Welcome to ChitChat!

I love to knit and crochet during the Fall and winter months...(planning for next Christmas gifts ) But now I am itching to start my cross stitching early. I MUST finish one I started earlier in November and I just ordered another from ECS......I MUST discipline myself and learn to finish what I started first...but OH ...I love that new one coming. Can't wait !!!!!

Good Saturday morning everyone. Is January over yet? No luck in obtaining the Cross Stitcher Magazine March 2026 issue, but today I'll call Michael's, Barnes and Noble, and our library to see if they have that issue. I haven't given up. I wish Jo Ann's was still in business because they carried that magazine. Not much going on around here, but it's very quiet because of the snow, which is one of the reasons I do like winter. Enjoy your weekend and stay warm if you're in the Northern climes!

Great to see you on and well

Hello -

My daughters are wanting me to make them Christmas table runners for them, so I'm going to give it a try.

Two questions:
1. I see that there are threads that are more expensive than others. Does it make a big difference which ones you use?

2. I have a pattern I want to use; I have the fabric I want to use as well. But how do I get the pattern transferred to the fabric? Or, do I count our every stitch I make (it's going to be cross-stitch and embroidery)?

Thanks for any help you can give me!!

Good Friday morning everyone. No more snow overnight and a warm up to 35 today. I am still happily stitching on my spring cardinals and today it will be backstitching. I break a pattern into quarters and backstitch when I finish a quarter. I wouldn't like to do all that backstitching all at once. First the kitchen and bathroom floors need it and then I can settle down to stitching a new series we're watching/listening called "Nightmare Next Door". Have a fabulous Friday friends.
