Welcome to ChitChat!

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

Happy New Years all i hope you have a wonderful night

so it turn out to be Alzheimer's she has so thats another reason i havent been on much

Happy New Year's Eve Wednesday morning everyone! It will be pj's, movies, and stay at home. The roads aren't in good shape here with the snow. What are some of your New Year's Day menu favorites? We're having brats and sauerkraut (Bryan's idea) because he says it's good luck for a new year. We're going to go through our blessing jar and I'm going to read the 365 days of gratitude I wrote every day. I'm keeping that tradition. Have a safe new year's eve and a happy Wednesday.

We’re getting ready to ring in the New Year — confetti, cozy vibes, and maybe a few stitches in between! 🎉🧵 We will be closed on New Year’s Day so our team can enjoy the celebration and welcome 2026 with a little rest and sparkle. We’ll be back to normal operations on January 2nd.

Myself (Kristi @ ECS) will be out of the office on the 2nd and will return on Monday, the 5th. I will be able to respond to any board posts at that time.

While we’re closed, phones and order fulfillment will be paused, and emails sent to customer service may have a delayed response as our staff enjoys the holiday too.

But don’t worry — our website will stay open, ready for all your browsing, planning, and “new year, new project” inspiration!

Wishing you a bright and joyful start to the year! May your 2026 begin with happy moments, fresh ideas, and plenty of beautiful stitches ahead. ✨🥂💛

I LOVE this pattern! A great message! Has anyone stitched this, and can you recommend alternate colors, such as with variegated type floss (Weeks Dye Works, etc.), and a color for the fabric? I haven't stitched in a while, and don't completely trust my ability to wing it and have it come out looking good, lol. Thanks, and Happy New Year!!!

I LOVE this design and the colors used, but the fabric used for the model seems a bit dark. Has anyone stitched this on a different color fabric, and how did you like the results? Thanks, and Happy New Year!
