I just went to TW's website to get some information on a pattern I'm hoping to start today (Miniature Autumn Sampler), and her homepage says she's going out of business! I'm completely saddened by this as she's been my favorite designer for years and years. No other designer has even remotely...

First - by spending way too much time of the computer http://www.nordencrafts.com/home.aspx And click on the new items tab. http://hoffmandis.com/newbooklistings/newbook.cfm They also do a weekly mailing of the weeks new stuff.

A Bouquet for Cheryl.... I'd have finished last night, but between listening to Tim McCarver and listening to DH complain about Tim McCarver, I had to go to bed. I'd have a chance of finishing during the day today, but DD is home sick and I'm not likely to get any daytime stitching time. So...

Headed out this morning to get my cast removed. Surgeon gave me a referral for physio to start next week. Hand looks fairly good although the fingers are still quite stiff (no surprise there). (Lots of scaly, flaky skin - perfect for Halloween) Doc told me to be careful since the hand is...

A friend of mine recently gave me some vintage buttons from her mother- in-law. I would like to use them on a sampler. Does anyone know of a saying about buttons I could use? I did a google search and just got sayings written on current buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Janet

I admit, I lifted this from another site, but considering how many word-aholics we have here, thought it might make an interesting topic of discussion (if you would like to see the site, go he http://www.alphadictionary.com/articles/100_most_beautiful_words.html Ailurophile - A cat-lover. (as...

Thank you so much to everyone who gave me suggestions for sources for tri-fold "aperture" cards for needlework. I ordered just what I wanted from www.sewandso.co.uk and they arrived within a week. Then surprisingly enough the original ones I ordered from my neighboring state arrived too, 3...

Has any one any idea if "My Favorite Needle" is available. I know the company went out of business but there may be some lying around in a shop somewhere. I would appreciate any information out there.

I always work on the same project since it takes me years and I have 3 I work on. Now Woodland Enchantress. Which I started last year. It seems every New Years I buy a new project. Which way do you stitch? I start left to right then I follow a thread color and go up down and all around. So no...

Well, wish me luck - I finally decided to try for the Master Craftsman in Silk and Metal Embroidery. There were several terms mentioned I did not recognize, so we'll see how it goes. Luckily I have plenty of time to get each submission in. It looks to be a good challenge, so I'm looking forward...

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...

Well, given the various degrees of crap life has been handing me, when I saw this chart, I knew I needed it, even if just to fondle http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-perl/itemdetail.pl?item=MBT092 Picked it up from Contoocook Needlework Gallery last week with the floss and even know I have the perfect...

Tonight I'm planning to spend an hour assembling a felt banner for church (not stitching, technically, but cutting and gluing, though I'll have to run a seam on the machine for a casing for the hanger.) Then I'm working on an afghan for a Christmas present and some ornaments from Emie Bishop....

Well, I took two of my pieces into the regional fair - The Dixie Classic - and one of them got first prize! I got 1st Prize in the Embroidery division with my piece showing gold leaves on a black background ("Evening Enchanment" in Fran's Stuff on RCTNP). I also showed the Waste Canvas...

Well ouch is what I meant to say, some how a few other colorful words filled the air. The nerves in my left thumb have started to settle down so that I can grasp something between my thumb and index digit without going into orbit and then yesterday..... I picked up a fairly long board that had a...

It's been a long time since I remember having a round of postings dealing with different needlework tips & hints. Since things seem to be so slow, I thought this might be a good topic, especially for any newbies out there or those of us who just forget stuff. I'll go first since seeing the...

Ok - I've finally had to make the switch to readers and distance to correct my vision enough to stitch, read and drive. Love the distance - I can do 80% of my normal daily stuff with them, even the computer if I up the font size a few points Reading is a dream and stitching is getting better....
