Does anyone know where I can purchase tri-fold cardstock with a small cut-out to mount embroidery in the card? I have not been able to locate any locally anymore. The one place I found online (Embroideryetcetera.com) shows exactly what I want on their website but perhaps is no longer in...

Hi Joyce, It's been a LOOONG time since we "spoke". I spoke of you recently on the cruise I took the first of this month. One of the young men taking photos was from Johannesburg and seeing his name tag made me think of you. I told him I had an internet friend who lived in RSA and he...

I think we need designers here. To hear our opinions of what we like in kits.floss fabrics. Dyan didn't advertise. Just added his opinion. That's what the group is for. I have been here along time. I usually lurk but I really enjoyed our kit topic and everyone's help with it. I didn't know the...

The picture I wanted to be on the cover made it! It's a gingerbread house designed by Sharon Pope. I'm so excited that this piece made the cover (jumping up and down wildly in my mind because I'm at work and have to behave). Elizabeth (the editor) even mentioned me in her editor's column, One...

Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him Allah ( God ) sent all the Prophets and Messengers to call for the worship of Allah alone, and to bring people from darkness to light. The first of these Messengers was Nooh and the last of them was Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon...

So, long story short - I fell off my motorcycle two weeks ago. Thank goodness for full riding suit with padding, full-coverage helmet, boots and gloves. Ended up with two broken ribs (healing nicely) and two broken metatarsals in my left hand. I had surgery on the hand last Friday and it will...

Been too busy for more than the occasional glance, but are all these weird posts a new thing or have they been going on for a long time? (The intrusive nothing-to-do-with needlework-or-continuing- conversations ones). -- "Be who you are and say what you feel....Because those that...

A man is stranded in the desert and has not eaten or drunk anything for nearly 36 hours. He is about to die. Amazingly, as he stumbles through the sand, he comes to three market stalls. The man (half-thinking he must be hallucinating) approaches the first stall and demands, "I need water, sell...

One day, when a seamstress was sewing while sitting close to a river, her thimble fell into the river. When she cried out, the Lord appeared and asked, 'Why are you crying?' The seamstress replied that her thimble had fallen into the water and that she needed it to help her husband in making a...

Ok - I've finally had to make the switch to readers and distance to correct my vision enough to stitch, read and drive. Love the distance - I can do 80% of my normal daily stuff with them, even the computer if I up the font size a few points Reading is a dream and stitching is getting better....

It's been a long time since I remember having a round of postings dealing with different needlework tips & hints. Since things seem to be so slow, I thought this might be a good topic, especially for any newbies out there or those of us who just forget stuff. I'll go first since seeing the...

Well ouch is what I meant to say, some how a few other colorful words filled the air. The nerves in my left thumb have started to settle down so that I can grasp something between my thumb and index digit without going into orbit and then yesterday..... I picked up a fairly long board that had a...

Well, I took two of my pieces into the regional fair - The Dixie Classic - and one of them got first prize! I got 1st Prize in the Embroidery division with my piece showing gold leaves on a black background ("Evening Enchanment" in Fran's Stuff on RCTNP). I also showed the Waste Canvas...

Tonight I'm planning to spend an hour assembling a felt banner for church (not stitching, technically, but cutting and gluing, though I'll have to run a seam on the machine for a casing for the hanger.) Then I'm working on an afghan for a Christmas present and some ornaments from Emie Bishop....

Well, given the various degrees of crap life has been handing me, when I saw this chart, I knew I needed it, even if just to fondle http://www.123stitch.com/cgi-perl/itemdetail.pl?item=MBT092 Picked it up from Contoocook Needlework Gallery last week with the floss and even know I have the perfect...
