I'm still on my nativity set. I just finished the last shepherd and have started on one of the wisemen. Three wisemen and 2 camels to go! I'd really like to get the pieces I have stuffed and finished so I can display them this Christmas. Joan

Hi everyone, I haven't been stitching much in the past two years and so I've lost touch with reading this group and knowing what's new in needlework. Though I do have plenty of stash on hand just aching to be played with again and I'm feeling the itch myself to get back into it. My parents 50th...

Hi. I read this group years ago, and then lost access. I have a friend online whose mother is needing information on a brand of treadle sewing machine we've never heard of. It's a Bruce. We've tried Google and Dogpile, but nothing comes up. So, I thought someone in this group might know about...

Here's a question for anyone to answer....I am seriously considering starting up an on-line needlepoint shop until such time as I can open a brick and mortar shop. But say Pat in G.B. and Elizabeth in Mass. are producing charts that I want to sell through my shop. Does anyone know I go about this?...

And, in time for the course with CA Wells this weekend. http://myembroidery.bigblog.com.au/gallery.do The pics are of rather average quality, as the light was fading while I was getting the photos. When I have finished items - a pyramid etui and a needlebook - I will put some pics of them up...
