Stitch With Me #28 Show Notes

Happy Sunday!! I'm back and I'm SUPER glad to be back! The time off was nice but I missed you all!

Anyway, this week I worked on the Martha Agnes Sampler Roll from Stacey Nash Primitives:

Here is where it was when we started the video: 

I'm stitching this 2/1 on 18 count Long Coffee Aida from xJuDesign on Etsy with a surprising number of the called for flosses. See below for my stitch from stash conversion.

At the end of the video: 

 I put in a total of 170 stitches during the video. I'm totally in love with this and I can't wait to have it finished!! 

Here is my conversion: 

• GA Cinders --> same
• GA Walnut --> same
• GA Caramel Corn --> same
• GA Gingersnap --> C&C Kalamata
• GA Toasted Barley --> GA Autumn
• added GA Antique Lace for the words

C&C = Colour & Cotton

GA = Gentle Arts

What I purchased at StitchCon: 

• Leslie LeFleur, Under the Sea Fabrics, two pieces of 55 count lusciousness. 
• Tellin Emblem chart, Potted Posies (click on pic to purchase from 123Stitch): 
  
• Primitive Hare Yule Queen chart plus the one overdyed floss that is called for (click on the pic to purchase from Casa Cenina)
  
• "Short Cuts" from Keepsakes of GA Atutumn, GA Walnut, and GA Antique Lace
• Mill Hill Grand Canyon Santa (click on the pic to purchase from 123Stitch)
  

During StitchCon, I worked on Quotes to Live By and put in EXACTLY 83 stitches, raising almost $883 for Alzheimer's!! (if you'd like to make a direct donation to my walk, click on the pic of Quotes below:)
