I agree--I'd like to see just w h at yo u are creating. Not sure I'm visualizing properly. Have made x-stitch cards before. Paper cards with stitched elements framed or glued on cardstock. You are talking about something different, I believe...

Large works I always cover with glass. Spacers if I've used buttons or other embellishments. Very dissatisfied with non glare glass. Sounds good in theory, but makes piece "muddy" or less bright.

It's been a year of fruit and vegetable pillows, too. But honestly, my FAVORITE designs have always come from Marjolein Bastin. I wil...

AM brand-New to the forum, but not to stitching. Have finally catalogued my mags and am amazed at how many were picked up at book sales and thrift stores. Several hundred since the late 1980s. More than I will ever handle. Passing some on in the family, but if you have a specific issue, I'd be glad ...
