I went up to Amy's yesterday. We headed up to Sumter for a little shopping and lunch at Five Guys (yum!!). While there I picked up the latest Just Cross Stitch magazine from DSL.

There are some great designs in it. I was very excited to see an article on Plum Street Samplers!! Paulette also submitted a very sweet design! I just love it! :)

There was also a very cute Praiseworthy Stitches design in it...

I also got my buttons for "The Stockings."

But it will be set aside for a little bit because I'm working on another model for Lisa right now. It's such a great design! I'll give you a sneak peek of the threads and fabric... they're just gorgeous!

I hope to have it finished before we leave for Florida next Saturday. Wish me luck! :) Write soon!

  4. Good luck Nicole ^__^

    The fabric is great .... a wonderful color ... here in Italy ... is very hard to buy a 40 ct linen from Lakeside ... I just order it in the U.S.A. and the shipping id high ;(

  7. Can't wait to see Lisa's design! And, you bad girl!--I took one look at the JCS issue you showed, through on my coat and drove directly to the LNS, whereupon I bought the magazine, and then did a silk conversion on the spot, two minutes before they closed! Thanks!

  14. Just Cross Stitch is THE best magazine out there in my opinion. I love the fact that they are incorporating more popular cross stitch designers. I can't wait to get mine now! I LOVE that Praiseworthy Stitches design. I may have to start that one as my next larger project.
