Has anyone here ever ordered from them or worked one of their patterns? They're a bit pricey, but some of them are really gorgeous. I'm wondering how easy the ordering and downloading process is and how the company is to deal with... Monique in TX

I hope the lack of "conversation" means everyone is either outside enjoying some spring time weather or inside stitching. I think I'm about to have a big block of stitching time as I am to report for jury duty on Tuesday. But first, tomorrow, Ellice and I go back to the demo room at Woodlawn one...

I was looking for a little something to do and found a "kit" that Ellice sent me a while back for a tin cover. Well the stitching is done, I went to my favorite bead shop and found some cute flower beads to add glitz and now all I have to do is find the tin and other bits and get my iron out...

The PFH has been delivered to the framer, along with another couple of items. Actually it was a breeze until I got to the darned grass. I should have used a variegated green, and not worried about it, but I wasn't about to frog all that sweat and tears. LOL Anyway, I have picked up the second...

I have a booklet called Angel Ornaments by Kathy Wirth, Janlynn book #21-126, according to my notes. Except I can't find it where it's supposed to be. I'm looking for it on the Web but can't find it anywhere there, either. I want to see the cover so I know what I'm looking for in my mess, um,...

Hi all, I imagined many of us are thinking a bit about our friends in the throes of flood preparations, and wanted to say that I spoke with Joan this evening. She sounded pretty chipper, and said the waters were about halfway up their yard, and around the backside of the house, but she wasn't...

The stitching for the first wall for the patio/balcony scene from Stitch is just about done. Next up is making irises. There are good instructions for forming the flowers but nothing about how long the stems should be. I'm gonna work backward and make a few flowers and then do the stems. I've...

Hi Guys, I am taking a weaving class and was telling the teacher (she's my age -- nice surprise -- LOL) about newsgroups. She hasn't had time to "hang out" on the computer so didn't know about them. I told her I would ask if anyone here knew if there was a weaving newsgroup or something...

I've been yearning after one of the Victoria Sampler Heirloom Stitching charts but have been holding off because it's very pricey with the silks and accessories. I know it would be much more beautiful using the suggested silks, BUT----------- I just like the look of these pieces and really...

Hi, I stitched up a little bird of paradise ornament. It's from a book that I think is now out of print. I took some photos and uploaded them to my blog, along with a photo of the front cover of the leaflet. There are several flowers along with a large "Mele Kalikimaka" design as well. I am tasking...

very important for your life Excuse me!! Would you stop for a moment?! O...man...Haven't you thought-one day- about yourself ? Who has made it? Have you seen a design which hasn't a designer ?! Have you seen a wonderful,delicate work without a worker ?! It's you and the whole universe!.. Who has...

I saw the Rosings sampler from The Stitching Parlor on the website of Traditional Stitches, a Calgary company I deal with regularly, and had to have it, because of the wonderful carriage on it (carrying Lady Catherine De Burgh, obviously). A tiny little inquiry, and they cheerfully offered to...

Well, after many days of not being able to do much of anything (nasty cold), I decided I would restart the AAN "An Important Flower". Well, despite using a good fabric caculator site, I goofed and started it on piece of fabric that was going to too small. SO, since I really wanted to work in a...

I just purchased a few colors of floss all different numbers. I noticed that the threads are thinner looking and have a different feel to the touch(when working with them). Anyone else noticed this? some of the numbers I purchased- #906 #907 #3853 #368 #369

I just mailed off 5 large afghan(Queen size) in med box. I used med size garbage bags and my husbands shop vac.We sucked the air out of the bag and tied it off. One of the bags got a hole and it started to come back to life. This would be a great idea for your storage of(yarn,fabric etc)...

The trumpet flower project from Beaded dimensional embroidery by Helan Pearce is saying 'do me soon.' I don't have any of Kaalund wools or silk so will use threads from my stash. The instructions say to put a layer of soluweb under each top piece after most of the embroidery is completed,...

Hi all, Someday I'd like to organize my stash in a databse. Right now I'm working on organizing my books, so it'll be a while before I tackle the stash. Anyway I stumbled across the Stash Can and it looks very interesting http://www.thestashcan.com/ Has anyone tried used it? -Margaret -- \\...
