I got bingo yesterday but unfortunately I will have to forfeit for personal reasons

I'm at 7/10

Yes! That brings me to 6/10

None today but I'm kind of getting used to that. At least I'm getting to see a lot of cool patterns.

I finally got one

Not a single one yet!

None for me!

EEK! I will definitely be more careful!

Sooooo I was sitting on my bed stitching. I placed my threaded needle on a magnetic strip on my magnetic board so I could kiss my hubby goodbye before he left for work. He left and my needle was gone! I looked everywhere, couldn't find it so I vacuumed. Right after that I found it on my comforter (w...

My cats are insisting I play.

I like the way you think!!!

Me too! Too much isn't enough as far as cross stitch supplies go. (yes, I'm an enabler)

Thank you to everyone for all your helpful suggestions. I've taken everything into consideration and decided not to go for it. While I would absolutely adore the finished product, I don't think I would enjoy the journey getting there. I've decided to go with Stickideen von der Wiedenburg's Rose Quak...

I probably should have picked something easier to start with, and worked my up to it. The reason I didn't was I was so new at it that I thought all patterns would be the same level of difficulty. By the time I found out otherwise I was more than halfway through and at that point I was committed@ :oo...

Thank you all for the input. I went on the website and looked at the mockup. It looked great but I'm not in the mood for a lot of confetti so I'll be putting it on the back burner for now. My first project years ago was Rapunzel by Teresa Wentzel. I call it my first because prior to that I'd done ma...

I saw a pattern on 123 stitch by HAED called Twilight Moon Pearls. I know a lot of y'all have done HAED patterns so I have a few questions. Is it difficult to stitch 2 over 1 on 25 ct? Are there a lot of color changes in a given area? You know, like 3 stitches in this color, 6 in that color, and the...

Thanks for the help! I went from a 14 x 17 qsnap to an 11 x 11 and it's way easier for me to hold.

I've just discovered Q snaps and I love them but I have some questions. Where have they been all my life? LOL. Seriously, though. Should I take my fabric off at night when I'm done stitching? Will the clamps crush the stitches? Is there anything I should know, or any advice about them? Thank you all!

Did you try eBay? That's where I got mine a few months ago.

Thanks for the tips. It looks like I'll be doing a floss toss!

Hi everyone! I have some rose colored aida cloth. I'm planning to stitch a sarcastic phrase along with some flowers on it. My question is: what would be the best color threads to use on it? It's a fairly dark pink and I supposed I could default to black for the phrase (if I have to), but what about ...
