Plumeria (my favorite flower here in hawaii)

Thank you for everyone joining in on our party... special request by squirrel, here's your ice cold ginger ale and cake (hope you like haupia, it's my favorite)

Thank you for the warm re-welcome, you are all so sweet and quirky in a fantastic way I look forward as well to getting to know all of you better... I'm in the process of moving but once I get settled hopefully I can get back to more stitching and able to post some pics

Long lost

Hi everyone, I can't believe that I've been away from this forum for about 10 years!!! :oops: I almost couldn't remember my password :roll: for the few members from way back I posted a description of the parking method and was so shocked that it's still up!!! Been catching up on a lot of the threads...

Anytime sarah... great work, I'm glad that through you I can watch this piece come alive... haven't touched mine in years and am busy with my mystic stitch and a haed I just bought...

If I'm not mistaken, I think the only difference is that the gold series uses blended colors and sometimes gold metallics...

Hi Sarah, first I wanted to say that you're doing a really great job on this project... Second, I have the same pattern except not in Chinese, it came in a kit and is actually the first cross-stitch project I ever started years ago... Unfortunately I never finished it... Anyways, if you could let me...

sue, i use the parking method and keep my needles threaded and hanging... if you keep the needle close to the center of the thread and let it hang it shouldn't fall off, none of mine have... the shorter pieces of thread i take off the needle... hope that helps...

the detail is beautiful, can tell it's taken a lot of hard work, good luck with the rest!

hi, for anyone who's used the rainbow gallery petite treasure braids, how many strands have you used? the pattern i'm doing is on 14ct aida and calls for two strands of floss for the cross-stitches... should i use two strands of floss and one of the metallic, or one floss one metallic? thanks!

i have a pako organizer and i love it! i haven't really had a problem with the threads getting tangled, they may look like they are but when you pull the threaded needle that you want out it usually comes easily... the project i'm working on has 84 colors and i didn't want to buy another pako becaus...

thanks ladies, C_F i will definitely try that method...

hi, this is my first time using beads... i think i have the general idea down on what beads to use and how to attach them, but i wanted to secure my beads in the corner of the aida square rather than on the square which most methods would place the bead... if anyone has any suggestions it would be v...

the title of the piece is perfect, he definitely looks like "the mad blue bird"! good luck with the parking method and if you have any questions just let me know...

that was a very clear explanation and the pictures really help a lot too... thank you!
