Looking for this religious/Mary/Our Lady xstitch…
Hello! I am hoping someone will recognize this pattern or the style of it so that I can find the manufacturer. That’s all! Thank you.

Silk threads
Need some input from all of you. A cross stitch I want to do calls for all silk threads. The designer lists the DMC also, however she states the finished project won’t look anywhere near as good as the silk threads. So, has anyone done a pattern with only the silk floss? Did you like the floss and the project when completed? Is the silk floss worth the money? Is it difficult to work with? Thanks everyone for any and all input🥰

rogue stichery patterns
hi everyone. i have been stitching for 35 years or more and have stitched a lot of the bigger and complicated patterns as well as bookmarks etc. i just finished a pattern by rogue stitchery called book lover and it was a challenge with a whole lot of quarter stitches. quite challenging. however when i started a patten called balloons i finally gave up. so many quarter stitches and the pattern was hard to read. the centering stitch was way off and the pattern was to be read left to right but the symbols were up and down. i am filing this pattern and will not buy their patterns again. someone else may find them delightful but i didn't.

bookmarks
How do you finish the back side of the bookmark, where all the threads are. I'm making one on 14 count fabric and want to try another one on the perforated plastic type material.

Christian Stitchers Daily 8/10/25
But you God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless. Psalm 10:14 NIV
Prayer: Father in heaven, when evil is prevalent, when life is difficult, and hope is hard to find among the mess, I know that our Lord is still on His throne and in charge of all.

My thoughts on business
I just posted this on Instagram. I know at least a few of you are on business adventures so here's what I think that might help you: The three most important activities involved in business are staying hydrated, eating energizing food, and going to bed early. I borrowed that last one from Benjamin Franklin. A limp, lethargic, exhausted businesswoman is not going to be efficient and accurate. A head for business and wise decisions will follow when you take care of yourself. Isn't my turtle key chain a dear friend crocheted for me adorable? Another must for business, knowing someone cares about you and supports you as you reach for goals. I'm SewnBlessings2015 if you want more random thoughts.

GOOD MORNING - What's on your mind SUNDAY
Good Sunday morning everyone. Beautiful full Sturgeon moon! Our zucchini must have heard me because now we have three! The tomatoes -- not so good. The heat wave continues and fall can't get here soon enough. Today will be a stitching day and listening to music. Hope everyone has a relaxing and peaceful Sunday!
