Welcome to ChitChat!

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

It has been a while. I would say a couple years since I’ve been on this chitchat. It was nothing personal to anyone. I just had a job that allowed me to be on my computer doing the chitchat and then when I left that job I wasn’t able to be on it as much. I don’t know if all of any of you remember me, lady J also known Jacquie. When I first started on this chat board many years ago I remember telling everyone about my puppies, Hazel and Hunter. Well they just both turned nine on July 10, 2026 but sadly, Hunter was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer although he was on chemo for about two months. We lost him the other day August 5, 2026. I wanted to let you guys know because a lot of you might remember him and I will try to put a picture of him up on this page. I will try to post more and read more of everyone else’s post. I’m glad to be back.

A couple of weeks ago we went to Peterborough Cathedral. It’s a short 20 minute train ride from where we live. There’s a a section Catherine of Aragon didn’t realise she introduced cross stitch to the UK 🤷🏻‍♀️ there’s a cross stitch picture of her no information who did that. As I was walking around I noticed a group of ladies working on a cross stitch project. It will be a replica of the long ceiling. It’s rolled up on the scroll frame and is actually tent stitch on 18 count Adia it’s taken a group of 20 ladies 8 years to complete. It’s should be finished by mid September. Once it’s been framed and decided where best to hang it to preserve it inside the cathedral then the Bishop will come and do the honours. It’s open to the public so hopefully I will be able to go.! I hope everyone has an enjoyable day.

Hello everyone! It's the beginning of a new month, time to turn the calendar to August and to share what we've been stitching on over the past few weeks.

Share a photo and brief description (name of pattern + designer or publisher) of what you've worked on or have recently finished. If you're not able to post photos or prefer not to, just tell us in words!

Happy Stitching!

Good Sunday morning everyone. Yesterday I thoroughly cleaned our bedroom and took down the camo curtains and washed them. They are now hanging in the hobby room with all of Bryan's hunting stuff. I truly needed a change of scenery in there! Buddy was laying on the bed with that quizzical Dachshund face like what the heck are you doing? He kept bringing me toys. Today is a short shopping and stuffed peppers with the peppers from Patrick's. I see the finish line in sight with "Autumn Cardinals", too. Have a serene Sunday!

Good Saturday morning everyone. The new mattress will be here Thursday and I found a comforter, pillow shams and curtains that will also be here Thursday. We also bought a ramp so Buddy and Poppy can get up on the new bed easily. Now for a pillow that will be comfy and no more waking up with a migraine or stiff neck. It doesn't happen every day, but when it does it's from sleeping wrong. Any suggestions on a comfy pillow for side and back sleepers? Today is a thorough cleaning of the bedroom and stitching on and off in between chores. Have a super Saturday!

Will there be anymore stitching boxes that be available for 2026
