FireHouse Angel for Dianne, the inception!
Thanks for the vote of confidence. Native New Yorkers always knew those
things and that's why we react to the bad press that we get. And yes, even though I now live in Florida I will always be a New Yorker. Born there, raised there, lived there most of my life and proud of it. Lucille "animaux" wrote in message ...

Thank you, that means the world to New Yorkers to hear you say it. We get a bad rap all the time.

I will supply the original design to be passed around in a tube so not to continually bend it. Each person can make a working copy, or if it's in tatters can write to www.tiag.com for a new copy, as is promised by the designer in lieu of making copies. I will also pass around the Needlepaints. Everyone is welcome to stitch a part. We can discuss where the stitching should start, bottom or top, left or right. When it gets back to me, I will finish it by stitching the face and hair one over one. I will start the first leg of the piece. Not the actual "leg" just in terms of a...well, like the first leg in a race, only this will not be an actual race. Who's in? Victoria |

To add to your note--some years back a few of my husbands friends decided to
have a small neighborhood reunion, not school, just neighborhood. That small group turned out to be around 300 people, all from a few block area that went to the same elementary school and all of whom knew each other. There was an age range of around three years and when we went into Junior High and High School we were split up into different schools. Nevertheless, everyone knew someone from the old neighborhood and people came from far and wide. We all referred to our neighborhood as a small town plopped into a large city. Lucille "animaux" wrote in message ... The funny thing about this perception is that when you live in the city, be it Manhattan or one of the boroughs, you are part of "the block." The block knows everyone and is an integral part of one another's lives. Who watches who's kids, bbq's, block parties, over the fence gardens, etc. When I moved to Texas I was most mind boggled at how we lived in a house for six years and I only knew two people on the block. People in New York are always perceived as being unfriendly. So untrue. I still have the habit of talking to people at the grocery store, Kinko's, wherever I go. It's how NYers do! We or many of us have bravado, some not, some less, some aggressive. I'm a combination of all, but my heart goozes out at the seams. This is how FireHouse Angel got started. So, I suppose it was Tia Mary who propelled it's inception. Victoria On Fri, 19 Sep 2003 21:23:27 GMT, "Lucille" opined: Thanks for the vote of confidence.

I got the chart in today's mail and now want to ask two questions.
1. If I'm seeing this correctly there are no 1/4 or 1/2 stitches -- right? 2. Is each stitcher responsible for any backstitch and/or specialty stitches in her section or will one person be doing all the finishing and embellishment (embellishing, embellishments, whatever) ? I'm looking forward to working on this terrific project. Lucille "animaux" wrote in message .. . On 05 Sep 2003 17:57:04 GMT, ekoluvr (Tia Mary-remove nekoluvr to reply ) opined: |

One person doing the finishing sounds very sensible to me.
Wasn't it you who remarked about blue being your favorite color? Mine too. To the extent that my friends are shocked when I use another color, which I do every so often so my house doesn't get too boring. But given my choice, everything would be some shade of blue. And I'm delighted to see the Nature Conservancy address label. I have them too. Lucille "animaux" wrote in message ... One person will do all the back stitching. I didn't see all that much, nor was there much in the way of specialty threads. Nobody can stitch this without the original because of the color symbols. Once we all see what the stitching looks like, we can diplomatically see which swath who wants to stitch and when. None of this will happen till Tia Mary returns from Arizona.
