Ric Rac and Polka Dots	Posted - Apr 30 2010 : 10:46:55 AM Hello ladies, A few of us hand stitchin' farmgirls felt we needed a place of our own, and "Hanging By A Thread" was born. We are for all people who love working with a needle and thread, and we invite people who do all types of handwork, embroidery, cross stitch, crewel, whatever!!! This is not just for experts ... I am a beginner level, and I just love doing handwork. Of course, any experts out there PLEASE JOIN, because we would love to learn from you! Hoping to meet many of you soon!

City Chick	Posted - Jun 09 2010 : 08:24:39 AM http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php A crafting forum. Lots of cool crafts. I love the embroidery forum, the needlework forum, where Pam is a Mod - Sublime Stitching has a forum as well. I lurk mostly. There's a pretty cool cooking forum as well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Farm Girl #790 http://www.xanga.com/My_Pondering_Place https://twitter.com/EllieFunt

Ric Rac and Polka Dots	Posted - Jun 09 2010 : 08:15:28 AM Ok, what is craftster. And do we have a celebrity in our midst? Somebody tell me, I'm excited! Julie Ric Rac and Polka Dots Farmgirl #1127 "No matter where you go . . . there you are."
kittykill	Posted - Jun 09 2010 : 06:57:37 AM Ah! Thank you! There is lots of inspiration over there. I love this forum too! Everyone is so thoughtful and sweet. www.fasterkittykill.blogspot.com
City Chick	Posted - Jun 09 2010 : 06:54:45 AM You need to email Brian at the farm and he'll approve your "membership" in the henhouse. I am on Craftster, I just don't post much on there. Mostly look for inspiration. I thought your name looked familiar. I'm EllieFunt on there. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Farm Girl #790 http://www.xanga.com/My_Pondering_Place https://twitter.com/EllieFunt
kittykill	Posted - Jun 09 2010 : 06:36:02 AM I am! I'm the needlework and global moderator. I also do their videos. Are you on there? I have a question-I went over to the Hen House and it said they weren't accepting any new people. Did I miss something or do something wrong? Sorry, this forum is still really new to me. www.fasterkittykill.blogspot.com
City Chick	Posted - Jun 09 2010 : 04:59:33 AM Pam, are you on Craftster? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Farm Girl #790 http://www.xanga.com/My_Pondering_Place https://twitter.com/EllieFunt

Ric Rac and Polka Dots	Posted - Jun 05 2010 : 7:31:24 PM Peggy, I have sent you an email with address info to write Brian at the home office. In the meantime, please try to read through all the old posts on this 9 page post and just get acquainted with who is here so far and what we are all about! then you will be all caught up! Welcome to our henhouse!! Julie Julie Ric Rac and Polka Dots Farmgirl #1127 "No matter where you go . . . there you are."
LadyInRed	Posted - Jun 04 2010 : 5:08:45 PM Julie...how do I join the Hen house? How do we get to Brian to join? I've never heard of having to do that before. blessings, Peggy Lady In Red http://ladyinredsite.blogspot.com A "SMILE" Should Be A Woman's First Accessory, Then Her Purse, Shoes, and Bling! ~p.smith
Ric Rac and Polka Dots	Posted - Jun 04 2010 : 10:58:53 AM Hey everybody in the Hanging By A Thread henhouse, we are posting now on the henhouse. New project starting, need your input on which stitches you want to include! Check out the projects link to find it. Looking forward to hearing from you. Have a great weekend. I am furiously sewing finishing up a picnic quilt and placemats which I just started on Wednesday for my soon to be daughter-in-law's shower which is Saturday. I thought it was next weekend, and then I found the invitation. You can only imagine how thrilled I was to see I had the date wrong. Nothing like a little stress to motivate a person. I almost had a heart attack, and started the project immediately after putting down the invitation and fighting back a panic attack! :) Well, it's my own fault for not writing the date on my calendar, so maybe that will teach me. Probably not, I'm 51 and still doing things like that from time to time, so . . . . Anyhow, again have a great weekend and try to decide which stitches you would like to include in the project. Any ideas for the front cover you would like would be great too. I have an idea or two, but would love to hear what you all come up with! Julie Ric Rac and Polka Dots Farmgirl #1127 "No matter where you go . . . there you are."
Ric Rac and Polka Dots	Posted - Jun 01 2010 : 10:08:34 AM Brenda, Thank you so much. We are glad to have you. I can't wait to get started on the first project. I posted in the henhouse, but I will tell you here also for those of us who aren't officially linked yet. I think everybody is happy with doing an embroidery stitch sampler book. I am just wanting to hear how many stitches everybody would like to do. We'll just do an average of all the replies. We could do 3 or 4 on a page, so we could easily do twenty or more if you all want! Let me know what you think you would like, everybody's opinion counts! Don't forget to post a bio so we can all get to know and love you! Julie Ric Rac and Polka Dots Farmgirl #1127 "No matter where you go . . . there you are."
classygram	Posted - May 30 2010 : 09:28:24 AM Julie I'm still waiting for Brian to email me. I guess I'll try calling Tues. But I still want to sign up. It sounds like its going to be alot of fun. And thank you for doing all this for us. Also, prayers are going out for your mom and you sweetie. You have your hands full, and we are all here for you.

