It’s a marathon stitching weekend! During the weekend try to get as much stitching in as you can! The goal started as 24 hours, but we invite you to make it work for you!

So no matter if you’re on #TeamSleep or #TeamStitchAllNight we’d love for you to join in!
Remember, you can stitch for as much as you want, and just like before, a full 24 hours (consecutive or not) is not a requirement.
Let’s make a whole lot of x’s!!!

#24HoursOfCrossStitch            (one of my facebook groups)

My goal for this cold week-end plus lots of soup and tea and a fire in the fire place!

 I forgot to post a couple of items that should have been done at least by last week.  I can't believe how busy my January has been already.  I need things to slow down a bit but February is coming and doesn't have the same type of deadlines.  

Let's start with the Avignon Santa.  Most current photo in January of 2022

Still more beads to go!

Pandemic

no overall photo but the problem child area

before ripping this whole area out

It didn't match up in the right area.

After re-stitching the entire motif

much better.

More later this week.

 

 It's SAL time and my first 2022 post.  Time has gotten away from me this past week -far too much to do for the start of the new year but it will slow down starting next week.

Here is Do different form the last SAL posting - overall view only:

Now for today's version

full, left then right sides

this side has the most progress

This shows the bottom middle motif progress the best.

I admit that I stitched on other projects the

week between Christmas and New Year's Day.  

I just needed a break.

Happy NEW YEAR !

 We are sad to announce the death of Pat Carson. Pat was a tireless promoter of counted cross stitch and is probably best known for her interpretation of the Precious Moments paintings. Her pattern book "Cross Stitch for Special Occasions" was the first pattern book to sell over one million copies! Lately Pat was the originator of Pat's Needles which were so extremely popular. She also worked tirelessly on her charities to raise money for elementary schools in southeast Asia.
