Go to "About.com" then click on to the appropriate catagory listed on the left You will be able to get a tutorial on how to stitch from there. Congrats on being a new granny to be,.

Absolutely! Many congratulations.

Stitching over two threads is easy once you start, so don't be worried.

Perhaps I should start on these sorts of things now. I stitch so slowly, and get sidetracked by the garden and life in general, that beginning things for prospective grandchildren might be the only way to make sure they get these goodies before I'm too old and incapable.
