Back of Work
I read an article a couple of days ago about the back of our cross stitch. It said that stitchers should not worry so much about the back and to just have fun. This includes travelling and knots. I have been OCD about the back of my work wanting it to look as neat as my front. How does everyone else feel about it? I know that no one is going to see it and I am not stitching for posterity. I just need to know if others are meticulous about the back or should I "loosen" up. Pam
Need Help!
I've only stitched Dimension Kits so far and they are so easy to follow I love doing them. But I have built up such a huge collection of left over floss I decided to purchase a few patterns only from ECS. Well they arrived this week and the description for floss is another language to me! So I'm asking for help from my clever friends. The floss used is DMC# and some colors have letters after them.
Coral-MD Coral-LT Brown-MD Brown-VY LT Orange Spice-MD. etc etc.etc.
All the floss I've accumulated are Dimensions so it will take me a while to convert the chart to DMC so this is going to be a challenge. At least they are only fairly small projects - about 6" x 8". So please tell me if you know what the letters mean.
My daughter in law is a keen quilter so this is one of the pieces I am going to do for her. Should be fun cross stitching a patchwork pattern.
Pure Love

Happy Saturday

Aaaargh
Does anyone else suddenly have to sign in every time? This began yesterday.😡
Roses to all
Just wanting to send everyone a lovely bunch of roses. I think we really need them about now. (This bush is at least 60 years old and still producing many, many, many blooms.) Enjoy all. Diane

Changing the gender
I’m going to stitch this for a Cowgirl theme gift basket, so I am going to add long hair to the upper left cowboy figure and change the word “cowboy” to “cowgirl!” 😁

With heartfelt thanks
A year ago today my lovely husband died. For some reason that I shall never understand because I used to be a very private person, I came on here and told you.
The replies and comfort I received from you my friends.....because you are friends now, was unbelievable, astounding and magnificent! I never believed that total strangers (no longer) could give me so much meaningful solace. You gave me a soft place to come to where I could relax in your company. I can’t say thank you enough.
