I am trying desperately to finish a Rebecca Wood Christmas stocking before our Holiday deadline (Sept 10th!! Ahh!)

Last night, I tackled the wreath and finished it — but it was Pyrrhic victory because now I’ve lost my thumb.

Pushing all those French Knots through the canvas last night gives the wreath a great look, but my thumb is sore to the touch. I think I’ll be basketweaving for the next few nights!

Good luck to everyone else out there fighting to finish before the Holiday deadline & anyone else who is sacrificing appendages to make sure their needlepoint looks its very best.

Thanks to everyone who posted their comments about the favorite place to stitch. We loved hearing your responses! It seems being near the A/C is a key component for happily stitching away in the summer heat.

We just pulled our winner randomly from a bowl

And the winner is……..

Sue Dulle!
Her comment: “My stitching spots remain the same in my air conditioned nests but with either (and sometimes both) a ceiling fan or floor fan whirrling away.”

Thanks for participating and stay tuned. We will be posting more questions in the future for more exciting giveaways — free canvases, threads, who knows! We look forward to hearing from all of you soon!
