Stitch and Sew X Factors


I am a 2,
both drawing and stitching.

I saw this first in a Cross Stitch FB Group 
where I am a member:



Where apparently I am odd because I actually draw and stitch both the same way.

Apparently I am also "scary" and a "freak" according to many of the comments 
on the original Twitter Post. 

Do I care?

Not at all.

I am not social media person or follow trends.
Nor do I usually watch the Today Show.
If you are interested in more on this X story google it or 
... where someone actually says
"I don't know anyone who starts from the bottom."

Hmmm .... I do.
This guy does not know me.

My hubby, who more typical when it comes to drawing x's,
suggests maybe it is so I can see my work.

This makes sense to me. 

My hubby knows me ... <3 


I do care more about the fact I am not getting my 


accomplished.

If you compare photos from these two posts
you will see I have not been cross stitching.

I was going to stitch during the football games on Sunday,
but the games were so interesting
and kept my attention focused on the play.


I have been sewing.

Maybe I do not care enough not to play with 
my sewing machine .

Either way I am happy and stitching in my happy place.

Hope you are warm and safe and happy
crossing your x's.

  1. I'm a 2 when I cross stitch. I draw more like a 7, I think. It's hard to think about it seriously when you don't draw much. I definitely write like a 7. That's the reason I say a 7. I always cross stitch like 2 - no doubt about that! I'd hate for someone to have started a project with a different approach and ask me to finish it for them. It would drive me insane to try to change my stitching. I started cross stitching at a fairly young age so it's really engrained in me to do my stitches in that way. Thanks for posting this article.

  2. I don't know what the average person does. I draw more like a 6. Cross-stitching is a 2 .. What's average? I've never been average nor do I follow a trend. I yam what I yam .. Popeye said that. At 81, I'm okay with who I am and what I do!! Back to playing with MY sewing machine. Thank you for an interesting blog!!

  3. I think I'm a 7. My first answer in my head was 7, but then when I started really thinking about it I confused myself! (Easily done!!!) I didn't follow the link. I probably will later, my curiosity is getting the best of me!
