It`s a good excuse to drink hot chocolate, light the fireplace and stitch. My viewing will likely be more along the lines of NCIS than Doctor Zhviago, but to each their own.<br /><br />Glad to know i`m not the only one that has stitched her fabric together like that!<br /><br />Kisses to Stewey and Bosco...~mj~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08539840287964685499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-37751097372366164622012-02-10T02:06:37.275-05:002012-02-10T02:06:37.275-05:00You saw that brightness in the sky, too?

I also use a toliet paper roll, roll extra linen and use a straight pin (long one to secure. Roll it right up to the edge of the q-snap.<br /><br />I have stitched linen in layers quite a few times and I'm ashamed to admit not only that, but to the quilt I cover up with in my stitching chair and to my clothes.

Other people probably do too, but I've definitely seen it on Taffy's blog.<br />go here: http://taffystreasures.blogspot.com/2011/12/hulless-carmel-corn-and-some-stitching.html<br />and you can just see the dark- toothed hair clip thing gripping the bottom edge.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305293775583665402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5007999093281954902.post-51923583609507252872012-02-09T12:22:42.920-05:002012-02-09T12:22:42.920-05:00Lovely roses.
