Trying to remember the name of a catalog for cross stich, canvaswork supplies, etc.?

It's not Nordic Needle ... trying to remember the name of a catalog I used to order from years ago. They sold kits, supplies, books for canvaswork, cross stitch, hardanger, etc. I specifically remember some canvaswork patterns that were quilt like in various colors, patterns. It's also not Mary Maxim or Herschnerrs. Does anyone have any idea of what it might have been?
Those are good ones but not what I was trying to find. It was over 5 yrs ago so maybe whoever they were don't exist anymore. I really like Jean Hilton designs. Only did 1 small hardanger piece but would like to learn & try more of that.

Possibly:
Yarn Tree http://www.yarntree.com
The Stitchery http://www.thestitchery.com/
Keepsake Needle Arts http://www.keepsakeneedlearts.com/

Other than that, I can't think of any others that are still around...

What designer are you looking for? I do some canvaswork myself and the two designers who do 'quilt-type' designs are Laura Perin and Debbie Draper. (You can find a lot of their designs and supplies on the Nordic Needle site as well.

Hope this helps!

Modern Shed - ideal for pursuing your favorite hobby!

Having a hobby you enjoy doing, an interest or occupation on which you spend a few hours over weekends, or longer if you are a retired person, is one of the blessings of life. If you are a busy, working person, having a relaxing hobby which you enjoy pursuing could provide you with that much needed relaxation and de-stressing to restore and soothe your nerves and recharge your batteries! Now, what do you think of installing one of those attractively designed modern sheds that are available now days, in your backyard or garden?

May be painting is your passion, or it may be craft, sewing and dress making, crochet, knitting, embroidery, creating quilts, carpentry, furniture making, …. having a little nook of your own, tucked away from the house in a corner of the garden, the modern shed, with its elegant look and sturdy wooden build, could be your haven and refuge.

You are bound to have heaps of extra supplies, too, to go with your favorite hobby and passion; who can resist a sale on some beautiful fabrics or yarns, which you would love to stock up on now, to be used up later? These are bound to clutter up your home or bedroom, get in your way, making people trip on them, or overflow from your existing storage space. Why not have a separate space for them altogether, away from the house, to be stored and stacked neatly on shelves in that shed you have just acquired after much planning and thought, now proudly standing in your backyard.

Since such a large variety is available these days in different designs, you might find it difficult to take a decision on which type of shed is right for you. Always go in for a wooden shed, because natural wood is the best material, being tough, durable, healthy, light and the easiest to construct. You can add your own custom touches to your modern shed, select the type of paint and the color that you want, or you can add windows, veranda, shutters or flower box according to your wishes. Another benefit of good quality wood is that it can remain in its original state; this will add a lovely, natural feel to your garden or backyard.

To spare yourself the headache of having to select from a large variety of models, you can choose a model that combines everything. There are some models that can be used for any purpose, be it for storage, a playhouse, or a garden shed.

Since these sheds are also very attractively priced, you needn't wait indefinitely to have your very own, private nook, to enjoy hours of peace and contentment pursuing your hobby.
