Have a great weekend all This will be an extra long one in my house - DH has Friday off due to hours worked and the kids have no school on Friday so it is a 4 day weekend. I plan on family time and garden time and maybe a little hockey and dinner with Margaret and spouse. C

Hello everyone! You are cordially invited to join the Kustom Krafts Gang for a new Mystery Stitch starting Sept.10th. It's FREE. You will find the list of supplies you will need in the files section of the group. This is a usuful little project to do on 14 count fabric.

As promised, here's my analysis: I ordered the #8 sewing needle and the #26 Tapestry needle The #8 sewing needle is a larger sewing needle than I like to use (I prefer #10's), but still works ok for general sewing and some of the larger (14 or 16 count) monocanvas pieces. I also tried it on...

I am trying to find out which red floss would be closest to the color known as Pantone 186C. Does anyone know of a conversion chart for this? TIA Katherine in Omaha

I had to learn the hard way. I had a piece of finished needlepoint at my desk, doing some frame measuring, and, long story, I got some ink from a gel pen on it. On the white part of course. So, now gotta tear it out, try to get the ink off the canvas with mild diluted shampoo, restitch or...

The local "newspaper" came out yesterday. You know the type, who is running for town council, local news and the police and fire blotters.... From yesterday's Londonderry Times blotter page "caller complained that a woman in a bikini was standing on RT 102 and distracting to traffic"

Remember how I just said I'd come to peace with not rushing my "And a Forest Grew" and decided to forgo this year's state fair and wait until next year? I was doing a normal Happy Dance because I finished it on Friday night and left it at the LNS on Saturday night. Well, imagine my surprise...

Because I am itching to stitch even more than usual. And of course I'm busy the next few days and will have little to no time to do it. . . linda

While I'd love to try another new type of stitching, until life settles down again (or I hit my stride again), I can concentrate on cross stitching and a book, but learning something new will have to wait a bit. SO - I want ideas. I'd like to use a free chart from somewhere we can all access it....

Drum roll please What are you stitching? I'm stuck on letter I for the baby dragon alphabet. So, I'm making great progress toward finishing Cheryl's Bouquet. I've told myself when I finish with the "bottom right" page, it's back to the alphabet.

Over on Donna's blog, she has been talking about an article in the most recent EGA magazine. Near the end, she said this: "Lastly, a question. How old when you when you started stitching? I think a majority of us tell of some experience in our youth that made us familiar with it when we were...

I see the morons have taken over the group once again. I was so interested in hearing what everyone was working on, now that subject has disappeared. C'mon back. Sharon ( N.B.)

There's got to be someone out there with an answer for me! I've googled and can't seem to find it. I've done my tatting, but how the heck do I hide the ends? HELP! TIA for all the help I just *know* I'm going to get! :) Joan

I just got a news brief via e-mail stating that Hurricane Bill has been downgraded to a Category 1 storm. Yippee!

Hi Gang, I have a friend and a fellow stitcher with a problem. She's in the midst of a nasty divorce. Have any of you heard of the needlework being listed as part of the community property settlement? Who did the evaluation? She was told property has to be valued at "garage sale prices" so I...
