Stephanie's Introduction: Love with a Capital L

Hi, my name is Stephanie and thank you for letting me join!  A SAL is so helpful for making progress with huge projects.

I'm a married thirtysomething, living in the Washington, DC metro area, with one son, almost 2 years old.  He keeps me busy, and I mainly stitch in the evening after baby bedtime.  Other hobbies include sewing, quilting, knitting, and reading, but cross stitch is my primary creative outlet these days.


In mid January I will start Love with a Capital L by Papillion Creations.  Here is my floss toss: Gloriana silk in crimson & pumpkin, on 25 count vintage smoky white lugana.  This pattern has been in my stash for a long time.  The plan is to add some personalization to the bottom as a wedding sampler.  It's a large project (260 x 434 st), which I found a bit daunting.  I will stitch 1 over 1, full cross.  But we've been married 10 years, so it's about time.   I look forward to sharing my progress here and seeing everyone's projects come along.

  4. Oh, what a lovely choice! Most people on here do some kind of HAED/Tiltion/ets full coverage design - don't get me wrong, those are great, but it's also nice to see a sampler grow once in a while :)