Ric Rac and Polka Dots	Posted - May 30 2010 : 06:07:08 AM Bonnie, I'm so glad you're in. I hope I can make it fun, I am sure going to try. I keep finding more and more things that we could do as projects. I am going crazy trying to decide, but then I realized we will all decide together - so no pressure on me! I will just put the info up and have you all look and pick out your favorites. We can vote on them and decide which ones to do, or should I say which order to do them in because you will probably like them all too! Also everyone can send in their ideas or links so we can look at them too, so I think we are going to have tons to choose from! I'll kind of be glad when the holiday weekend is over and life can get back to normal, there is so much to do right now! I have a cake and jello to make for today, some seeds to plant, some plants to transplant, and then have to take a shower and get ready for our get together, which is this afternoon. Good thing I woke up earlier than usual, right? Have a great weekend and get those fingers ready to roll! Julie Ric Rac and Polka Dots Farmgirl #1127 "No matter where you go . . . there you are."
Bonnie Ellis	Posted - May 29 2010 : 7:37:35 PM Julie. I called Brian yesterday and I am in your ric rac and polka dots too! Yea! I love Crabapple Hill patterns too. Which sampler are you talking about? I just purchased the beautiful quilt with the dinnerplates. And the floss. Can't wait to get started. You will make the group so much fun!

Ric Rac and Polka Dots	Posted - May 29 2010 : 08:13:17 AM Just another reminder that we can start posting on the actual henhouse site now, as I think most of us are in! Starting new project after teh holiday weekend! I can't wait!!!! Julie Ric Rac and Polka Dots Farmgirl #1127 "No matter where you go . . . there you are."
Ric Rac and Polka Dots	Posted - May 24 2010 : 06:43:47 AM Ok, so is everybody in that is coming in? I need to figure out who is still waiting for the office to link them up. Just drop me an email to let me know if you can! I appreciate it! Thanks! Julie Ric Rac and Polka Dots Farmgirl #1127 "No matter where you go . . . there you are."
Jibara Girl	Posted - May 20 2010 : 5:13:18 PM I am new to your forum topic and just want to let you know that I have purchased from Crab Apple Studio many times. Very high quality and just plain beautiful. Have fun girls you wont regret it. Zoed Vega Texas Live... Love.. Laugh.. Dream.. ;)
bellagirl	Posted - May 18 2010 : 12:00:13 PM Julie, I called my prayer group and we will keep your mother in prayers daily until we hear she is well once again. God will give you strength, just remember to lean on HIM. I have done a couple of the Crabapple Hill patterns, the Halloween houses and the "To Grandma's house we go" Christmas pattern. Both required only chain stitching (so easy for a beginner) and a bit of piece work. I'm game to do any pattern that everyone agrees to do. Warm hugs, Carmen Farm girl sister #1443 Blessings from Heaven and Earth
Ric Rac and Polka Dots	Posted - May 18 2010 : 11:35:57 AM Oh good, I was hoping you would like it. We'll just have to wait and see how everybody else likes it! Julie Ric Rac and Polka Dots Farmgirl #1127 "No matter where you go . . . there you are."
