Welcome to ChitChat!

Good Saturday morning everyone. Today it's supposed to get up to 71 degrees and it will be another day with a lot of time spent outside. Bryan on the mend, but still no test results. They said it could take up to a week to find out. I'm almost finished with the JCS dragonfly pattern and then the backstitching. It's meatloaf tonight as we're still doing soft foods and he's craving something with hamburger in it. Have a good Saturday and weekend.

Everyone —

We want to take a moment to reset expectations for the Chit Chat board.

This space exists so our customers can relax, share their projects, and enjoy being part of the cross stitch community. It is not a place for personal attacks, ongoing arguments, or political debates.

We are a small team focused on providing great products and customer service. We simply do not have the time or resources to monitor and manage repeated conflicts between members.

Going forward, posts that include personal attacks, name calling, or inflammatory or political content will be removed. Continued behavior like this may result in loss of posting privileges.

We value all of our customers and want this to be a welcoming, enjoyable place for everyone. Please help us keep it that way.

Thank you,
Troy

Hello: I am on a mission to complete all of my very old projects from the late 80's-90's. Sorry for the well worn pattern. In the 1st image of the Abundance pattern, it shows that the finished size, on 22 count should be 9 3/4th x 2 5/8th. The total stitches is 213 W and 52H.
I am using 25 count linen. I am adding 3 " border and 2" finishing. When I use the online calculator, is shows that I need 17 " canvas for the finish project and 27 for my allowances.
I am confused as to why, if I am using a higher thread count, why do I need so much canvas? Especially since the pattern says the finished project is 9 3/4th x 2 3/8th. Help! What am I missing. Thank you in advance.

Where would ya like to go on a pretend vacation?
I would love to go to Isreal. But it is not safe now.
Then I tough about Scotland.

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

How much floss does the kit have in it? Are they full skeins or is it just enough to do the project? I'm trying to build my colors back up after unfortunate events led to all of mine being lost. I'm not sure if I should get the kit (I know they use DMC!), or the pattern and my own supplies.

Matthew 26: 1 - 13


1 When Jesus had finished all these words,
He said to His disciples,


2 "You know that after two days the Passover
is coming, and the Son of Man is to be handed
over for crucifixion,"


3 At that time the chief priests and the elders of the
people were gathered together in the courtyard
of the high priest named Caiaphas;


4 and they plotted together to arrest Jesus covertly and kill Him.


5 But they were saying, "Not during the festival, otherwise a riot
might occur among people."


6 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, at home of Simon the Leper,


7 a woman come to Him with an alabaster vial of very expensive
perfume, and she poured it on His head as He reclining at the
table.


8 But the disciples were indignant when they saw this, and said,
"Why this waste?


9 For this perfume could have been sold for a high price and the
money given to the poor."


10 But Jesus, aware of this said to them, "Why are you bothering
this woman? For she has done a good deed for Me.


11 For you always have the poor with you; but you do not always have
Me.


12 For when she poured this perfume on My body, she did it
to prepare Me for burial.


13 Truly I say to you wherever this gospel is preached in the
whole world, what this woman has done will also be told
in memory of her."


Have A Bless Day!
