Re: Tutorial - Finishing a Christmas stocking
Hi Dragica, I'm so glad you found the tutorial helpful! Both the stockings I've made have been on 14 count white Aida fabric. It's very durable and has a good weight to it. I use cotton fabric for the lining and have done both backings with red felt. You don't have to stick to cotton and felt, but t...

THIS IS AMAZING!!! I've been off for a while, and I'm so thrilled to see this piece! I'm an enormously nerdy Whovian, and I actually make hand painted Starry Night TARDIS jeans. Can't wait to see your progress. Best of luck - no more frogs!

Re: Tutorial - Finishing a Christmas stocking
Thanks so much! Congratulations on taking on the most nerve-wracking part - cutting it out! :) As far as backing, you can really use anything you want.

Re: (Important Message pg 1 top) Christmas Ornament Exchange
My stitched ornament is in the mail! :whoop: (Although I just realized that in my rush to get it out, I completely forgot to take a picture of it for my craft album. I'm hoping my recipient will help me out by posting a pic when it arrives.) Haven't received an ornament yet, but it's fun having some...

Re: UFO Club (1st to 7th of each month)
I finished my butterfly! I'm at the beach and I can't figure out how to post a pic from my phone, but I'll be sure to post when I get home. Thanks for giving me the inspiration I needed to much myself in the pants and finish this up after so long!
