Stitching Notes
31 July 2004 22:19 adventures in stitchingI thought about bringing my latest cross-stitch piece with me when we went to Cologne this past week, but I didn’t. A. didn’t take his notebook and neither one of us took a book so that we would be “forced” to spend quality time together. (ha ha)
Anyway here are some stitching-related notes…
- I am very close to being finished with the dragonfly piece that I am working on. I hope that I will be motivated to finish it this coming week.
- A couple of weeks ago I bought paint so that I can paint a couple of frames. I will then frame “Keeping the Eggs Dry” and “Precious Family.”
- Now that I have my sewing machine I need to buy some material so I can practice my sewing and make pillows. I have at least one cross-stitch piece (”Cat Sampler”) I want to make into a pillow.
- Maybe I will someday get around to making that quilt with my cross-stitch pieces now…
Bored housewives and crafts sure do go together… just like peanut butter and jelly!

Hi! I really enjoyed looking at your completed cross stitched pieces on your site. I have recently finished a piece, about 5×7 and I’m interested in making it into a pillow. I was wondering if you could give me any advice on how to go about doing this, or where I could look perhaps online for instructions. Thanks so much!
