Our ANG Main Line Stitchers chapter’s first Stitch-in for 2024 was Saturday. We had a nice turnout with 9 people in person and one on Zoom for a couple of hours. We lucked out with the weather-mild and sunny!

Beth brought her framed Southwestern Pots. It was really framed beautifully. She’ll bring it to our March meeting when Kristen will bring hers too. I helped Beth get back on track with A Spring Sampler. Lori and Patrick are coming along nicely with theirs.

I worked on the borders for Imperial Topaz by Sue Reed. I did change 3 strands of Splendor to 1 strand of Silk Lame Braid Petite so I could see more of the Kreinik Braid that stretches corner to corner. And, I skipped the small upright stitches over 2 to see more of the Braid.

I finished the border Monday but got sidetracked and forgot to post this. I’m very happy with how this turned out. Thanks again to Linda for leading us through the project and picking threads which is key to getting the motifs to show.

Note: Gifted canvas to friends, Mona and Kirk. It goes with the color scheme in their living room! Glad it found a home.
