Stitching on the Rio Grande

This blog is dedicated to the use of stitchers along the eastern Rio Grande Valley. We invite you to discuss your projects, ask questions, compare progress, announce new opportunities, and post your photos. Above all this should be a way to communicate and have fun.

Have you ever wanted to show a piece across the room in frustration???? Well that is the way I felt this weekend. After stitching over 8 hours on 40 ct. linen - I discovered I had made a mistake - one stitch -yes, ONE STITCH. I thought surely I can make this work, but it was too much to adjust .... SO I spent over 2 hours cutting out! The next night I began again & was about 45 minutes into the journey again & YES, you guessed right - a mistake again - ONE STITCH. I took out a second time (only 30 mins this time) - stopped - took a shower - then started yet again. I "think" I am okay now. I'm thinking I should work on a BIG 28 ct tonight & rest my nerves - sigh!

    Well, if you have trouble with the 28 count, you can move on down to stitching on a tabletopper!! lol
