scanned about a third of what Hoffmans has posted and I really finding some nice stuff and better yet some new to me designers that get my attention. C

We had a wonderful day, with friends and family calling in. We had flowers and lots of cards. The special highlight was a special delivery from Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth of a card wishing us well on our special day. The buffet went well and guests enjoyed themselves. Hugs Shirley --

I know that DMC has stopped selling the Coton a Broder thread to U.S. distributors, and I'm on the prowl for an alternative source -- in the U.K., NZ, Australia, or wheverever else I could do business. (I can only pay with credit cards and I know that can be limiting.) I am interested in a range...

Help! I've been searching stores and the internet for hard to find hand embroidery designs such as eagles, flip flops, peacocks, old floral designs (not Martha what's her name), sports, and a unique praying cowboy with horse. Any suggestions?

I feel doomed not to start Bagatelle. First, I ordered 32 ct lugana for it from Silkweaver, fabric arrived, but was paler than I expected. Much paler. I sent it back, asked for recommendations for other luganas that might work, got linens recommended instead--at only twice the price! After a...

My neighbor just stopped by from the Plant City, FL, strawberry fields with the most wonderful-smelling container of shiny, ripe strawberries!!!! They smell so sweet, DH couldn't wait to sample one. It is hard for diabetics, but a small amount of strawberries he can tolerate! OK, there are a...
