GOOD MORNING - What's on your mind FRIDAY

Good Friday morning everyone. I got my 250th anniversary kit in the mail yesterday and can't wait to start it. Here's my question, though. When using light effects DMC floss do you use one strand or two? I have never stitched with that type of floss before. Today we get to try one of the rib eye steaks we got at the meat market yesterday on the grill. Steak is a once a month treat in our house. Still stitching on the seed packets and then on to the Americana kit. Have a fabulous Friday and upcoming weekend!

Different sizes of linen

I have some linen fabric I can't use. I hate it to go waste, I'm 68 years young and it's difficult for me. So if anyone is interested let me know. A few pieces are big some medium sized and small. It's 20.00

Q-snap vs hoop

So I've always been a fan of Q-snaps, but now I am finding them getting heavy and harder to hold for long periods of stitching. I'm finding that I set my stitching aside far sooner than I'd like. I am considering switching to a hoop, and am interested in the Nurge rectangular hoop. My question is how long can you leave your work in the hoop without leaving "hoop marks". I tend to do cover-all patterns, so my work stays in place for 4-6 weeks at a time before I reposition it. I would really appreciate some advice. Thanks.

28 count Cashel Linen

After an absence of about 15 years from stitching, i have taken it up again and loving it!

I have 3 old patterns that I am wanting to start but cannot find the fabric that was used.

They are:
28 Count Natural Cashel Linen
28 Count Olive Green Cashel Linen
28 Count Dirty Linen Cashel Linen

Are these no longer available, and if not can you recommend a similar substitute?

So glad that I found your website and looking forward to hearing from you real soon?

Kind regards,
D'Ann Holk

Charms

Does anyone know of a good place that I can get a clip on small witch on a broom and a bat charm? I have very small frames (2x2) I want to attach them too. Thanks

Everyone

Good morning everyone! Hope this finds everyone in good spirits today. Just finished baking my Caramel Chocolate Bars, they are so good caramel, chocolate, coconut and German chocolate cake mix, and evaporated milk and margarine.
Going to do some stitching after dishes. Have a wonderful day!
