Fire Side chat, 4 things one of which is a darling project!

On the round up today... My latest fireside chat with stitching!  A new fast fun and darling project, Cross stitch and keep going right to the end to see the project I've been wanting to start for more than 5 years!

I'm sewing this cute kit because I really want to make a fun project from start to finish! There is enough fabric for one more block so I'm making a table runner. I'll be showing my steps at my Facebook quilting Neighborhood

It's Cross stitch madness! hehe.  When you watch my fireside chat below you'll see that I truly AM a beginner. I did my last cross stitch about 30 yrs ago. Just a very small one. Then I started one maybe 8 yrs ago but didn't finish it... wonder what happened it?

Sometime learning needs to happen at the 'right time' and now is 'the right time' for me!

• I have a Q&A segment with questions you asked me at my facebook group, which by the way is super fun so if you have not joined me yet please do! 
• My huge project this year is the Splendid Sampler, so I did a where it's at and what's going on about the project. 
• Moda is one of the big sponsor for my talk show and I really want you to hear what goes on behind the scenes. Plus let you know what's coming up, There is more to the people at the company than a new line coming out. 

Things I mentioned 

• UPDATE - Gwen Marston joins me on Feb 6, 2017
