especially in this newsgroup. For myself, cross stitch is my
addiction, but I also knit, sew, crochet, and do the odd needlepoint.
My specialty in cross stitch appears to be angels, as I find myself
buying all the new patterns, and have nowhere to put them. Of course
when my mother visits, she usually goes home with a minor treasure
trove of pictures. I have sworn to wind down my cross stitch career,
but whenever I visit my favourite shop, the girls there always have
something new for me, and I can't resist.
I'm also not very good at finishing things when something comes along
that strikes my fancy. Anybody else out there like that. You know, the
ones that have 30 projects half finished?
I also have two knitting patterns on the go, sweaters for friends, and
two more to do. There's just not enough time to get it all done. This
interruption called a job keeps interfering with my needlework! What
kind of needlework do you enjoy most?

The entire color list has been posted on Stitcher's Source home page for
at least a month. It is not just #8, there are new 12's, 5,'s and some
that have been discontinued - at least in their present format (ie,some
balls have been discontinued in some colors.)
Since Lesa is a regular poster to this group, and her address is on each
posting, it shouldn't be too hard to find this. I guess I am being lazy
and not looking up the address myself.
Hope you find it! Ellen

DMC floss IS available in cones, so I imagine the pearl cotton might be as
well. Your local shop owner should be able to check with DMC and special
order it for you. There might be a steep minimum, however.
The color range might not be as wide, but check out Cotton Clouds
(1-800-322-7888) in Arizona. They have several weights of pearl cotton in
lots of colors. I can't remember if they sell by the ounce or by the cone.

> I understand DMC has enlarged its line of perle cotton colors--I think

This information was available at the Stitchers Source web site. I imagine
it is still there. I printed it out and have found it very convenient,
especially since a lot of the colors in my new design are ones for which
there is now pearl cotton.

The best way to get quantities of perle is from weaving supply stores. I don't
know any in Texas, but there's a great one in California. It's called Straw
into Gold and it sells perle by the ounce or pound. Huge number of colors, and
I think (I was there last summer) it was in all 3 sizes--definitely in #5. The
store is in Berkeley, on San Pablo Ave., but I don't have the exact address at
work.

Oooh, I like angels too... but my devil's bargain with my craft-addiction
is that I'm only allowed to start *small* (read: "actually finish-able")
projects. (Thus the plethora of Christmas ornaments... cross stitched
angels, crocheted snowflakes, fabric & bead covered styrofoam balls). Do
you have suggestions of patterns of small angels that I might enjoy? I'm
just finishing the little ones from Leisure Arts' "Holidays Remembered"...
I think I'll mount them as panels on a few particualarly sumptuous beady
& satiny & ribbony styrofoam ball arnaments...

Count me in. I'd like to be part of the group to communicate back and
forth and share patterns, ideas, etc. I am new here. My name is Lori
and I have enough cross stitch patterns to fill a room. I am learning
to needlepoint. I found a book of famous Masterpieces (painted by
Degas, etc.) that were converted into needlepoint patterns. I didn't
have a clue how to needlepoint, but when I saw this book I knew I had
to learn. I am enjoying it even tho my talent level is not yet where
I would like. I have done all of the Precious Moments Christmas
cross-stitch I have been able to find. I know there are more. I have
the first 3 in the set. Does anyone have some of the others?
Looking forward to being part of the group.

Hi Lori, is it my Needlepoint Masterpieces book you've got there? If
so, let me know before you attempt one as there are some mistakes on the
charts.
