Nancye, If you find a magazine from the 80's...I think Leisure Arts or For the Love of Cross Stitch...it had 4 different international Santas on a darker background...like Fiddlers Cloth. Looking for it for my DD...it was my second "big" project and I gave it to my mother...DD has treasured it all these years and looked for it when my mom passed away, but it had disappeared. DD was reminiscing about Granny the other night and told of searching for the framed piece, but all of the Christmas decorations were gone...You know how people can be when there is a death. Anyway, if you should stumble on something like it, I would appreciate your thinking of me. Of course I will pay for any mailer and postage or perhaps we could work a trade? Could I perhaps donate a project to your charity? I know it's a long-shot, but I thought, maybe... :)

Do u have one with all the zodiac signs?

VCESS -- Haven't seen what you are looking for but still haven't quite finished looking thru the magazines.

Summerdawn -- Sorry no zodiac signs

Thanks for looking.

Nancye, I appreciate your thoughtfulness. Thank you. :)

CROSS STITCH RESCUE MISSION UPDATE!

This sorting and organizing project is taking over my life. First I sorted and disposed of stuff I didn't want. Then I sorted the cross stitch from other crafts. I was able to give a box of quilting magazines to a local Quilting Guild. I know those patterns will have a good home.

Then I started sorting cross stich patterns by subject (e.g. baby, sports, flowers, etc.) Well that was okay. Then, I decided to make up a spreadsheet so that I would have a list of patterns to share with all of you.

So, after I entered most of the patterns, I decided to alphabetize the worksheet. Now, I am have a list of the patterns by name! However, I didn't use a category column so now I will start resorting the patterns by the order they are on the spread sheet!!!!

OY VEY -- how did I get myself into this mess?!?! AND I DO MEAN MESS!!

Oy vey, is right, Nancye, I'm getting a headache just reading your post! Do it by designer, alphabetically.

If someone is looking for Lavender and Lace, all you have to do is go to the Ls, etc. I had no idea that you also have quilting patterns. So much to do, so little time.

Speaking of time, gotta run.

Good luck. Can't DH help?

What a great labor intensive project to have.
I have been following your posts on this project, & it sounds amazing! Just think of how organized it will all be when you get it done!! Hi y are one lucky cross stitcher!!!!
