Words of Gratitude


Do you know what's really spectacular about online stitching friends? If they can help out another stitcher, they don't hesitate to do so. Whether it's advice on a stitchy problem or a personal problem, or to make someone's day with a RAK... Stitchers step up and lend an ear, give their words of wisdom and support, and provide kindness through cards and gifts. I don't know anyone in real life who stitches, so I get my inspiration from you guys. For all of you out there... Kudos to you!

What possessed me to write a warm & fuzzy post? A couple weeks ago, I finished the front and back of my biscornu to be finished at a retreat in June. I didn't have enough WDW to do the finishing, so I thought I'd order another skein. It came to my attention that Grenadine was discontinued! Naturally, I turned to my online stitchy friends. While MANY offered to help, Jennifer in FL was the first so I went with her. In today's mail, I received a cute card that on the front reads: "What's a nice person like you doing in a place like this?" and on the inside it said: "Everything!"

I just wanted to express my gratitude to Jennifer and the rest of you whom I've gotten to know online. You all make a difference... and don't let anyone convince you otherwise.

WOW, I had the same problem! I needed the Grenadine for the May Lizzie Kate flipit and had to go to an online stitching buddy who helped me out.
Why design a NEW pattern with a discontinued thread color?!
