Or is it only for patterns purchased from ECS?

Today is Sunday ……………………………………………….. Good Morning, MJ 💕

Here are my Colorado State Fair entries. Pics are not great as the glass display cases and lighting made it difficult to get good shots. The house cross stitch is my in-laws actual house. The overalls are from an upcycled bed sheet.

My son paid $50. yes, $50 for a cake yesterday. Outrageous !!! He thought the lady said $15 and was too embarassed to say "never mind"....OMG ..well yes, it was delicious but so is my home made (cake mixes ) I make. (for under $5 ) wow, crazy. This is our neighborhood bakery here where I live. Can't believe they're still in business for many years here. I heard that this was a "high end" bakery but never ventured in there .....now I know .....Shoprite has fabulous cakes for $12....and they ARE good !

In you, Lord my God I put my trust. Psalm 25:1 NIV Prayer: Lord in deed I must put my sole trust in you. Help me remember that in the days and weeks to come.

I can see by your posts, Pam, that you are a cat lover! Here are a few pics of our fur babies we rescued a year ago in May. Pearl left and Pepper right.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Pam! The hardest part of loving our fur babies is having to say goodbye. 😪

I'm doing perpetual calendars for my 2 sisters-in-law with cross stitch. I am so excited because I've never tried it before! Got the 'base' of the first one done. Little disappointed with the adhesive mounting board I got from Amazon. It's lifted in a few spots, but the rest is really stuck on. Tried using a blow dryer to reactivate the glue in those spots, but didn't work. I ordered the Pres On boards from here for the second one. I used them several years ago for other cross stitch projects, and they have been great! Anyway, here's a Pic of the first one:

Hello friends! This morning I received this email from ECS announcing that DMC is raising their prices starting September 1. I wanted to pass this news along in case some folks do not receive the newsletter. This will help in planning orders in August. Picture is attached.

I just noticed the sew and tell section! I've been putting my pics on the wrong chat board!🤭

You’ve ever found a “lost” needle? I found this one in a slipper last night…it was in that space between the inner sole, and the side….its not a color I’m using currently….so it’s been there for a minute…

Good Saturday morning everyone. Fall is definitely in the air and I'm loving it. Spent most of the day outside stitching on "Harvest Basket". I'm changing the leaves and using variegated DMC floss to make the border more colorful. I think I'll be outside again today to enjoy this weather. Have a good weekend and enjoy what you like best!
