Hi, I haven't been on RCTN for several years, but after a long hiatus I'm f inally getting bcak to stitching. I recently moved from the US (West Virgin ia) to central Queensland in AU, and am looking for a LNS. I'm in Middlemou nt (aka Nowhere, LOL), about 1.5 hours northwest of Emerald, and about 3 ho urs from both Mackay & Rockhampton. I did find Needlworx in Mackay, but am wondering what else may be within driving distance. TIA

HI - let me ping Ellice and Donna L, they know everything about the area.
Cheryl
Happy to say hello - quickly - and happy belated holidays. I think a little confusion. As I read this - you've moved from West Virginia to Australia? So, can't help you through my personal knowledge.
But, while I don't want to sound like an ad - I do know that there are active ANG (American Needlepoint Guild) members there, and the Embroidery Guild chapter - which I think is the British group. Plus the RSN has an affiliate. Point being that if you would like, the ANG Yahoo discussion group is open - you don't have to be a member, and you can ask for some info there - one of the members from Australia will easily point you to shops. There are really active stitching groups in the area, and shops - though they may be some distance - but some easier to order from than others.
That's my best suggestion. Seriously - check out the ANG website -
Donna & I have a friend who was teaching in Australia, and I just spoke with another stitching acquaintance in AU, I can ask her - but she's on vacation in the West somewhere.
Not that I'd ever stop coming here - RCTN is for friends, stitching, everything.
Hope that helps. Sorry if it doesn't.
Ellice
Thanks, I'll check them out!

Log into alt.beenz as there are people there (Trish and Aramanth) from Australia and NZ. They might have more info.
Good luck!
