Wonderful! Thanks! Off hand, can you tell me whether this book is for needlepoint, x-stitch or both? I work in both myself, but I think the original poster was interested in strictly needlepoint. I have this book also, and Barbara is right! A lovely book. And in its introduction there is a small soliloquy on what stitching means to us and

I just bought two kits (linen fabric & DMC floss-already separated) last month from Scandinavian Designs. They have since become a "Wholesale Only" business, but I’m sure if you do a search for the name you should find them & then could order from your LNS. There are also things called "Tabletoppers" that come from a web site that has a Dutch theme. You might do a search on Deja News for these too. I think that’s where I originally came accross the URLs. I’ve already decided that my three sisters are each getting tabletoppers for birthdays & Xmas next year! Hopefully, by January the Precision Sheet Metal business will be doing well enough for me to have S.E.X. without guilt.
