Welcome to ChitChat!

Good Sunday morning everyone. We are looking forward to the warm-up continuing and we want to install some shelves in the new shed. The snow is continuing to melt and it's hopeless keeping the kitchen floor free of dog prints. The mop is always ready. Still stitching on "Lady" and small project. I got my JCS magazine and am going to stitch the dragonfly pattern for new found niece I've gotten close to since finding my birth family. Anyone who is adopted or has an adopted child, connecting with a birth family can be a very positive experience, but important to go through the social worker where it can be handled professionally and work as a liason for all parties. Those are my thoughts this morning. Have a blessed Sunday.

Happy Valentine's Day Saturday everyone! Friday the 13th was a lucky day with only one mishap. I made a chocolate cake from scratch and the first one I forgot to add sugar. I had to throw it out. The second one was perfect. Other good news is I got my Cross Stitcher magazine with the seed packets! YAY! My sister sent me a cute little plaque with our names on it that says "Sisters" and we talked on the phone for over an hour. I can't wait to meet her in person. Have a beautiful Valentine's Day and a day where you give and receive love.

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

I want to order one of the sayings to cross-stitch. There are two different t prices. One is $9.00 and the other is $26.00. What is the difference? Does the $26.00 include the fabric and thread?

How do you know what is included with each counted cross-stitch?

Thanks!

Good morning!

I'm wondering if I must use linen on a pattern that is shown on linen. I've never done it before and would like to use Aida cloth instead.

Hopefully, someone knows the answer.

Happy Valentine's day!

I am new to caron thread, I am used to DMC floss and Valdani threads size 12. Can you give me a comparison to either of those for Caron thread? Is this a single thread or 3 or 6 ply thread? I noticed you were out of this color and also, #160, are they popular or being discontinued? Thank you

Does anyone know where I can find a cross stitch pattern for a tan and white colored rat terrier dog? A neighbor wants a picture done of her rat terrier. I'm at a loss where to find one.

Thank you
