IT’S SO COLD!

We’re getting an early taste of winter here in Alabama this week. In fact, it’s 33 degrees (F) outside and it’s not going to get above 39 today. Eek! So, while I’m snuggled by the fire with a steaming cup of Vive le Thé, I thought it’d be fun to share one of the background stitches I’m considering for my “Believe” canvas with you…

Well, whaddya’ know… we’re already to November! Eek! I can hardly believe it, can you? I’m super-busy getting ready for the “unveiling” of the new Stitcher’s Club member portal in January, but I’m trying to stay on track with my daily commitment to stitching for an hour every afternoon. I figure if I post my progress here, you’ll keep me accountable. 😉 And I’ll use our time together to walk you through some of the things I do when I’m writing a stitch guide for a project. Sound good?

Last week, we chatted about needlepoint stitch pathways and some questions have popped up, so I thought we’d take a look at some examples here today. Before we dive in though, let’s do a quickie review of what a needlepoint stitch pathway is. Simply put, it’s the order in which you execute each part of a stitch or stitch pattern.
