Welcome to ChitChat!

Good Monday morning everyone and welcome to a brand new week. Spring has arrived with temps in the 70's and low 80's and slept with the windows wide open. Time for shorts and flip flops. I actually stitched outside yesterday in spite of the wind and finished the marigold on my seed packet pattern. Today we decided to bbq some baby back ribs on the grill. Looking for a good week ahead.

What is a "leaflet pattern" versus a downloadable" pattern?#

Will this pattern become available again? I really would like this as it looks exactly like the boxer I just lost

I don’t understand how to stitch the light grey stems, star bursts and flowers pictures below. I’ve never seen wavy lines like this. Help!

Hi everyone! I'm excited to start chatting with you all. I've been lurking but never posted. I feel my cross stitch addiction would be relatable here and wanted a semi-private group of fellow stitchers to interact with. My name is Andria and am working on my 3rd project for the year after a 30+ year hiatus. Could be more years than that but I didn't want to do the math and lately I can only count as far as ten stitches. 😉 I'd say I'm very much invested in this hobby, surfing this site everyday for what's new and what's on sale. My stash of projects to do is growing fast. I LOVE all the patriotic patterns and currently working on the Red, White and Bloom as in my picture here. Looking forward to getting to know all of you. I find that cross stitching is very therapeutic for me and helps my anxiety, even if it contributes to my insomnia. 🫪 I hope my first post is appropriate and I didn't break any first-post rules by not posting on a dedicated "thread". Ha! Thanks for having me! ~Andria🪡

Good morning, Kristi!🌞
Question about SKU1205. It’s a Jeanette Douglas design. Is the price so high because it’s a book of several designs?

Good Morning!

First off I want to thank you all for answering my question yesterday, as for me I have a few projects I have done for a friend, a bunch for me that are mostly in storage container with one hanging and one I made for my brother, and a couple I had done for my mom but I now have.

We are having beef stir fry today I love it! And then back to stitching on the cardinal.
Already 61 degrees and muggy going up to 80 yuck I am a fall person.

Good Monday Morning!

Hope everyone had a great weekend ! Was a hot and really muggy here I am more of a fall person, but I did get a bunch of stitching in on the cardinal. Suppose to get some nasty storms later today around 4pm . Have a great week!
