This section needs your help -- send us your pictures and/or stories involving our designs. Did you use a creative finishing technique? Do you have our clotheslines all hung in a row? Are you stitching something over one on 50 count? Did you give something as a gift...what reaction did you get? We'd love to hear from you, and will list your ideas here with your first name only...thanks for sharing!

"I stitched Jinx, during hurricane Katrina, here in Baton Rouge, La. At one point during the storm, my 21 year old DD asked, "Do you really think you should be stitching that NOW?'. hahaha Hurricane Katrina is immortalized in the bottom of my piece with a dedication. I did add a small hand mirror charm, that I made to look like a broken mirror just below the "J" in jinx." - Tammie

Erin wrote to say that since she prefers chocolate martinis (to dry ones), she's using a chocolate chip button from Just Another Button Company in place of the olive on Dry Turkey!

"Thought that you would like to see our stitching group finishes of Witchy Washy. Most of the fabrics were had dyed by the stitchers and my DH did the framing as well as the frames. It was a fun chart to stitch!" -- Lynn

"At our little stitch gathering.... some friends and I were discussing the Bra in the Witchy piece... one of the girls had just finished this piece... I thought that women all over shoudl have soooooooo much fun with stitching a Bra... and not limit themselves to just the charted flosses used. Why not use some of the whisper (purple or a bright color) and maybe some Mill Hill Lime green Petite seed beeds or Two colors of Whisper... or even some Neon or glow in the dark threads. Oh... how about stitching it as chart calls and hand stitching some small black ruffle lace on it or a small ribbon bow. Some peopl feel trapped to complete the chart as it is pictured. How often do we get to stitch a Bra and it be something CUTE? so I suggest that we have FUN... Fun... Fun... with it!!!! And like is true in real life everyones bra should be fit to taste... HOW FUN!!!!" - Tracy C.
