When I'm really worked up about something, I most often just sit in stunned silence.. except when I have a keyboard apparently. I have to be reading too much into this or something. I visited the HAED minis page only to see yet more highly complicated heirloom pieces. Somebody on here said I should write to them and ask for a smaller pattern, so I did. I got this response, "We do have a few in the Petite category but there are very few designs that would look good at 5x7 sadly." Excuse me? Am I supposed to spend years of my life using hundreds of colors and going through page after page in the pattern for something to "look good?" Would not a 5x7 close up of, say, a cat's face look stunning using their design techniques if it was just snipped out of a very large pattern? Couldn't she have said few designs would have the same effect at 5x7? Am I less of an needlework artist because I choose to stitch smaller patterns so I can embellish them with beads and specialty floss? I'm sorely tempted to put my other projects on hold now, buy a HAED pattern, snip out a 5x7 section, and show her that stunning beauty does not require a 25-page pattern or have to take up a quarter of a wall to hang it. Sorry. I was sitting in stunned silence a little there. I am really hurt and discouraged.

Who every said BEAR😊. I received pattern today and I ciukd not tell what it was till I read the back and it said a little bear admiring the snow! It's very cute!

I've started stitching this beautiful picture. I've started in the upper left hand corner and I'm trying to decide what is the best way to work the White areas of the Hat and Beard. I'm stitching it on White fabric.

Has anyone begun whittling down their cart before final check-out tomorrow? I did a serious double-check and decided some things could wait. However, the fear also is that an item may be discontinued before I can get it. Decisions, decisions. But this will be my H's gift to me, though he doesn't yet know! Happy stitching, y'all! Barb

Great job on the 12 days of Christmas!!! Hope you do it again next year! Got my box!!!

What a DARLING Christmas Sentiment! (in the stitchnstuff box) I love it. Thank You!! Fellow chatters and readers, I think we should post a picture of how we finish this, whether a tree ornament, an addition to a basket or holiday display, etc.

Changed a couple colors here and there.

Not sure how I didn't come across this pattern before now. I was looking up St. Nicholas and this came up in the search too. I collect angels and have started the Jim Shore Winter Angel. It is a WIP. Has anyone done this one?

A special Stitch’ Stuff Box.😄😄

I love a lot of the Artecy projects, but I've never seen what the grafs look like. If someone has one could you post a picture of the chart for me? And was wondering also how many pages of charts are usually in the project? TIA, retired nana

is there a supply list for this?? and do you sell the items that are needed?

What are your childhood Christmas memories? I will start. It is hard to pick just one but if I must it would be the train platform my dad would put up in the living room. He would have about three sets going in opposite directions and all the houses and people and cars etc in the middle of the board. He had it set up with light switches so us kids could easily run the trains by just flipping the switches. I can hear them going around the track right now as I close my eyes. Long for that sound. It saddens me that he said one of the biggest things he missis being in Florida besides PA is his trains. He must have some fond memories too!

My artist friend will be in Hance Park this weekend for a craft show. I wish I lived closer.

it says to use 28ct White Jobelan . Can it use 14 ct Aida? Also do you sell Christmas hanger for Christmas banner?
