Howdy from Texas
Hello all! Returning stitcher here from Texas trying to get back in the swing of things. My great-grandmother and grandmother taught me how to cross stitch and embroider, and I had an urge to get back at it. I found two great patterns to work with, a rooster for my husband and a beautiful peacock for our office at home. I look forward to reading the posts and appreciate any suggestions or creative ideas. Thanks!!

Welcome from Ohio!
Can't wait to see your birds all stitched up and (Forgive me, but it must be said) Pretty as a peacock.

Re: Howdy from Texas
Thank you everyone for the warm welcome!! I finally got my rooster kit all sorted out (it's a Bucilla kit that had no rhyme nor reason to their colors and was a pain trying to cross convert their numbers to DMC). That being said if anyone has suggestions with working with their kits that would greatly be appreciated!
