I have several years of magazines that I would be willing to part with. I have several years of Just Cross Stitch and Crazy for Cross Stitch, as well as several other magazines. Let me know if you are interested.

I get frames at yard sales,garage sales and thrift stores.I also tole paint,so I always have paints to use if I want to paint the frame or mat board.I always wash my stitching.a drop of dish liquid,i use dawn,ans some lukewarm water,slosh it around,and rinse it very well with cool water,place it in a towel to absorb excess water and roll the towel up. Iron it face down on a towel,and I use a pressing cloth when I iron. I have seen stitching that hadn't been washed,years after it was done,and you could see the persons fingerprints on the cloth the way they yellowed.I'm sure that person didn't keep her hands clean and lotion free when she stitched it,and it showed. That piece was a piece one of my sisters friends had done for her.I took it all apart,washed and ironed it and put it back into a new hoop,which is what she had it in originally. I don't expect my pieces to become heirlooms,but I want them to look nice while I or whoever I did it for enjoys it. JMHO. Kathi

This pattern is no longer sold at cross stitch stores or at Patterns on Line. It is TW Designworks Fantasy #6 Tracery Dragons. Pamphlet looks like this;

LOL, Theresa! It’s not really my style. Plus I don’t think I would want to take on 36 count linen! Donna PS - I washed and blocked my recent cross stitch last weekend so it can go to the framer this weekend!
