Welcome to ChitChat!

Hello everyone. I absolutely want the seed packet sampler pattern in this issue, but am unable to find this magazine in our stores. Does anyone subscribe to this magazine that would be willing to share this pattern with me? Thank you for any help!

Good Saturday morning everyone. Is January over yet? No luck in obtaining the Cross Stitcher Magazine March 2026 issue, but today I'll call Michael's, Barnes and Noble, and our library to see if they have that issue. I haven't given up. I wish Jo Ann's was still in business because they carried that magazine. Not much going on around here, but it's very quiet because of the snow, which is one of the reasons I do like winter. Enjoy your weekend and stay warm if you're in the Northern climes!

I am doing BE MINE? by LES PETITES CROIX and it says on 18ct fabric to stich over two threads but it doesn't say whether it is two or one thread over two threads and doesnt say whether the backstitch is one thread or two

Does anyone else still iron other than to press a finished cross stitch piece? That was my chore for this am. I only do our church clothes and pillow cases, placemats, and table cloths when necessary. Oh, and a doile or 2 once in a while. I quit ironing sheets after we moved back to Ohio 5 years ago. Ironing is a chore I hate🤬 even more than dusting, but it was ingrained into me that there are certain things you just have to iron. My mother was an ironing expert and she lined us 3 older girls up at ages 8,9, 10 one summer and taught us how to iron. Worst summer ever!!😭 Anyone else have horror stories about ironing or something else?

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

I love to knit and crochet during the Fall and winter months...(planning for next Christmas gifts ) But now I am itching to start my cross stitching early. I MUST finish one I started earlier in November and I just ordered another from ECS......I MUST discipline myself and learn to finish what I started first...but OH ...I love that new one coming. Can't wait !!!!!

Great to see you on and well

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