fccs’s Grand Teton National Park - Oct 2020
My kids (son and d-i-l) went to Jackson, Wyoming, recently and got me this kit. The kit had the floss sorted into three bundles, each of which was inside a Floss Away bag, and it included plastic bobbins (enough for each color). Very impressive. It also included these instructions for recommended strands of floss: “Cross stitch using 4 strands of floss to achieve the solid-stitched tapestry look of the cover sample. You may use only 2 strands if you prefer a more traditional cross-stitched look. Or use 3 strands if you like! With counted cross-stitch, the choice is always yours.” Best instructions EVER.
They gave it to me Saturday and I got a few stitches done Sunday. I plan on working on it tonight during game one of the World Series.

That is going to be one beautiful design once finished and you have made a good start. Love the instructions with the chart too.

I like the firm's attitude to its customers. Happy stitching!

Great instructions (especially if they've given you enough thread to do the 4-strand option)! Enjoy this stitching adventure. And how many strands will you use?
Re: fccs’s Grand Teton National Park - Oct 2020
Lovely design, wish all instructions were as good as these. Look forward to seeing your updates
Re: fccs’s Grand Teton National Park - Oct 2020
I agree! Best instructions I've ever seen. And which option did you choose?

Serinde, I think there’s more than enough floss for the four-strand option.
Serinde and Carole, I am using two. I know a lot of people like three (or more) on 14 count, but I’ve always used two and I like the way it looks. I didn’t work on it today but hopefully I’ll have a small update tomorrow(‘ish).

The wonderful thing is being able to please oneself. And your stitching is always lovely.
Re: fccs’s Grand Teton National Park - Oct 2020
What a lovely start.
Such a beautiful design.

I haven’t made a lot of progress on this one, but it’s better than nothing. We got a lot of snow earlier this week and I had planned on snow days full of stitching. Instead I ended up cleaning out and organizing my craft closet and guest room.

A fantastic gift and something to keep you busy when not shoveling snow!
Great start BTW

Re: fccs’s Grand Teton National Park - Oct 2020
Yeah, well, these things need to be done, too, so that the tiny 'clean me' voices are silences, and you can stitch in peace! Great start.
Re: fccs’s Grand Teton National Park - Oct 2020
Progress is still progress - those stitches weren't there before and now they are. And what lovely stitches they are.
Sometimes I can only manage around 20 - 30 stitches, other times I can have a great session, we all get there in the end.
Yay! for a clean craft room ( I'm not jealous of a craft room, no, I'm not, honestly )

Re: fccs’s Grand Teton National Park - Oct 2020
I don’t have a craft room, just a craft closet in my guest room. But since I live alone (with Jackson, my cat), I guess every room is a craft room, right?

Change "Jackson" to "Rosey" and I could have said that. I guess I'd say mine is a craft house and just leave it at that.
Love your progress on this project! Any progress is good and organizing craft storage is something that I also do periodically. I admire your moving on to your guest room, though. Not sure I would have gone that far.I tend to be very much a "procrosstinator" (autocorrect made me type that word 3 times, even with the quotation marks). My sister sent me a t shirt which says so and defines procrosstination as "cross stitching when I could be doing housework".

Re: fccs’s Grand Teton National Park - Oct 2020
Well, I had no choice as far as the guest room. When I organize my craft closet, everything gets dumped on the guest bed and floor, which necessitates a clean up there.

As you know any increase on our stitching is that much less to do. Good on you for stopping for the organising and then the clearing up.
