Well, the local LNS's have came back from market with this whole new world of punch needle. They are selling the needles for around $45 a set of 3 and then there are patterns also that are around $12 each. They are using the weeks dye works, gentle arts and other fibers to work with. The patterns...

Hi Guys, I know this is the *needlework* group but we ALL need to know about this TERRIBLE thing! One of the quilters over at RCTQ posted that she sent a quilt to a quilt show. She sent it Priority Mail from her local post office (not some off site mail place) and when the box was opened at the...

Just thought about this , if each of the stitchers and contributors sign a small piece of linen in a neutral colour ( white or cream ) and either backstitch their sig or have one of the volunteer stitchers do it , then at the end the pieces are stitched together crazy quilt style and...

From: animaux ..... Also, if you felt we could sign our names nicely in our own hand, that would be fine also. We don't have to stitch the sigs. We have so much time and that is the beauty of this type of project. .......... OK -- everyone think about whether or not you...

Don't mind either way. By the way , I'm the UK stitcher so am happy to have it whenever you decide ( I think someone said about me doing my bit near the start ) I post a lot to the states and it doesn't take as long as you'd think it would - sometimes longer within UK !!!! Jan "animaux"...

Hello all! OK, I've been gone some months from here, but I have been avidly stitching. I'll say more later on what I have been doing, if anyone asks. Right now I need help. I have stitched matching samplers for my sisters and myself. Some of you may remember me asking for help choosing a...

Vic, I am not the level of stitcher that you need, and my eyes are a little iffy. However, I would be love to contribute monetarily to purchasing some of the supplies, or the cost of postage, whatever. Then I will have felt that I contributed, in a VERY small way. Maybe it would be best if there...

A few years ago I was actively posting information about my fractals. The site I once used "xoom.com" was great while it lasted. But eventually NBC wanted in on the action and bought them out. Not long after they killed the unlimited plan that made it so popular and along with it went over sixty...

Me!!! I'm going up on Wednesday night so I can start shopping earlyon Thursday. I am taking only a couple classes this year, so plan on spending a fair amount of time in the stitcher's lounge. I might even try a couple MITIs. After the last couple of weeks at work (can anyone say COMPUTER VIRUS)...

Hey, stitchers, I just found this. It's a FREE download. One of the folks at Knitter's magazine, David Xenakis, has put together a wonderful article. It tells you in detail how to make a REALLY GOOD chart from a photo, using Adobe Photoshop. It is a PDF file, so you'll need Adobe to read it. And...

Too funny! Punch needle goes in and out of regions in the US. Somebody will go to a craft show, get excited by a sharp salesman, learn how, become a rep, teach classes and hope to sell lots of needles and yarns. A woman called me and came over to demonstrate about 8 years ago. She was SO excited...

(THat's not making much sense but it's been a realllllllly long day... LOL) Makes complete sense to me, however I don't seem to have their site bookmarked and I can't recall the name. It's not gripit.com or grip-it.com =( Jenn L. View My Webshots:...

When I read this sentence from Victoria's message, it stopped me in my tracks: Felice, Elizabeth, let's stop worrying about any of it. My first two names are Felice Elizabeth, my daughter is Elizabeth, and my granddaughter is Victoria Elizabeth. How can people with such lovely names not get...

There's a book called "This Stitch Is Good For..." I think. Also look for books by Sandy Jenkins. There are others, but I'll need to do some quick research to jog my memory. On Sun, 14 Sep 2003, stitcher wrote: On Sun, 14 Sep 2003 08:49:28 -0500, Dianne Lewandowski ...

Went to the local stitch store yesterday. Seems it isn't long for this world. They may make it through the month and not much longer. aeromom "Russell Miller" wrote in message ... I need a needlecraft store 'fix' quick before schooling starts...
