Welcome to ChitChat!

Good morning everyone this Saturday. The mail came late yesterday and I received my cloth, my "Wheel of the Year" pattern, and my World of Cross Stitch magazine! What a delight. I ordered the smaller version of the "Wheel of the Year" and it will be 18x18 when completed on 18 ct. The fabric is mystic gray, which looks like DMC 928. Today is lawn mowing and weeding of the garden and some stitching. Enjoy the day however you choose to spend it.

Good morning everyone! A rare planetary event that won't happen again until 2040 is in the eastern sky. All the planets are lined up in a row. Absolutely stunning! Today is back to the opthamologist to check DH's eye pressure. He has to take these drops now for it and the doctor wants to check if the med is working. Glaucoma runs in his family, so prevention, but no guarantee. Then a stitchy day and making enchiladas. Wishing you all a day full of blessings and light.

Hello, first time posting here. This is my mother's cross-stitch in 2005 I forgot how long she worked on it for, but I remember asking her when i was 6 what she was doing and she said she was making angels to guide you when I die. I found it in a long box with a little water damage. A little cleaning will do the trick. hope y'all have a great day and stay safe.

Today is ……………

Hey y'all!! It's a hot Thursday afternoon, and it's dragging for me....so I thought it might be fun to start a little game, if you will. Where are you stitching from?!?! If you don't want to say the city, just the state, or country. I'd just like to get to know everyone a little better 😊 So I live in Petaluma, CA....I'm about 45mins north of San Francisco. I've lived in the bay area now for about 23 years. GO!!!!

Got this pattern probably 10 years ago and did it up immediately but because of size (27inX15in)Inever got it framed To me it just seemed not suitable for a frame and the price Big sis to the rescue She is the seamstress in the family and has access to fabric stores in the city She found the material which matches the leaves and made a wall hanging for it I had to do the hanger and an old necklace to the rescue Very happy how it turned out The little one on left is also crossStich and the other I painted Love poppies

Recently bought this pattern and noticed it calls for 3 strands on the 14 ct aida. I'm used to using 2 strands . . . has anyone tried 2 strands rather than 3? Or if not, opinions please on how it would work out. Thank you!

Trying hard to finish Ginger and Spice pattern “Great Plains Sampler”, but I’m thoroughly dissatisfied and disappointed in the quality and accuracy of this work. There are so many errors and bad art that I have had to spend so much time redesigning and changing the color key guide that I am not even going to finish the project. I will never buy another product from this company again. I spend too much time and enjoyment cross stitching to be wasting time making corrections on a supposedly professional piece of merchandise.

I want to send a Christmas card to anyone who wants one! Anywhere in the world. Email:pamelastine11@yahoo.com I will not give out anyone's address. This is for my eyes only.

I just found this on a Danish website. I think it’s very beautiful but know I’d never do it so I am just showing it to you.
