Stitch for Syria



Mr. X Stitch is quite the guy, but the women who need our love are far more incredible.  There is still time to get with the program so dash on over to Concern and get your pattern, instructions and form for this wonderful little stitch up.  This is stitched on 36 ct opalescent white evenweave...even though the directions say 14 ct AIDA, there was nothing there saying it HAD to be.  I used Caron's Wildflowers #145 Carnival.

What is really sad (aside from the lives that are being ruined or removed) is that the bad guys are digging up history to sell on the black market to fund their "endeavor".  Once that digging up has happened, then they blow it all up.  HISTORY!  It makes me sad. Thankfully, the women AND Cross Stitch will persevere....THAT is something, isn't it?  

Until next time.....Keep on Stitchin'!

    1. Yes I am! I'm very excited it's going there as that ensures it's arrival to wherever it gets sent to next :D

    1. right? You cannot stop at one! I ended up stitching another one last night using Gloriana silk floss and it too is gorgeous. I'm thinking we cannot go wrong no matter what we use!
