Hello Stitchers!
    Don't you find there are so many wonderful patterns to stitch out there and never enough time to do them in. I'm a Bunka stitcher. a counted crossstitcher, and a charted needlepointer. Every day we show our love for someone by giving a gift lovingly stitched. These gifts are cherished treasures because of the love and time the stitcher spent on them. Stitchers are known for their special bonding and caring for others. I have loved the needlearts for many years, delighting in each step of the process, from selecting the right fabric and floss, to tying off the final stitch. The looks on my family's faces after giving them a Christmas stocking, pillow cases, etc. are...well..priceless! There were times when I discovered I'd missed a stitch, or miscounted the stitches, choose the wrong colour and had to redo a whole section. Sometimes my eyes didn't want to co-operate either like white on white. I find no better way though to unwind.
