Mini stitchy rant

Have any of you stitchers out there used 28ct Monaco fabric? I think it`s 100% cotton...and I HATE it! It`s rough and scratchy, and so closely woven it makes 2 strands of DMC drag and fuzz, and twist up til every stitch has to be either railroaded or smoothed with a laying tool. I have another piece kitted for an ornie, and will be unkitting it shortly. It might be ok to work it one over one, but I don`t do much over one, so I will likely set it aside. It might make good fire starter some cold winter day...

Til next time, keep stitching ladies!

And the winner is....

The winner of the Treasures in Needlework mag with this sampler pattern in it is Colleen!


As for stitchy posting, I have been futzing (yep, stole that from Coni) with three projects, getting frustrated with each and unable to concentrate on any. I just need to get off my butt and get some pics taken, then I will post something. I try not to post personal stuff here...I figure you all have enough stress in your lives without listening to me rant on...

Til next time, keep stitching ladies!
