CROSS STITCH DIARY: September Starts and Finishes
Finishes!!!!
Singing in the Rain Stitchalong with Flamingo Toes
I was very excited to finish this Stitch-A-long on time. This is my second finish this year. Being new to cross stitching in this modern age, I am learning the expected etiquette.

With all that, I must say I have a very high expectation in my finishes and so I am trying not to beat myself up. Continue reading “Quilt Diary: 2020 Q2 Finishes & Q3 Goals”
