Re: Charles Ross Victorian Christmas Stockings
Hi Cindy W! I joined this forum (when my search for other Charles' Ross Victorian Christmas Stockings patterns led me to your post) so I could communicate with you. Many years ago, I completed 7 of these stockings using the Mama, John and Mary patterns. My husband died before I finished our 6th chi...

I don't have it, but might this be the one? http://www.crossstitchstash.com/Green-A ... 92759.aspx
I find this web page a great resource, if a little pricey.

Re: Charles Ross Victorian Christmas Stockings
I have both designs, and would be willing to lend them to you, but would want them back. I have stitched all of them (finishing Joy of Giving even as I speak), but if more grandbabies come along I'm going to have to start repeating designs!

Free to a good home!
I have two pre-stamped table clothes with Christmas motifs that I will never finish or use, as the size (50x70) is wrong for both of my tables. One includes the floss and is partially done. The other is just the stamped cloth. Please PM me! I also have 20+ cross stitch pattern pamphlets I'd like to ...

Re: In need of a home
Are any of these still available? I would love to have either a baby or full size afghan, or both! (not to be greedy )

Hurrah!
There is a Facebook page? I missed that! But it doesn't look active (2013?).

Re: Masses of pattern books/magazines!
Okay folks, I have inventoried and put all of the titles in a spreadsheet. I have a total of 125 booklets, leaflets, and magazines. If the moderators can tell me how, I'd be happy to post said spread sheet here so you can see what I have and contact me. I'm not interested in selling these, but just ...

Masses of pattern books/magazines!
I was recently gifted a large number (100+!) of cross stitch pattern books and old copies of the cross stitch magazine. I will never, ever, use even a tiny fraction of these patterns, but would love to pass them on to anyone who is interested. I'm going to work in inventorying them so you have an id...

Re: New From California
I have made cross stitch stockings for our family and added to it as the family grew. The original stockings are now 33 years old and holding up well. I don't recommend backing them in felt (the stuff sold by the square or yard for crafts) as it will deteriorate rapidly. I line mine with a sturdy mu...

Re: 2018 St Cross Stitchers Hospital
I'm happy to say I don't think I'll need a bed. I think a chair by a window will be sufficient. Having done 5 months of chemotherapy, surgery was a great success, with the tumor completely gone. I start radiation therapy next week, which will last six weeks. I'm regaining enough strength to increasi...

Re: Tapestry Frame
My scroll frame has strips of heavy canvas strips attached to the poles with staples. I'd take it to an upholstery shop and ask them to attach strips to your poles. They have the canvas strips probably, and I know they'd have a staple gun that would go into the wood.

Re: In search of
I have both of these patterns, and would be happy to lend them to you, but I definitely want them back! Grandbabies are starting to enter the family and I suspect I'll need to duplicate stockings soon! Let me know if this is doable for you. PM me so we can make arrangements.
