I needed a "carry along" project to work on away from the house. And, I also needed something for Spring to to make into a pillowcase for my bench in the kitchen. After rummaging in my pattern stash I found this old pattern and pulled it out. I wanted the design to finish up a certain size, which was perfect for 14 stitches per inch. I really don't like stitching on 14 ct but this time it was necessary. I had an old piece of 14 ct Aida the right color. I have several new pieces of 28 ct Lugana and Monaco in that color as well for when I stitch 1 over 1, but I couldn't bring myself to cut into either piece! Crazy, huh? And...I can see the 14 ct better when away from home without good lighting!!

And, I've also finished up some bears for Project Linus. 10 were dropped off in February and the other 10 will be going this afternoon. We still aren't meeting as a large group at the library, and haven't for a year now. But some of the group meets at a nearby park in the open, so I will be going this afternoon for a while.
Thanks for stopping by! Stay safe!
