Welcome to ChitChat!

Hello everyone! It's time to turn the calendar to March, and time for our monthly 'Show and Tell' or 'WIP parade' of what we've been stitching on in recent past week or what we've recently completed.

Post a photo and brief description (pattern name + designer or publisher). As always, if you're unable to or prefer not to post photos, just tell us in words.

As I sometimes do, I'll post my photos sometime in the morning or afternoon -- the daytime light is so much better for photos than the rather dim late-night lighting in my home!

Take care, all!

Will you please post the floss colors.

Hi 👋🏽 again. I promised to share what my sister gave me for my birthday. I received other things, but I like to share my cross stitch stuff with you. I received a Tomorrow’s Treasures table stand- bought from The Stitchery, and she chose the Cottage Garden spring bunny. 🐰 Here they are. I told her that some of the ladies want to “share” her, and she thinks that is funny. 😁 I told her I will be sharing this with you.

Hi Stitchers..Happy Saturday! 🌷
I am wanting to stitch on Aida Cloth 14 and 16 ct that is "antiqued..tea stained"
1st > What is the best color to use? My 1st choice was Natural RUSTIC due to it having some variation in color to begin with. Then I saw Lambswool, Oyster, Waterlily and Latte Variegated (Country French)...Ugghh 🤯
Also can someone tell me how to tea stain the Aida cloth? Warm water? How long to soak? Do I air dry or low dryer? How much tea..just wing it like a recipe? Will my cloth unravel..I've never washed any of my completed items..been afraid to. I always put masking tape around all the edges so I have no unraveling. Could someone maybe just come to my home and help me..my husband's a good cook , I have comfortable beds, 2 cute pups and alot of TV channels! 😂 🤣 Seriously, I just need some tips so I don't ruin my fabrics. Thanks for any help I receive. Jackie ♡

Hello...i understand this design is a plastic canvas craft. I only do cross stitch. On these designs are the patterns printed on graph paper with grid lines just like cross stitch patterns? Are their 14ct, 16ct.. etc plastic canvas design measurements the same as for fabric..ie: Can I swap the 14ct plastic canvas for 14ct Aida cloth fabric and then follow the directions and get the same results because I ultimately want to frame them? Last..are the 4ct designs all on the same paper and I can stitch them as a group? Sorry for so many questions.
Thank you, jackie

To all of our March Birthday stitching friends and their significant others, have a wonderful Birthday month. 🎂 Best wishes to you and yours as you celebrate another year. Enjoy. 🥹

Went to the car/dog wash after our walk today….

Good first day of March Saturday. Woke up to a skiff of snow on the ground. If March comes in like a lion it goes out like a lamb. Here's hoping! Today is the second leg of shopping errands and pick up our taxes and then we'll settle in for the weekend. I am determined to finish "Winter Woods" this month and not much more to go. I want to start "Hello Spring" and have the perfect fabric for it. Have a happy Saturday and good weekend!
