Stitching time...

Do you set aside a specific time of day or day of the week to stitch? Do you try to get in at least a little stitchery every week, or do you stitch only when the mood (or need) strikes? Approximatley how many hours a week do you "devote" to your needlework?

You aren't alone! I only got my stretcher bars today - I thought I ad some but only had two 18" lengths! And my special order outlining metallics haven't arrived... So... I'm filling time with other stuff until.... Have you tried reading the instructions? I find them less than enlightening...

I only looked at the first couple. I hope I don't feel so pressured when I am finally able to get to this.

Well, there's nothing thats says we have to post on the site unless we want to so, we'll be slow together, OK?

Heck, I haven't even posted my colors yet! Just found the stretchers (had to settle for 18 x 16 as Hobby Lobby didn't carry 15" bars and all I could find in my stash were 18-inchers...), still need tacks, and still waiting for outline threads in the mail!

True, the other thing I noted was he said some of the stitches didn't have names and that isn't correct. But I am sure he doesn't want me correcting him! I am sure I would get worse than my knuckles rapped. IF you know the name of the stitch it makes it easier to use another resource to see how someone else says it is supposed to be done if you are having problems.

Exactly! I bet PinTangles stitch directory would be a help in that regard too! He probably doesn't like Sharon B either! LOL
