Returning stitcher ...

Hello! I haven't stopped in since 2019 (gasp!) but with the loss of Facebook today, I wanted to reach out to fellow stitchers. How has everyone been? I am active in quite a few cross stitch groups, hope to see some of you here. Currently am working on the Golden Shaman Coin by Tilton, but no worries...

I moved October 2016 and am just now getting back to where I can cross stitch again! I haven't even...

Hi again !

I know it's been awhile since I have been on here. I have been dealing with life, such as kidney stones, and having all but seven teeth pulled! Oh yes, it has been fun. I have been cross stitching here and there, not as much the last few months as normal, just getting back into these last couple of ...

Re: Where do you buy patterns online?

Googling how to do a cross stitch type stitch lead me to you tube. You tube lead me to HAED, upon which I am addicted to. I also buy charts from other people who sell on Facebook (Tilton Crafts, for one). I never looked for it on Ebay, and I never felt the need to look on Etsy because I assumed it w...

Re: OT - Stitching George Washington

Re: Hello From Utah

Hello, and welcome from Texas :) I am currently addicted to these hoops made in the US of A called No Slip Hoops, found here. My favorite size is the 7 inch. I did try the Q-snap, but didn't quite maintain the tension I prefer when using something, when not stitching in hand.
