Mallorcan Stitchery by
AnnieB
On Holiday in Mallorca (Spanish Island) last week I saw some ladies
embroidering table linen with tiny crochet shaped needles rather than
sewing needles. Sadly my spanish was too limited to have a meaningful

this craft please :...

I know that in the past there have been two or three
needlepoint cruises every year. Haven't gotten any

Has anyone had any experience with an: "Offer to Give Secured Property

Cross Stitch Software Programs by
Mark Smith
I am planing to buy a software program to chart some designs, including
scanned photographs. I know that there are a number of programs at varoius
prices, but I seek some guidance or recommendations from any users out

Federal Period - Embroidery by
Dianne Lewandowski
I did some hunting up and discovered garments with lovely surface
embroideries during this period. Lots of silk threads, and especially
silk chenilles. Including a footstool (wool on linen in petit point)
featuring a stag as the centerpiece and a flowered border with a wool
fringe.

Carrying Projects by
Jacquard_The_Ripper
What are the best bags for carrying projects around and where can I
find them? I need something to hold my scroll frame, floss,
directions, etc. I hate to drop everything into my large tapestry
bag, feels like it's dropping to a black hole.
Thanks,
Cynthia

cool. Hope you and DH have some extra cold packs to use on yourselves too.
Some of the cold packs sold here in the states are a bright blue in...

Embroidery novice seeks guidance by
Betty Vereen Hill
I want very much to learn embroidery, and I am hopeful that some kind person
may offer guidance and tips on how I might begin. The idea of trying to

easily from person-to-person instruction, but the fact that I do not...

Attention Jan Lennie! (Re Norfolk) by
Jan Lennie
Thanks Pat ,
I've actually been to Norfolk quite a lot - we used to go there once or
twice a year before Ellie (3 year old) was born . We just fancied a change
and went to Devon and Cornwall the past few years so really it's 'back to
Norfolk' rather than a new visit . Thanks for the links though...

Whisky tubes by

Not OT as a matter of fact! I keep those tubes that whisky comes in to keep
finished and unfinished projects in, rolled up. Fred - you`re right - out of
seven tubes, only two are tins - the rest are cardboard now. Not that it
really makes any difference, but I prefer the tins. The small square...

DMC Floss changes by
Pat Henek
Just spoke with someone at DMC. No colors have been discontinued. This was
an error and Just Cross Stitch will be making a retraction. I panicked
because a lot of the colors are used in our designs.

Book "From the Archives" by
Sampler45
Does anyone have Eileen Bennett's book From the Archives? If so, can you tell
me briefly what it contains and what you think of it? I've seen it on a few
websites, but no one has a list of articles or a synopsis of what's in it.
Thanks.
