Several weekends ago, I attended a quilt exhibition. The quilts were phenomenal as was the history lesson (they called it bed turning, or something like that). One of the vendors, in addition to having fabrics to die for, was demoing punch needle on a William Morris-like fabric. I was so...

Hi all, I've been researching over the range microwaves and none of them have good reviews for how long they last. Our current microwave is 12 years old and running fine, but we are putting in cabinets to go from one row to an L shape As part of the L we want to move the microwave to the wall to...

I felt as if I was going around without part of my body for a couple of days. However I am happy to say, that Verizon has forgiven me for whatever, and has turned rctn back on for me!! Maybe they thought I was too old for such things!! Anyway, thanks to you all for the good wishes. It seems as...

So, here I am, like a drone - going over tons of stitch information. Why you ask? Or, maybe not - but I wonder how many of us do this. Yes, on topic. And in the words of Monty Python "my brain hurts." So, here's the deal - as some of you know I've decided to do the Master Teacher Program with...

Does anyone know how how to say "My heart is in Poland" in Polish? I'd like it for a piece I'm stitching. Thanks, Monique in tX

I can stitch on my porch, or in the car with the windows open, but unless it is completely windless, I can't just stitch out side. Does any one here stitch outside? Cheryl

A guy stuck his head into a barber shop and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The barber looked around the shop full of customers and said, "About 2 hours." The guy left. A few days later the same guy stuck his head in the door and asked, "How long before I can get a haircut?" The...

Is there ANYONE on this group going to the Stitching Jubilee in Lancaster, PA in October? Registration started last Tuesday, anyone taking classes? In the old days, there was lots of talk on this board about folks going to Spirit of Cross Stitch, Heart of Cross Stitch, and CATS. Seems there...

John was lonely and so he decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. He went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, he finally bought a centipede, (100 leg bug), which came in a little white box to use for his house. He took the...

Yesterday, DS got his license. Being a loving mom or complete push over, I let him take my car today. He came home from school, asked for some gas money and went for a ride. SIGH C

Some years ago, Paddy married an attractive woman, Maggie, half his age, in a small coastal Irish community. After several months, Maggie complained that she had never climaxed during sex and according to her Grandmother all Irish women are entitled to a climax once in a while. So, to resolve...

This may repeat an earlier 'survey' but I'm stuck inside due to fall allergies and meds to combat those allergies. Some, most, all of us have embroidery techniques, designers, subject matter, materials (fibers, grounds, etc.) that we do when we want to be comforted, not challenged, by projects....

After finishing the punch needling on fabric printed with bathing beauties, I agonized over what to do with it. Although I have a frame that might have worked, I decided to do a quilt-like wall hanging with a fabric border. After pawing through my stash, I found something. I turned the air blue...

Hi all My DD called the other day with a list of Dimensions floss numbers she wanted converted to DMC. When I checked the lists I had, she had numbers that weren't on my lists. So I did another search and came up with a couple different lists, with different conversion #s. Sooooo, I redid the...

1) King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan. Croesus said, "I'll give you 1000...

I got this one from a friend. He said he used slightly less sugar, therefore so did I, and he used raisins not chocolate chips. I didn't have any choc. chips on hand, so I also substituted raisins. I don't care much for vanilla, so I left that out. It works quite well, although I think it...
