Biscornu stitched and finished by Jenifer.

Needle In A Haystack is sponsoring our SAL of the Rosewood Manor design, Springhill. Kits available soon and we start stitching Jan. 1.

It’s Wednesday once again. Jenifer and Gary gather to talk about the factors that make us lose interest in and stop stitching projects that we initially liked, and what it is that draws us to a project. We also experience Gary confusing Sulky cotton thread with NPI silk and almost convincing Jenifer. In addition, we announce a new SAL. On Jan. 1 we will start stitching Springhill by Rosewood Manor. The SAL is sponsored by Needle in a Haystack. Jenifer, Beth, and Gary are each planning to stitch Springhill in a different thread set. More information is coming as soon as Cathe makes the conversions and gets the kits together. Join us tonight for the Stitch Hour at 8:00 p.m. Eastern when we’ll talk about stitching painted-canvas designs with our guest, Patricia Sone.–Jenifer and Gary
