I’m not trying to be rude or dumb smart but we are always hearing that America a very rich country. My question is then why to people have to donate money for ventilators etc. Why can’t the country pay for them? I don’t mean to offend.

Hi I would like to stitch my husband's favourite painting. How can I get a customised coloured pattern on to cross stitch fabric? It would be much easier than having a paper pattern to follow? The pattern is quite detailed so I would like to make it as easy as possible?

This is so beautiful but will have to consider my tolerance for all the confetti, especially stitching the ground. I'm not in a rush for these knowing you all are working remotely and info may not be accessible, or if you are just keeping a list to add supplies at a later time. I have not been here the last several days to see any posts, but would like supplies posted for this one and 2 others to consider for future purchases. The other 2 are Sku 36132 Artecy Mini Sunflower Garden, and Sku 20-1392 Naturally Michigan. Thanks Kristi.

So 2 months into my wip he looks at me and says “what page are you on?” ( I’m impressed he has figured out ‘pages’) I say 2. He asks how many pages in total. I say 16. He rolls his eyes and goes back to tv. Sound familiar to anyone?

Can anyone suggest other designers that are similar to Artecy? I have done six or more of their bird patterns plus a couple of flowers. I like everything about their patterns: easy to follow , only full stitches and they turn out beautiful.

My sister-in-law loves cross stitch but now has macular degeneration. Do you have large sized cross stitch kits that is larger than the standard in most kits?

It's not cross stitch, but I need somebody to listen to me. I'm sewing masks for hospitals, other healthcare professionals, people in isolation because of exposure, whomever. I made two a few nights ago and did pretty well. There's a lot of room for nicer finishing, but the masks serve their purpose and are comfortable. I bought some.. okay a lot of elastic and was all set to do some pleating last night. I could not get the pleats right! I tried for over an hour standing at the ironing board measuring, folding, and ironing, but they would not line up or even come close to fitting three pleats on the mask. How did I sew them so easily three nights ago? I'm one of the few still working so I can't try again until after 5. I'm so frustrated that I keep losing focus, which is really bad considering I'm doing tax returns. Not happy. Thanks for listening.

Isn’t it?

In the Pink, by Suzanne KissPaine Free Crafts When I ordered another pattern, it offered me the chance to purchase the needed supplies. This one doesn't so...?

Guess this nutty virus is going to delay the April Stitchin’ Stuff Box ☹️

I bought this a few months ago on the recommendation from someone on here, possibly VCESS, and since then it has been in my pincushion laughing at me.......until 1/2 hour ago when I discovered that it’s wonderful for frogging one stranded blackwork, but.......WHAT IS IT?
