Good Saturday morning everyone. It's cold and clear with an almost full moon in the sky. Tomorrow is the full moon, the quickening moon, as the seeds begin to stir under the earth. Some traditions call it the snow moon. Today we get to stay home and don't have to go anywhere until next week. I need to catch up on dusting and vacuuming and other house chores, but I'll stitch until the sun rises on Gypsies Again and drink coffee. Have a good Saturday everyone.

About a week ago somebody was asking about where to get this type and I just fell over some on ETSY. They’re called Flexi Hoops…….see photo

Today is……..SATURDAY

Good Friday morning everyone. Six more weeks of winter no matter how you look at it. For those in warmer climes like Florida, six more weeks of summer. Today is the monthly stock up shopping and after that I want to pull out Gypsies Again and work on that this month. The turnip is almost finished. The eggplant will be October. Still want some eggplant parmesan, though. Have a good Thursday happy stitching!

Hi - I am doing a DMC pattern for a wedding...my nephew is getting married. Most cross stitches I have done in the past have had a lot of backstitching to do at the end which really made the item pop. This one has none. I am wondering if I am just old school or if I can do the backstitching and if so...how do I decide which colours to use for it? Thanks for the help

These are fun…

Ok..so I want to try my hand at an Elemental Dragon Earth pattern.. problem is...I am not understanding the fabric size when it says only 1/4.. no other sizing on it.. what the heck does this mean...I know the stitch is 115x115...and I feel kinda stupid asking this.. but I am not good with ordering fabric.. the size I am looking to do it on it 20 count aida cause the eyes are not so good anymore.. so can some good folks help me out please!!

are the letters back stitched or normal cross stitches

……in bed. Judy came with this super tip a few years ago……put on your warmest cardigan backwards. It keeps you lovely and warm and when you’re finished reading it’s so easy to remove. Tonight is the first night I’ve needed it this year Judy. Thank you again.
