Mar-Bek's Nativity by
Maureen Miller
O.K. I have 10,000 WIP's but Mar-Bek's Nativity is calling out to me.
Can anybody tell me how long this project will take me to stitch? I'm
thinking that if I hide the six charts at the back of the drawer behind
all the other "Must Have's" that just maybe DH won't notice them.....
But will I...

OT - Marmite by
Sharon
A very nice lady I know who lives in N.S. sent me a lovely package
today. Marmite!!! Holy crap, it has got to be the most foul tasting,
gut wrenching, disgusting thing I ever tasted. I'd rather lick an old
boot. No wonder you guys came to America - to get some decent food.
Barf I think the...

Lost Stitches by
Russell Miller
Hi everybody,
With my luck, this is a question that only museum employees or
needlework historians will know. Have any stitches been lost over the
years. I mean, we have cross stitch, algerian eye, gross point, daisy
stitch etc. But are there any stitches from history that have been
forgotten...

Have you ever wanted to give away all your needlework gear? by
Kalmia
I am seriously thinking along those lines. My fingers are getting
sore, and I really have no desire to do any projects. My walls are
full and there is no one I want to make anything for.
Should I wait a year, or just tote all my floss, Persian wool,
crochet needles etc to the next local craft...

Off topic - what do you watch by
Cheryl Isaak
We have satellite TV and I love the range of show out there that are far

stitching time and some of my housework time
First choice - craft shows excepting anything on scrap booking. I'll include
any antique shows with this...

Nicotine stains on needlework by
Carolyn Wagner
I recently received a stamped cross-stitch that my grandmother did many,
many years ago (at least 40). It had been professionally framed under glass;
however, she had been a very heavy smoker, and the protective covering on
the back has been torn. I don't know if it was torn while it was hanging...

Floor frames by
Sorceress
I'd love to hear from you good folks regarding your various floor frame
experiences, likes, and dislikes. I'm thinking about upgrading again, and
while my current floor frame is adequate, I'd like to find something that can
easily handle larger scroll frames and stretcher bars. Thanks for your...

Hardanger software question by
Robert St. Amant
My wife does a good bit of hardanger, along with related embroidery
techniques. She's interested in software that would help her design
patterns more easily than with pencil and paper. Can anyone suggest a
software package they've had good results with? Windows or Macintosh
is fine. ...

Attention, Dianne! by
Susan Hartman/Dirty Linen
I immediately thought of you when I saw this article in the Hopkins
alumni magazine:
http://www.jhu.edu/~jhumag/0903web/bigques.html
It's about manners and civility, and he states the root casuses of our
modern-day lack of civility very succinctly, I think. In fact, I tried
to think if there were...

Can't anyone proofread? by
Bmciowa
I am currently working a counted canvas chart and the directions are making me
crazy. (My sig is out of date, so don't look there.) I can figure out what
and where to stitch easily enough, but the copyediting is atrocious! Once and
for all, PLURALS DO NOT NEED APOSTROPHES!
To all designers: I...

Evangeline, MLI style by
lucretia borgia
Can someone tell me - is the Evangeline showing on MLIs site supposed
to be 'our' Evangeline as romanticized by Longfellow ? I hope not as
Evangeline lived a very peasant life, did not wear flowing gowns and
was said to be pretty.
The statue at Grand Pre more truly represents the grit of...
