    Hello everyone, I’m a new MAL. I’m into crewelwork, however, I saw the English Summer design for the lightning round and had to sign up. It’s such a lovely design. Can’t wait to stitch it.

      Indian Whitework Embroidery is modernly called Chikankari, which is the name that the Persians gave the Indigenous peoples whitework embroidery. Would it surprise you to know that the whitework embroidery of India was known to Alexander the Great?, or the Romans and Egyptians? It was described by 3rd century BCE Greek Diplomat Megasthenes and…[Read more]

    Question about the MC step 1 documents.

    So, Ive been cruising the MasterClass documents … mostly bibliography cruising. Looking for things I need to add to my “stash” and my bibliography.

    Seven of the documents were fabulous … ear steph, droolworthy pictures, and awesome bibliographies!

    I suspect, though, that there are **issues** with the…[Read more]

    I was looking at the publications page. Would it be possible to add thumbnails for each of the projects?

    I mean, the odds are good that I’m going to want A The Things, but it would be nice to see what they are without having to download them first!

    I would love to take the goldwork class with Kay Stanis. It\’s a group class and wonder if any other members-at-large might have the same interest? I would be will to be the group coordinator if there are members interested. Please let me know.

    In the interest of making someone laugh.
    I was Today old when I learned that all printers with scanners are automatically set to scan pictures or documents at 300 dpi.

      I actually didn’t know that. I just check because I automatically scan everything at 300dpi. That was how I learned that the Oxburgh Emblems stitched by Mary Queen of Scots and (iirc) Elizabeth Talbot are cross-stitched!

      Yes. The fee isn’t too bad, but proper supplies can be quite expensive.
