I need to know the dimensions and # of stitch’s for this item. I do not see it in the item description. Thank you

I saw this on the News last night. Corona isn’t going to cheat the soccer loving Danes so they have invented Soccer drive ins. They dress up in their favourite teams colours, park in the stadium parking lot and watch the game on a gigantic screen, tooting their horns and making all the noise the fans tend to make, yet keeping their distance. Inside the stadium where the game is being played they have somehow filled it with virtual fans, noise and all with all the honking going on in the background.......not so nice for the neighbours.

I have already paid and received my pattern for this cross stitch. However, I have neither paid nor received fabric or floss from this pattern. Since I have already paid for my pattern, do I have to pay for my pattern again if I want to get fabric and floss?

I like to read and right now with everything going on in the world, I am reading more to escape some of the harsh reality...if only for a while. This is not to bury my head in the sand and ignore what is going on around the country but just to escape it for a while. I like to read Amish fiction especially by Beverly Lewis and Wanda Brunstetter. I am currently reading The Hope Jar by Wanda Brunstetter and have the second one The Forgiving Jar all ready to go once done Book 1. I also enjoy historical fiction like Mrs. Lincoln's Dressmaker and other historical and nonhistorical books by Jennifer Chiaverini. What are you reading my cross-stitching friends?

https://www.wndu.com/content/news/Protesters-gather-in-downtown-South-Bend-over-George-Floyd-death-570895101.html Yes, stitchers -- the protests are right here in my city and it hasn't gotten too ugly yet. There are over 1200 positive cases of Covid-19 in our county and 44 deaths. No social distancing, very few wearing masks, and looting hasn't started yet. Anyone else on here experiencing the protests in their own backyards? Prayers needed -- protesters are very close to where we live. We live in the city and do not have a suburban life.

Happy Monday and a happy new month to everyone! If you like, post a photo of or tell us in words about what you've been stitching on or have completed in recent weeks. We started this monthly thread not quite a year ago and have seen an amazing variety of projects, it's a thread that many of us look forward to seeing and I think many of us enjoy posting our work. Personally, in the past few weeks I've made NO progress whatsoever on any stitching project!! We're unexpectedly moving (a local move, about 45 miles) and I've spent the past month purging and packing. Moving day is Thursday and I'm hoping that in about 10 days I'll be able to pull out some stitching and relax a bit. Continue to stay safe and well, everyone!

I saw this in one of my Facebook groups...from some spare fabric, make a gridding template. This is my first attempt and for 18 ct fabric. All I need to do now is use my template to create grid lines on my project fabric. Hope it will go faster since I won't have to count for each column/row.

I'm working over one on 28ct Lugana using Lizbeth size #20 egyptian cotton by Handy Hands, Inc. (very shiny, wrapped thread) FIrst time using this, and it's not going easily. I've switched needles from 20 to 24, and both results don't satisfy me. I'm wondering if there is another thread I should use. Any advice will greatly be appreciated.

Hi! I have been a cross stitcher for many, many years and I have always kept my floss in this type of organizer from Dal Craft. Unfortunately, the soft plastic cases have deteriorated over the years and I don’t know if they are available anymore. I know Dal Craft is out of business and I haven’t been able to locate anything like this floss organization system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My dad has an appointment with the neurologist next Tuesday, June 9th. This is not that actual Cat Scan yet. Apparently, they need to do an office visit as the first step. I guess to see if a Cat Scan is needed which I am certain it will be. He is doing ok. He has good days or weeks and bad ones. Sometimes he knows people and other times he calls his grandson, "that boy", or doesn't know my sister's husband of 30 years! Mom says he loves to color and does a few hours of coloring every day. He has books full of finished pages. When we skyped with him he showed us a lot of his finished pages. Mom plays cards with him which he enjoys and sometimes Connect Four. She tried a Disney match game with him but he didn't like the Frozen edition. He prefers vintage Disney; Goofy, Mickey, Donald Duck etc. I am going to look for one to send to him. He got a visit from my mom's nephew yesterday. Mom said he seemed to recognize him. He talked about old times in Philadelphia when he and my mom would babysit for him and his brothers. Also, my cousin, Frannie would bring up a lot of things my dad did with him when he was little like play baseball and give him a ride in his tractor-trailer, and play tennis. He visited with them for four hours and they had a good time. Dad did take out his hearing aids - about 1/2 hour into the visit and then didn't talk much because he couldn't hear. I wish he would realize that he will have a better quality of life when he wears them. That way he can engage in conversation and enjoy other people's company.

Has anyone used the Charles Aida cloth is it durable and even :) Thanks in advance

1-1/2 rows to go and she should be finished. I figured out the "ridging" problem and I was happy to finish another row.
