Providing today's crafter the finest in Cross Stitch Patterns, Kits and Supplies since 2006!

I stitched this pattern twice. Very popular.

I will officially end the WHERE DO WE LIVE CHAT on Friday, October 18th. As I often do, I have bit off more than I can chew. However, I believe that people should not say "somebody should do something unless they are willing to do or at least help do it themselves. Therefore, I stuck thru the challenge. First, I started writing stuff down on notebook paper. Then I started making an Excel spreadsheet. More complicated than I thought it would be. Couldn't read my own handwriting and didn't keep my notes together and organized. Then, after many attempts I came up with an Excel sheet. After I was about 1/2 thru I saved it (of course) and threw away the paper. Then the very next day I deleted it. OY VEY! So, I stated over again and again. So, I am midway thru an Excel spread sheet with three basic columns: Name/sign in; City; State or Country. It is looking very good. NOW THE CHALLENGE. How do I distribute the information? I'm sure most of you are interested or you would not have responded. It is about 100 lines long. Probably inappropriate for the ChitChat. Don't want to mail because that would be a lot of money on postage. ** No more names after October 18th. ** Week of October 20th will spend the following week finishing the data entry and going back and double check all the information. **Week of October 27th -- I will be out of town. **Around November 2nd or 3rd I will post my contact information. **Then I will email interested members a copy of my spreadsheet. After that I will be thru with volunteering NANCYE G

I used 14 count for this project.

Our fall was too short. * * * (your turn)

Someone stole my coke swing from my yard last night. I am heart broken as it was a Christmas gift from my husband a few years ago. They came right in my front yard with my brighter than day porch light on and stole it. How sad is that. I give up.

Sometimes I think that doing line by line while cross stitching is better than using same color all over (where called for). If I do line by line, then I need to have many colored threads all ready with needle to use. So where do I put these threaded needles ? But By doing it this way, I can never lose my place on my chart. Do any of you have any suggestions ? Sometimes there are so many different "like" colors to use, I get confused and irritated. I've been known to just rip up a project and throw it out. The other day, while doing a sunset scene, I got so frustrated that I just wrapped everything up neatly and brought it to my laundry room with a note saying, if you like cross stitch, just take ! I really loved this scene (with palm trees) and I even bought all the floss to go with it. OOOhhh, I am so mad at myself so now I just stick to simple patterns and yes, back to my Granny Squares.

Happy thanksgiving to all the Canadians checking in today!Already burned myself basting the turkey but it sure smells good!!😋🍗

The vet called this morning and Hazel is all good! Tumor biopsy came back negative. Her tumor was due to a hair follicle and she could get others. We just have to get them removed and checked if she develops anymore! Thanks again for all the good thoughts and prayers for her. I truly appreciate it.

Is this chart full cross stitches or are there quarter stitches? Thank you!

I am back to working on my Torch of Freedom project. The stitch count of 199 x 333, 66,267 stitches. I am on row 41 and have only 58,108 stitches to go. Thankfully it is not solid cross stitch across and down. That means the total stitches are even less. I do not like to give up on a project once I have spent as much as i have on fabric and floss. Right now I am wishing OI had never started. How do you keep going on with those very large projects?

can you also add information for this project. Looks like I could make a pillow as well...… thanks.

Is the Aida included in the kit?

In reading instructions and looking at the picture it seems to be using 14ct. white Aida Banded Ornament with Christmas trim item #PFO-CT. IS THAT available? Also. I purchased “All Dolled Up” pattern kits x6. I ordered the Aida recommenced not knowing it is linen over 2 threads. I’m able to see well enough to work on the linen. Is there an alternative.”

Hi, I bought this counted cross stitch in 2001! I've just opened it now and cannot work out where the cross stitch and quarter cross stitches get put in, because in each square of the pattern there is a code for what colour goes in it. The symbol legend on each page of this design states only cross stitch and quarter cross stitch. The rest of it makes sense to me.

Here is a picture I made for friends who RV. It says Home is where the heart is and where you park it
