I much prefer the older shows than watching the stuff they make now and the western Cimarron Strip is one of my favorites! I recorded the show that played last Sunday and I watched it last night. I had to laugh at one particular scene!
The episode was 'Knife In The Dark' where a Jack-The-Ripper killer was stalking the streets. Marshall Crown was talking to the girls at 'Pony Jane's' and one girl was..well...I suppose she was SUPPOSED to be working embroidery but the way she stabbed that fabric and yanked the floss/yarn/thread/whatever I was very surprised it didn't break! I don't know who she was mad at but it certainly looked like she was wishing he/she was the one underneath that needle!
Oh and it was a sampler 'Home Sweet Home'. I wonder how it came out ;0

Yes...I'm along in years enough to remember that show on TV...wonder if you can get the different episodes on You-Tube... Speaking of embroidery on TV....does anyone remember the movie called "The Heiress" with Olivia De Haviland? There was a scene in it where she was doing needlepoint I think....

She did samplers...the huge ones! Looked legit to me...I sort of admired her technique...but don't remember if there were hundreds of them framed on the walls... :)

I was watching some crime show a few years ago (CSI?) about a murder at a dog show. Some lady was always working on her "knitting" but they clearly showed a crocheted granny-square afghan!
I often take needlework with me when going to doctor appointments for my husband, usually canvas work, because I never know how strong the lighting will be. Invariably, someone says how much they love cross-stitch! I'm trying to bite my tongue, but it's getting awfully sore!

Golly, Momcat... Don't you think they are just admiring your "technique"? People forget their glasses, say one thing-mean another...it's a chance to educate! :) Obviously, I just miss my buddies too much--I'm one of those sad people who will talk to a lamp post if it talks to me first! :)

That's one thing I love about needlework, it's so portable! I see people just sitting with their phones glued to their ears or staring at a screen. Why not use the time to be more constructive/creative?? Me, I have my cross stitch bag ready to snatch up at a moment's notice if I'm going someplace I know I'll be sitting for a while!

Well... there are occasions when, on a twilight evening, I'm in my black "Humphrey Bogart" raincoat leaning up against a lit lamp-post located on the corner of quiet street .Of course I only do that when I feel "natty and nervous" that the cross stitch "police" are in the area! LOL! You can talk to me.....on the other hand, you might enjoy talking to the lamp-post I'm leaning against more.....

I remember on All My Children, Ruth Warwick always had real needlework on the go, in a lovely stand frame ..

Oh...and we mustn't forget about the scene in the ORIGINAL "Wuthuring Heights" of Kathy needlepointing? in the living room when Heathcliff showed up at her (and her husband's door) after being gone for years.....

Also the scene in "The Outlaw Josse Wales" where the young dying soldier with Josse talked about how "his daddy" sewed the rose? on his garment but was told not to tell anyone that his daddy had done the sewing....
