Just HATE it when life gets so busy with duties, doctor appointments, etc. that it causes ‘Stitch-sis Interrupt-us’?

I’m really hoping that I did the Cardinal right so far. I chose to stitch it on Light Oatmeal fabric.

Are the patterns pdf or will they have to be mailed?

Hi guys!! I am back!! I survived the slopes on Friday and had the best time!! Didn't even fall once :) I had to take a sick day yesterday (Monday) so I wasn't able to come back on and get things answered like I had planned to. So sorry about that and I hope things didn't get too rowdy during my absence ;) Lol! I am back today with cough drops and tea all ready to go, lol! Not 100% but feeling better. Thanks for covering things for me while I was gone....really appreciate it! ~Kristi @ ECS

I have the pattern from this kit. Have done one and want to do a 2nd. Can I purchase only the yarn for the project?

The water in this blackwork is making havoc with my eyes. I’m sewing happily along and suddenly the pattern seems to move and I have to put it away and work on something else. Unfortunately there is a lot of water.

Stopped at Lowe’s this morning in the garden section to pick up some plant food I’ll need this Spring. Heard someone talking and laughing a small distance away from me (my back was turned). The talking and laughing kept on at least a few minutes and sounding like it was from the same person, so I turned around and looked. There was this petite elderly woman with a chihuahua tied to her Lowe’s cart, looking at items on the shelves, throwing her arms about , talking and doing a little dance in the aisle....... She must’ve found what she was looking for....

I was wondering what the actually dimensions of this pattern is once it is actually finished. Like in inches or feet

I can always find what I am looking for at a good price.

I'm working on the pink flowers bookmark as seen in the picture and here https://www.everythingcrossstitch.com/elegant-bookmarks-2-mrp-p5572.aspx?k2=e1 I'm almost done, but I'm confused about the edges. You see, the kit comes with material you have to cut up, fold, and make the edges yourself. However, I don't know when you're supposed to do the edges (the pattern calls for a stitch called turkey work, which I haven't done before, but it seems to be only "half" of turkey work, as you don't cut it and the loops are much smaller). Do you do it before you cut the material? After you fold and glue? Thank you, in advance.

How are the goats?

My football and baseball careers are over, but I got my right arm unfrozen and finished my last PT session today. Welcome back Mr. Right Arm, glad to see you back after our late October 2019 ‘Sure, I can pick up that bucket full of water and carry it 50 feet” fest! Didn’t stop me from stitching though....😁

Hello everyone, The picture attached is of the RTO kit I am eagerly awaiting. Should I complete her on the black 14 Count Aida provided or some black 28 Count Evenweave/linen that I have tucked away.... Any preferences?

Last night I watched Mary, Queen of Scots. I thought it was very good. I could have done without some of the scenes but they were quick and not too terribly bad. Anyway, I thought it was well done. I did some reading on her this morning and felt the movie did a decent job of portraying her life and death. Not sure what is next. I am thinking maybe the 1998 movie Elizabeth with Cate Blanchett or maybe Downton Abbey. Also, I might pick up where I left off with Madame Secretary and rewatch season 4 and start the last season also. Reading history also, both fictionalized and not. I am currently reading Killing Kennedy by Bill O'Reilly and also simultaneously reading The Inner Circle by Brad Meltzer. Both are very good reads so far.

Another quilt finished, this one is for my Third Great Grandchild. Baby Hazel, have two more to do before end of summer, best get busy! Have a super day stitchers ..........Julie
