 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.

 Time for a Pandemic Update

I have now used 3 cards of splendor - 12 ply of 8 yards of threads which equals 96 splendor.

this was one card of silk

this is what was labeled one card but there was a lot on the left not shown

Two cards

Three Cards

Note that I am leaving the 2nd part of the date off for now

I have an alternate design for the top middlish area

but just have not gotten around to stitching it yet.

Have a great stitching week!
