"A Friend Knows" Must be ready by Christmas!

Post by CherryBlossom »

Here is my WIP:

And my progress:

It's for one of my besties who will be in town the week of Christmas. I really want it done before then but I have other craft gifts to do as well. Praying I have time for all of these projects AND to help my 7 yr old daughter make some gifts as well. Must keep my neurotic craft gifting handed down for generations. :lol:

I love the design!! I wish my 10 year old would pick up stitching (or any craft) but she doesnt want to have anything to do with it!
Keep it up!!
Life is too beautiful not to stitch it!

Thank y'all so much! It's so nice to get encouragement from ppl who enjoy stitching. PPl who don't stitch don't really *get* it. LOL

Next week I'm getting back on this CS and starting on our other projects. Which include plastic canvas and yarn dolls. She loves making yarn dolls with me. Touches on her clothing design passion..

Very cute design. Well done for encouraging your daughter to get involved, my 4 year old likes to "help" me stitch! Causes havoc with the tension!

I LIKE that! :lol: And yeah - get the kids stitching! I couldn't get my daughters interested... :( One prefers paint, the other collage. They both say their preferred craft is easier that xstitch! :shock:
