I know for just about all my cross stitch projects especially making ornaments I use sewing thread. And I am so tired of poking myself with pins while sewing closed seams. I decided that for my treat to myself, once I made this, I would get some of those binding clips and goodies:))) I went to Joann's today and they had the binding clips on sale 40% off and there's a coupon for additional 25% off entire purchase (sale & regular priced items) for the next few days. I think I will get lots of use with this kit for the finishing of my cross stitch projects.
The tutorial is HERE by Vanessa of Lella Boutique blog.

It's super slow progress for me stitching these 2 over 4 on 40ct. I did try stitching with one thread but didn't like the look. So I am sticking with 2 threads over 4 as called for. I think I will change the thread color on the leaves because its so dark green that its too dark. I haven't made up my mind yet. Will test a few other colors.
With my love and appreciation - Annette

Wow, what a lovely kit!!! Well done!
I love this sampler! The little kit is very cute, but I really love the sampler.
Your binding kit turned out beautifully but..is that chocolate I spot in there?! You'd better eat it quickly before it melts ;-)
The goody goody binding kit is fantastic! Well done.
Those strawberries are looking beautiful.
We are headed to the 90's today too. And humid. :(
Love your little binding kit that would be a great gift to make for quilting friends! Your project is coming along beautifully!!!!
Mmmm now I want chocolate!
Oh I love the kit. I have this little weakness of buying fabric because it's pretty and then not knowing what to do with it. Great idea! And good call on the 2 threads, so much brighter and prettier. I haven't been overly inspired on that part yet. I think I'll work on the easy fill in part for awhile. Have a great weekend
What a great little kit! That is such a lovely sampler! I really can't seem to get that queen stitch.
Congrats on the great finish and lovely stitching Annette.

Thank you for sharing the link for this great project. Your kit looks great. Nice sampler project...
Both projects are lovely! I personally prefer a thin batting and the way it looks. I think the quilting will show up better than you think as time goes on. Love your Sojourner. So so beautiful!
Very very beautiful projects.
That kit is just wonderful Annette! Love the strawberry. You did a beautiful job.
Gorgeous sampler progress too!
Hugs

Your WIP is beautiful.
Your kit is just fantastic! Great job! Your sampler looks very pretty too. Good luck!
A lovely kit with many cool features indeed. I can see that it was a fun project and it turned out so great.
Continued to take personal inventory, and when we were wrong, promptly admitted it.
Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.
Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

I have heard from people who’ve been solicited for personal loans by Antony Gordon and I know there are several people who extended such short-term loans for thousands of dollars and have not been paid back.
