Today is Saturday ……………………………………………… Good Morning, MJ 💕

Good Easter eve Saturday morning everyone. We need to do a little last minute shopping for our Easter dinner tomorrow night for the homemade dressing and then hopefully we'll have a peaceful weekend. I stitched on "A New Constellation" yesterday and frogged the British flag and the new one looks a lot better. This pattern is definitely a challenge and I would not recommend it for a beginner. I want to finish it by Flag Day on June 14. Have a blessed Easter weekend.

Good Friday morning this Good Friday for those who honor this Easter weekend. I remember the somberness of the statues all covered during Good Friday mass. Bryan and I are considering selling the cottage to move to a quieter location. We have a lot of decisions to make about this move and that's on my mind this morning. I actually couldn't sleep very well last night. Our next door renter neighbors have become absolutely intolerable even with a six foot privacy fence. There are 7 people living there of varying ages and it's very clear they are using substances that make them very aggressive. It saddens me to see this once family neighborhood turn into what it has become. Thanks for listening to my rant this morning, but it's time to move on. Bryan grew up in this house, but sometimes you have to just let it go. Have a good Easter weekend.

We hope your Easter Sunday is filled with love, laughter, and maybe a few sneaky chocolate eggs! We hope you're enjoying some sweet time with family, friends, and (of course) your favorite stitching projects. 🧵💕 Thank you for being part of our stitchy community — we’re so egg-cited to keep creating with you all year long! 🌷✨ ~Kristi @ ECS

Hi all! I know it's out of season, but I've been on the hunt for a vintage pattern the last couple weeks, and I've come to the conclusion that I need help. I'm looking for a 12 Days of Christmas pattern that came from McCall's magazine in 1981, the Christmas issue. The magazine itself has the pattern for the partridge, but you had to mail in for the rest of the instructions, and it seems impossible for me to find it online. Is there a database or something I could look through? Does someone have this pattern and is willing to make a copy for me? Any help will be appreciated; every time I came up with a lead, they were all dead ends. If I can't find the pattern, does anyone know if it's possible to like. Reverse engineer the pattern from a photo of the finished product? Because that's my last resort if so lol. Thanks in advance! Happy Easter!

Today is Good Friday ……………………………………… Good Morning, MJ 💕

I am looking designs from Hillcroft House of various surname coats of arms. Can anyone help me? They DO have to be Hillcroft House designs.

Is this a stamped canvas or is it counted, I'm really knew at this and don't trust myself to start with a blank slate.

I have not posted recently in the first of the month progress chat because of my never ending work on my family genealogy. So I decided now was the time to show you my progress on this Norman Rockwell pattern that I've had for ages and decided now was the time to get it done. I bought this pattern from The Norman Rockwell Museum at Stockbridge, Massachusetts probably around 2000. It's called "Spring Flowers" and was inspired by his wife, Molly, and her love of gardening and flowers. It shows the wall of her garden shed along with an old chair and a basket of flowers and other gardening tools. I'm about 3/4th's of the way down the pattern and hope to have it done in the next couple of weeks. It is 8"x10" on 14ct fabric. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

what are the dimensions of this project?

To finish the ear. It could be a while getting this one done. Forgot how much patience this project requires. This is ‘missed the butterfly” from Heaven and Earth Designs This is my first on 25 count! I think I can keep going…

😀

My prayers go out to all who are injured the families of the dead so very sad and to the mother of the shooter since he used her service revolver. Why people think guns are an answer or they want the 5 minute of fame ñot to me. Too many mass shooting.
