Welcome to ChitChat!

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

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!

Hi maybe it is time we all tell what state we live at.
I live in North Caolina

Good Morning


Leviticus 19: 1 -5


1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying:


2 "Speak to all the congregation of the sons of Israel
and say to them, "You shall be holy, for I the Lord
your God am holy.


3 Every one of you shall revere his mother and his father,
and you shall keep My Sabbaths; I am the Lord your
God.


4 Do not turn to idols or make yourselves cast metal gods;
I am the Lord your God.


5 Now when you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings to the Lord,
you shall offer it so that you may be accepted.


Have A Bless Day!

Good morning! Can anyone recommend an alphabet chart that features script writing as opposed to block letters? I am starting a wedding crossstitch for dd and need the names and date ( which I am adding) to look more elegant.

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.

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

And carnivals, and music, and food, Fiesta is starting here. It runs from April 16 to 26. There is a day parade, night parade, River parade, and even a pooch parade.

The Battle of Flowers parade is the last Friday of Fiesta. There is no school and many businesses close. The next night is the Flambeau parade.

Our kids were in the band, and participated in the Battle of the Bands competition on a Thursday night, then marched in the Battle of Flowers on a Friday. There are so many schools, they rotate every other year.

Several years ago, my husband and I would work with a group selling snow cones and fresh fruit cups along the route of the Battle of Flowers parade. One year, the weather changed at the last minute, and it was incredibly cold. The booth organizers had to pivot, and we sold hot chocolate!

Here is the link to the schedule. Click on a day and a list of events for that day will appear. There are many events throughout the city. It is a happy occasion, and people smile a lot more during this time. No one gives it a second thought if you are out and about wearing a flower crown or a vest covered in Fiesta medals. 😊
