Hey all, just wondering if anyone does any plastic canvas stuff?

Thank you...I always seem to have at least 2-3 projects on the go....Right now I've got the owls, a second Deadpool and a cat design...I've got 6 cross stitch books: Star Trek Cross stitch Subversive Cross stitch Celtic Animals charted designs (haven't done one out of this book yet) 80+ cross stitch...

Thank you all for the kind words..Just wanted to let you know I have an album posted now...

I had a friend of mine loan me a pattern of a cat to make for my grandmother...That is what got me started on my cross stitching journey..from there I bought a few books and some more floss...lost all my collection when I left my ex-husband...but have since started my collection again....and gotten ...

That is looking amazing...I unfortunately don't have the talent to do needle point...I have tried a number of times and no success....SO I envy those who can do it...

Looking forward to seeing the finished work!

All of those are amazing. I wish I had the patience to do paper folding like that...(mind you I don't have patience for that art form to begin with)...and the bead work is astounding...All I can do is cross stitch, crochet, and plastic canvas...Thank you so very much for sharing these lovely items. ...

I haven't tried using the wooden hoops yet...I use a small plastic for smaller projects and larger ones for my bigger projects....It just comes to to what you prefer to use...trial and error mostly....You may find that you like the wooden ones for larger projects and the plastic for small projects.....

My suggestion is to sort your thread. And if your pattern calls for 2 strands of the same color, use only one strand but fold it in half and that way when you start your first cross you can just loop through the strand...it makes things a little neater on the back of your pattern.

I have all of my DMC floss wound on plastic bobbins and have them in the plastic sorting boxes in number order. With fancy colors like the metallic at the very end of the last box. Then when I need colors for specific patterns I can find what I need easily and figure out what I need to buy.

I have one metallic thread which I needed for one of my star trek cross stitch patterns...I found it difficult to work with...it is the DMC E3821 (gold)...I now have another cross stitch book which is asking for Kreinik Blending Filament #028 citron and Kreinik Fine #8...just wondering if what they ...

I have done rug hooking..I've got a few finished pieces that were from patterns baught...I've got left over yarn and was thinking of just throwing the extra yarn pieces together and creating something...Keep up the amazing work. Oh and a quick question...do you put anything on the back of the rugs o...

Hello everyone. My name is Lisa. I've been stitching for gosh must be 20+ years...I stopped for a while because my mother in law and I would do it all the time and when she passed I just didn't have the heart to stitch. Then one day I told myself she wouldn't have wanted me to stop doing something I...

I have various books with patterns..Is it ok to make the patterns and sell the finished product if I have made changes to the pattern?
