I haven't seen any other messages on this thread, but if you haven't
left yet, there's an excellent one in Kent, which is south of Seattle,
about 10 miles.

So???? Don't leave us in suspense what is the name and address of
the shop in Kent?

I'm not Dick, but there's a nice shop in Kent called The Stitching Parlor.
I'm still remembering the day a couple of years ago when Susan Profit
(Tinne) and I "made the rounds" of Threadneedle Street in Issaquah, The
Stitching Parlor in Kent, and Stitch 'n Stuff in Renton. What a fun day!
I bought a souvenir chart of Snoqualmie Falls at The Stitching Parlor.
Each store is wonderful in its own way.

There is an excellent shop in Renton (south of Seattle). It's called
Stitch n' Stuff and it's open 7 days a week. The people who work there
are great. I moved from Seattle in June and continue to do business with
them by phone. They had the largest selection of fabric that I've seen to
date and a great selection of patterns. As I recall they also sell
hardanger and ribbon embroidery stuff. They also have classes and monthly
stich ins where you bring a project on a night and stitch with whomever
shows up.

221 S. 4th Place
Renton, VA 98055

There's also a shop in Bellevue right near the mall called Cross-stitch
Corner. Not as large a selection as Stitch N'Stuff, but still a nice
shop.

The Stitching Parlor, and they have a stitch in every Thursday evening at
6 PM. 314 W. Meeker (right in downtown, two blocks from the library).

They've started a bobbin lace making class, and if they get enough folks
sign-up they might do a second series. Saturdays for lace, Fridays for
knitting, and Thursday for cross stitch, is that enough excuses?

After reading the posts on Seattle I have to ask about classes. My
husband has relocated to Bellevue and I will be joining him in June. Do
any of the shops that have been mentioned have classes, visiting
teachers such as Jean Hilton, or any other activities a displaced
California stitcher can attend to meet some Northwest stitchers? Any
info will be much appreciated.
I was visiting him a few weeks ago and he took me by Cross Stitch
Corner. He and my daughter went to McDonalds and got a snack and left
me to explore the shop. I was pleasantly surprised because in my area in
California (SF Peninsula) we do not have a multitude of shops and it
seems like I am going to have several within an hour of our home. (We're
probably going to end up in Issaquah.)
TIA for any info as I am looking forward to exploring when I move as I
won't be working for a few months.

In Issaquah there is a marvelous shop, ThreadNeedle Street that I travel
from far South King County to visit several times a year. She has had a
visiting teacher of a national rep there, I don't know about classes.
I do know that classes are available from the Stitching Parlor in Kent as
well as the Thursday night stitch-ins.
I don't travel to Cross Stitch Corner in Bellevue or the Stitcing Place in
Renton although they are closer because they are not as well stocked with
either supplies, specialty historical needlework books or patterns I am
looking for as Threadneedle Street is. Stephanie at the Stitching Parlor
is a gem who is wonderful with customers and finding things for their
tastes. Cross Stitch Corner and the Stitching Place do have many loyal
customers because they fill their needs, so I would not say that any of
them are poor shops. Come on out and visit them all and find your
favorite.

Try Threadneedle Street in Issaquah. They're great.

Hi again,
Since I have started reading this NG I have read alot about flower power,
in particular the very large size of it. It sounds like something I would
really like, I love hummingbirds and flowers, but I haven't read anything
about the complexity of the chart itself. Does it have a lot of color
changes and blended threads? Is this like a giant TW or MLI? TIA Sarah

plus five times eleven,
equals nine squared and not a bit more.

I saw this at a shop in the HOuston area three or four weeks ago and was
very tempted to get it -- I will probably go back & pick it up. It is
very large, and looks like it might be complex, but I don't think any
single element of it is as complex (as far as color changes, anyway) as a
TW.
One nice thing about it is that the motifs look like it would be easy to
lift one or several and incorporate them into another piece. I've never
actually seen the whole thing done, but if it comes out looking as good
as the chart suggests, it will be an impressive piece.

Hi Sarah,
I have this chart and plan to start stitching it in 1997! I have the
perfect spot in my great room I want to hang it - it is large - measures
about 4 ft by 2 ft when done on 32 ct linen! I saw the finished design
in the Crossed Wing Booth at the SOXS Festival in Austin this summer and
it is gorgeous! Paul Menkebie (sp?), the designer, stitched it all over
about one and half years - she said she ripped out and altered as she
went to change the design!! She had her husband build her a special
scroll frame - resembled a quilting frame. Don't think I will go to that
extreme; haven't decided how I will manage all that fabric yet! Probably
will use large QSnaps and move them around. The design is very clearly
charted; each flower and insect, bird etc, have their own color chart;
plus she has included a total list of DMC colors needed. You have the
option of stitching the insects one over one. The hummingbirds use
blending filament to add sparkle. It is designed so that you can work on
a section at a time and not feel too overwhelmed. The colors are
gorgeous. If you are into epic designs, this one is the ultimate because
of its

The first year that I attended SOX in Sacramento I met a woman who had
done Flower Power as her first ever xs project. It couldn't be that

Hi,
We have an email group started for Flower Power. Contact Sandy at
bor...@magick.net to be included. We all plan on getting started around
the first of the year.

OK. I know I shouldn't follow up on my own post, but I'm really pretty
convinced that I "must have" this pattern, I have vaulted ceilings in my
living room, 15' high in places and so could easily find someplace to put
it. Besides, I love challenges. But now I'm worried about how much it
will cost me to have framed when I finally finish it! I can just see
myself working on this thing compulsively for a year ( I can be pretty
anal), and then never being able to afford to frame it. Can some of you
Flower Power conquerers tell me how and how much for framing? TIA again,
your all great! Sarah

If we had one of those rooms, wouldn't we just fill it up

I just bought the chart for Flower Power and have vague thoughts of
starting it sometime. Does anyone know if any of the colors are required
in more than one skein? With the recent problems with chamnging DMC colors
I would want to be sure I had enough of everything at once.
