I am currently working a Bucilla kit called
the Needlework Shoppe. I have come to just about
the 3/4 point in the kit and I am running out of
about 1/3 of the different colours. Bucilla lists
a bunch of numbers in their thread list in the kit,
but don't say whether the threads are DMC or whatever.
Does anyone know what type of thread they use? I
intend to finish the kit as far as possible, keeping
a sample of which threads I am running out of, try
and match it to DMC or Anchor and if that is not
possible I will have to write to them for additional
supplies.
Add my voice to the list of people stating why
they don't buy kits! I keep this kit at work so
that I have something to stitch at noonhour and it
is most annoying that I won't get this finished
before it is too nice outside to sit inside stitching!
Arrgh.

I would never buy a Bucilla product again. The thread came
all bunched together with the indication which thread was
which and many close in color had similar thread counts. I
called the company and they gave me a hard time about
sending me the missing threads. I told her myself and two
other people verified the colors and what was missing.
When I asked what the problem was she huffed. Very
dissatisfied with this company

Nice to see at least a *bit* of action here again!
What is everyone working on? I am doing a foxgloves
pattern:
https://www.thestitchery.com/itemdy00.aspx?T1=TB3629
I'm nearly done...have all the green done and am working
on the few bottom flowers. I'm actually stitching it for
Arliss (former member of this group), who has trouble
stitching on black. I've also started (but have set aside
for the duration of the foxgloves) their hollyhocks kit https://tinyurl.com/yxrnzv5p which is for me.
These are kits from Europe (Riolis) and use an
acrylic/wool blend, which has been a dream to work
with...it's pretty soft stuff and the colors are really
vibrant.
And (to keep this on topic) they are supplied with plenty
of floss. :)

So I'll add my own. ;)
I'm currently re-stitching models for my first four Goodie
Bag charts. Zweigart liked them so much, they kept my original
models for display at trade shows and such. Considering how
generous with sample fabrics they are, I had no problem with that,
but I do want to have a complete set of models in my own
collection.
The big news I've been holding back is that I've developed
a new website along with several friends (one of whom is
another stitcher) and will eventually be re-posting my old
freebie charts on the new site plus newer, exclusive designs
that have never before been published.
The site won't be just about stitching, but I'm hoping that
the freebies will bring in some interest and folks will find
other things about it they like and keep coming back.
BTW the site will have NO ads or tracking. It's not a money-
maker, just an outlet for us to share our interests and ideas
with others.
I'll let everyone here know when the site goes live.
I can't wait to start getting feedback on all the work that's
been done.

I'm peaking in, since I do get the digest and see that Joan has mentioned my name. I know that Joan intends to enter the foxgloves bell pull at her county fair. I would hope (but suspect it might not work out) that she could enter her hollyhock bellpull at the same time; I might persuade her to hold off and enter both at the same time next year.
I've been working on a couple of Mirabilia designs - Stone Roses (just beads and ribbon work left) and Lady of the Flag (just a bit of a hair color change,
I love seeing posts here again!Congrats on that, Nyssa! What a good feeling that must give you.
So I'll add my own. ;)

I just finished a little wren and "Tweet Heart Ornament" by LucieYou've been a busy boy, Rich! Those look like fun designs.
Heaton (a little bird from a magazine). I had it framed. Picture is
on FaceBook. I also finished "Grateful Every Day" by My Big Toe. I am
almost half done on "Halloween" by Renato Parolin. I put it aside to
work on "Hope Blooms" by Patti Conner of SamSarah Design Studio. The
chart uses all 35 of the new DMC colors.
Rich
LOL! There's absolutely *no* way I'd get them both done! Haven't touched the hollyhocks since I started yours.

Ooo, you didn't tell me you finally decided on the hair! Last I heard you were pulling your own out trying to decide! ;)
We're supposed to get *another* 1-3 tomorrow or Wed. sigh. I just hope it's a nice slooooooow melt, so we don't have another 1997 flood! Everyone is complaining about the snow, but these are the kinds of winters I remember while growing up, so to meit's back to "normal". People just aren't used to it anymore, I think.
Joan
Hahahahaha I said you could hold off and enter both together NEXT year.True, but then I wouldn't get blue and purple ribbons on *both* of them!!! There *is* a method to my madness. :)
I think you've had more snow there than we have here, but there's still an awful lot piled up on my lawn. (It does provide some privacy from the street!) But this month has been just bitterly cold, with nothing above 20F the whole month - and thathappened only once or twice on widely separated days. My gas fireplace gets used a lot. It snowed overnight and most of today, but it *might* be finished now.

You can find conversion charts on the web. Bucilla kits use Bucilla thread numbers which can be converted using the charts. Best Wisheswhat happen to this group?

Hi there,
is there a link to this facebook page somewhere?
I am in a group on facebook but it is a bit small and there is a lot of people advertising their pattern shops on Etsy. I don't really mind that but as a result people don't really talk about the actual stitching part!
