Thanks so much for posting them - I think my favorite one is the one on black - but I like them all! Aren't they just the smuggest, most glorious things?

Spent almost as much buying a piece of proper yellow fabric as I'd spent on the whole kit. You’re not alone–I bought a kit with a pattern of the Chat Noir poster, but it came with a hideous tan aida.

We have a neighbor who has one. She learned it in Portugal. I found a website (http://www.rosarios4.com/), but it would be so nice to have a US connection. Anyone know of any?

A nicely alliterative name, but still just a name. Sure, we may vent some, but the majority of the conversation is about stitching (lots of show n tell) or sharing news. But definitely not a negative tone overall. In my own experience, “stitch n bitch” is just a name. A nicely alliterative name, but still just a name.

I will be telling people to find their own patterns that work on a 60x60 thread grid. I will be pointing people to your site so if you get some odd downloads of patterns you will know what is going on.
