Remember a few weeks ago I said my daughter asked me to make a stitching with: "Whatever. I'm still Fabulous". Well, here it is. I hope it shows up because it is stitched on black Aida with purple, gold, red, and silver. It is small 6.5 x 6.5 inches. I don't think I'll use black Aida again...too hard to see. I used Pinoy Stitch pattern called "Witchy Woman" but, of course, changed the words.
A few of you shared good opinions on whether this was a good idea for my daughter; whether it would help with her healing. I went with mcleodjt's message, " maybe she'll look at it every day and smile." If it turns out to be a sad reminder, I hope she puts it away.
As usual, you all gave good advice: xstitcher and Texas Stitcher told me about Thread Heaven, maubennett told me about the alphabet books. I also learned s-floss is silk, not satin!
This Chat Room is a great resource, also a place to share our good times and not-so-good times, our accomplishments and goofs!
You gals (guys) are a stitch...pun intended. I laughed at the responses to the advice using vodka & water to get out creases in the stitching.
Many thanks to all of you...happy stitching!
