Stitch I Will!

I am ready ... so stitch I will. 

There is a new Stitch Along coming in June to the happy cross stitch along group

@ 

Fat Quarter Shop FlossTube

All you really need is the 

Sew She Did Cross Stitch Pattern @ FQS

You could use whatever cross stitch cloth and floss you have or prefer.

At the FQS, Kimberly Jolly always encourages her listeners to

" Just To Do You"

to find what works for you and makes you happy.

After much thought about how I wanted to do this pattern and

considering whether I could make the sewing machine look like my beloved Janome,

I decided that my cross stitch abilities are not ready to rework a pattern that much.

I love the sample as shown and I had 10 count Vintage Aida cloth on hand in Daisy white,

I had some good Bohn tapestry needles in a size I can thread and use easily.

I decided to use Aurifloss as my stitches are best on 10 count Aida with this floss.

I am ready to start stitching.

This is my progress on new roof day yesterday on my

Quaker Flag Cross Stitch

I am changing this one up.

I decided I preferred a 13 star canton on my flag.

This one is progressing well and I plan to work on it

when I am outside this long labor day weekend.

Inside I am making progress on my

Beothuk Star QAL

and I need to finish up and pack up some swap blocks for mailing early next week.

I will be home,

enjoying our homey little Scrapatch.

Our new roof has already been christened with the rain and wind.

All is good.

What are you plans for the long Memorial Day Weekend?

Remember, Honor and Celebrate! 

May you and yours have a safe and wonderful weekend!
