Oh my goodness! I am so excited to see this! Thank you, and thank you everyone for your support! More supplies are coming, so lets see what we can do with this Fundraiser!
Re: pin stitch discovery. I do Nicola’s way but start it in the center of the cross stitch, not on the bottom…I find this completely hides the stitch!
Also, thanks to all involved with funding Alz research and to you, Gary, for broadcasting the info. My husband has had this dread disease for 3 years. It is, indeed, UGLY.
You can also use the “faux grid” method Christine mentioned in counted canvas pieces when the border is any type of cross stitch such as Smyrna. This is the method a group from my ANG chapter used in setting up Lorene Salt’s Autumn Kaleidoscope. We stitched the outer Smyrna border as half cross stitches and every 10th stitch completed the full Smyrna. Once the entire outer border was completed we used the “faux grid” to place the interior outlines without a lot of counting.
