This past week was another full week of learning. This time I took a 3 day class in Portland to “Master” my new Bernina 990. That’s sewing and this post is about cross stitch. I only mention it because it meant that I was in traffic for an hour every morning and 90-120 minutes. When I got home, I had homework to do for the next day. By the time I finished my homework, I had enough time to eat and go to bed so I could do it all over again the next day. Not a lot of stitching happened.

Welcome back Stitchy Friends! Excited to watch the USA play Paraguay in the World Cup tonight. It will be a weekend full of World Cup games and time for stitching. Love it!
Starts & Finishes
Just in case you were wondering. For me a start is when I start a new CHART. Some projects have multiple charts and I consider them a seperate project because I don’t have to stitch all of them. I am doing quite a few series and each is a seperate chart so seperate project even if I decide to do them as one larger project. This thought process evolved to help keep me motivated and keep up momentum.
On the other hand, when I finish stitching a CHART, I am calling it a finish. This is not to be confused with FFO (Final Finished Object) which when they happen for me end up in its own category. I am just horrible about that final step so you don’t see that here often.
With that said, I had a couple of starts this week.

Welcome back my stitchy friends! Wow! It has been an eventful two weeks. I had the cross stitch retreat hosted by 141 Design Company and travel home.

FINISH: Stitching Quakers by Primrose Cottage
This was stitched on 16 ct pewter aida with the called for Colour & Cotton floss. I really like working with quaker patterns. This was just fun seeing all the hand stitching items for cross stitch, hand sewing, embroidery, etc. The bees were a nice touch of symbolism.
