There’s been a resurgence of interest in cross stitch. Have you noticed? I have a special place in my heart for cross stitch because when I married in 1981, my new sister-in-law Ruth Ann introduced me to it. I was a fanatical stitcher for decades. I still have many samplers in my home, and recently my daughter asked if she could have one. I think she considers it part of her heritage!

Now a number a quilt designers are also designing cross stitch patterns, including It’s Sew Emma (Fat Quarter Shop’s house brand) and Lori Holt of Bee in My Bonnet.

My guild had a two-day retreat the first weekend of 2020 and I was able to go for one day. It’s always fun to see what other people are working on and have time to catch up with everyone.

Lots of people worked on patriotic quilts for veterans in our area of Nebraska. We’ve been working our way through all the veterans we know about, and I think we have almost finished up those from the Korean War. The quilt above is a Scrap Box Chevron from Franklin Quilt Company.
