I am getting pressure from the owner of one of the cats in my house (she belongs to my 7 yr old dd) to "do a Xst of JoJo." It's only fair, both of her sister's cats have been turned into designs. However, I cannot figure out who to cast this cat as! Here is her...

There was once a handyman who had a dog named Mace. Mace was a great dog except he had one weird habit. He liked to eat grass, not just a little bit, but in quantities that would make a lawnmower blush. One day, the handyman lost his wrench in the tall grass while he was working outside. He looked...

I have the chart for "Santa Of The Forest" by Marilyn Levitt Imblum. I got it 'cause I spotted it on my LNS wall and fell in love with it. Today's my birthday, and the kids want to buy me the threads for this chart and the fabric. I stitch petit point and have never attempted cross stitch, but I...

Hello friends -- Just checking in because of all of the fires in California to remind everyone that I have the Love in Stitches Stash Replacement if you know of anyone who has lost their stash or an organization that would distribute stash to victims of the fires. Also, just found out that I am...

de-lurking Hiya from Kai' I'm wondering if anyone has/knows of a set of craft books called 'The Family Creative Workshop'? I found what seems to be a complete or almost complete set in a second-hand store but they couldn't help with my query. Basically, I'd like to know if there is a book...

Hi Guys, OK -- I will be taking the piece to the post office tomorrow and send it on its way to the UK. I have included my copy of the chart with the sections I stitched colored in red ink. Hopefully, that will help Jan start her round of stitching. I stitched the bottom most blue color -- I...

While I am not usually concerned about the charts on e bay. I was really bothered by a bunny chart generated from the computer. It was a greeting card from Inter Art and I thought maybe was a real chart. When I asked about it she said" Yes we design and produce our own patterns." Most were...

OK, I will be in Chicago tomorrow for the day to attend a funeral (I'd rather not go, but I'm obligated). Mind, I know nothing about Chicago, and have been there only rarely (last time was a good 5+ years ago). Are there any LNSs located near West Foster and North Ashland Avenues??? That's the...

I'm looking for an even weave that matches - fairly closely - DMC No. 316. It could be a little lighter or a smidgen darker. I don't care the fabric content, but would be nice if it was a 28 count. However, higher or lower (not too much lower) will do. Does anyone know if aida is made in this...

Hi everyone, this is a call for your expert assistance. I am in the process of completing my 1st counted cross stitch project (done on cream Aida 14 count) and despite my best endeavours, it has become a bit grubby through the constant handling necessary to work the picture. Is it OK to wash my...

I've just been listening to/watching "A Conversation with Gregory Peck" on Turner Classic Movies while stitching. They just don't make stars like that anymore. Such a great actor AND married to and in love with the same woman for 42+ years, and whose daughter produced the documentary about him. ...

My MIL is in full "fling" mode, contemplating moving into a smaller house and getting rid of many things she's accumulated over the years. Yesterday she let me go through her big boxes of linens. I came home with a huge haul. There are one or two pieces that might actually have been worked...

Anybody else having the same problem I am? I can't really categorize what appeals to me...it's like pornography. Can't define it, but I sure know it when I see it! I like *some* fantasy, but not all; some primitive designs, but not all; some samplers, but not most; things with a strong geometric...

I'm specifically directing this at Jim, as I know he's done alot of work in this area... and because he has an engineering mind like my own ;) But I'd welcome anyones input. I have a good photograph of a watercolour painting. The painting is of my grandparents farm, done by a friend- therefore...
