Intro & Queensland AU LNS
Hi, I haven't been on RCTN for several years, but after a long hiatus I'm finally getting bcak to stitching. I recently moved from the US (West Virginia) to central Queensland in AU, and am looking for a LNS. I'm in Middlemount (aka Nowhere, LOL), about 1.5 hours northwest of Emerald, and about 3 hours from both Mackay & Rockhampton. I did find Needlworx in Mackay, but am wondering what else may be within driving distance. TIA

Cheryl Happy to say hello - quickly - and happy belated holidays. I think a little confusion. As I read this - you've moved from West Virginia to Australia? So, can't help you through my personal knowledge. But, while I don't want to sound like an ad - I do know that there are active ANG (American Needlepoint Guild) members there, and the Embroidery Guild chapter - which I think is the British group. Plus the RSN has an affiliate. Point being that if you would like, the ANG Yahoo discussion group is open - you don't have to be a member, and you can ask for some info there - one of the members from Australia will easily point you to shops. There are really active stitching groups in the area, and shops - though they may be some distance - but some easier to order from than others. That's my best suggestion. Seriously - check out the ANG website - www.needlepoint.org - and look for the tab of the discussion group, it's easy to join, or go to yahoo groups and do the normal join thing. Donna & I have a friend who was teaching in Australia, and I just spoke with another stitching acquaintance in AU, I can ask her - but she's on vacation in the West somewhere. Not that I'd ever stop coming here - RCTN is for friends, stitching, everything. Hope that helps. Sorry if it doesn't. Ellice |

They might have more info. Good luck! -- Joan If worries can cure your sickness, prolong your life, or replace happiness, then go ahead and worry! If they can't, why worry?
