Continuing the theme of my cross stitch supply, I will show you a wonderful Heritage Crafts kit named “Little Sew and Sew!” by Peter Underhill. The kit consists of 14 count cream Zweigart fabric, two charts with and without backstitch and instruction, John James needle, and DMC stranded cotton. Approximately design size is 6,5″ x 7,5″ or 18 x 19,5 cm. I got this kit as a gift from my daughter, and I love looking at it. Why don’t I cross-stitch it? I think I like to put off the pleasure for later, imagining how beautiful the already embroidered picture will look. I agree that it sounds weird, but I have a few kits that I like to bring out and look at them, go through the threads, smooth out the fabric, wonder if I should replace Aida with evenweave and then put it back. That’s just how I am.
