Just Incase.

Hi i found my work after a few years. Because of illness i put itaway for a long time. Today i wanted to start again but i am missing the discription. Everything is complete but i dont know wich stiches to use on the different flowers. Can someone help me please

and you have a project with a lot of confetti, it can be a pain trying to visually relocate your place on the fabric such as when you take your eyes off the area ie.to rethread your needle, go to the bathroom, etc. I found that if I have to look away, then with my threaded needle I will stitch the first ‘leg’ of my X, will bring the needle up through the hole to begin the second ‘leg’ of The X, but will leave the needle sticking up in the fabric in the LAST hole to complete the ‘X’. With all the multiple confetti colors in the pattern, it helps me relocate my place. Anyone have other methods they use on ‘confetti’ projects?

I’m sure that we’ve all had this from time to time.....some more serious than others. I’d like to pick your brains for home or across the counter remedies that have worked for you.

Let's write a community story. Please contribute 5 (and only 5) words to the story. You can use punctuation as needed. The story will be easier to read/follow if the post only has the 5 story words. I'll start with the first post.

I just sent a chat so this is my P. S . TO THAT ONE. I just ordered Elephant Baby 1341 for $ 13.95. Does the kit include the thread and printed picture on the fabric? My order number is 832024. Thanks Judy

Does a kit includes the printed pattern and the thread?

This is my latest WIP ( work in progress)... what are y’all working on? I’d love to see some pics. I set a goal for myself to do at least 200 stitches a night... so far I’m on track. Lol

I have quite a lot of dmc cross stitch thread. I store them in the floss away bags. Currently, I am using recipe boxes with dividers, but would like something bigger. What do you use to store your floss away bags of floss in? I was thinking of using those photo boxes, I found some at Michael's for $2.99 the other day. The only problem is that there is no adjustable follower block (the little slide guide to keep the bags upright). What would you use to hold up the bags? Could you make one of those blocks? If so, how would you go about making one? Any information would be helpful.

This may be controversial. I just discovered Etsy. I mean I knew there was an Etsy but did not know if they were just like Ebay. Anyhow, looking at the different cross stitch patterns, I see there are so many with such despicable language. I just can't imagine hanging some of those patterns much less stitching them. We live in a free country with free speech which is as it should be. However, it just amazes me that with all the words in the dictionary that we have available to us, certain words are just how shall I say-DISGUSTING. I honestly would like some input and, yes, I am a prude about language. Words matter. Pam

My earring. Thought I’d be fancy today and wear my fancy earrings. Well, while screwing on the back of one I managed to wrap a few hairs around it, trying to undo it made it worse. Had to cut the wayward hairs off to get the earring out of my ear. That’ll teach me.

What do you do when you give someone a piece of your work of art (which really was beautiful and framed professionally, )and every time you visit their home, you never see it? Should you ask "where is it ?" or just ignore it. First time I visited their home, it was propped up by the kitchen sink. After that, I never saw it again. It was a Welcome piece with the words in French (Bon Venue) with a beautiful lavender background. Maybe they didn't like the colors ? The design ? the size ? It was a normal size. Maybe someone out there has see the piece. I would like to purchase another for myself. Don't know. Wish I had kept that one for myself. I'm hurt.

I ordered and received the above pattern several years ago. When I received it, I was having eye problems at the time, so I put everything away. I decided to get things back out now that my eyes are better, and I have everything except for the legend that gives the colors and their symbol. Can anyone help me?

Question: Do any of you give cross stitch gifts to stitchers who cross stitch? Question:Do you ever worry that you (as a stitcher) will be judged on either the cross stitch or the finishing? I have to admit that I, as a stitcher worry that, if a fellow stitcher saw my work, that he or she would judge me and find me wanting. Do any of you feel the same way? Pam
