Welcome from a fellow Torontonian - though I live in the east end, which seems to be a black hole when it comes to stitching stores *sad sigh* I hope you find a great place in Calgary

Blessings!

Welcome to the forum. It's a great place and I know you're going to find, like I did, that everyone here is welcoming and friendly

For headaches, I use a technique that I was taught to avoid headaches when spending too much time at the computer - look up every few minutes. I usually do my stitching when sitting with my housemates as they are watching TV. I don't pay too much attention to what is on the tube, but it gives me som...

Welcome Darlene :) I actually like stitching on black and have done quite a bit on it. I find that an OTT light works wonders when I can't have natural daylight. I honestly didn't think it would be that much different from other "craft/project" lights, but it is. Another thing that I find ...

Welcome to the forum :) I grew up travelling abroad (mostly around South America) because of my fathers job. It was hard sometime, the adjusting and whatnot, but when I look back, I am still amazed by the places I visited and the things I was able to experience and see - your kids are very lucky :) ...

Hi Tia,

I'm new here, but welcome back.

I know how difficult it can be when life gets overwhelming....sometimes stitching is the only thing that keeps me sane

Always remember to be gentle with yourself no matter what

Hi Lisa, Welcome to the forum. I'm new here too and have been blown away by how friendly everyone is :) My great grandfather was the one in my family who stitched and I have some of his framed work - its lovely, and what inspired me to start (I mean, how hard can it be to make little x's on canvas w...

Wow...thank you everyone for such a warm welcome! :) :) I know that I'm really going to enjoy it here :) Several of you asked what I am currently working on, so I'm going to answer here rather than post the same message over and over again if that's okay... :) I don't have photos of anything yet, so...

Hello :) I always serge the edges of my canvas, so fraying has never been a problem :) As for washing, I have only ever hand-washed and I only use Orvus equine soap. It's always gotten everything out (even spots/stains that I thought would be there forever and ruin a piece) and it doesn't leave any ...

Hi there :) My name is Natasha and I live in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I've been stitching for many, many years, but find I tend to stitch furiously for a while, move away from it for a while, and then start stitching furiously again. I love doing counted cross-stitch, and have discovered hand-dyed ...
