Surprise gift!



You record the designer, pattern, and additional notes in the top section.  Beneath are columns noting the charted color, and directly opposite the change made by the stitcher.  Moi.  

This is a wonderful gift!!  I was totally unaware of this book, which is a very simple way to note those constant changes.  Plenty of room, and no other info is really necessary so this will be a valuable tool for me.  I tried keeping a book with info on each project but recording every change or issue throughout the stitching was very inconvenient (i.e. PITA).  If I waited until the project was completed, I couldn't remember what I did weeks before to record accurately.  This will be so much simpler and helpful.  My plan is to number each page of the book and insert a card listing projects with page # assigned making them easy to find.

Thank goodness it was delivered in the plastic bubble bag and not paper envelope because a severe hail storm arrived and blew items throughout the neighbors.  Thankfully this was caught in the rocker's slats.  And we are back under a severe warning so I will show my new charts next time.

No project has been chosen yet, Scott dropped off equipment and tools to start work early Monday.  I plan to hide in my sewing room and attempt to organize, maybe do a little machine sewing.  He is a talker, and as with most people, does not understand why that's a problem for me.

Have a good start to another week.  Middle of April!!  Be safe.

To Fabric Girl- the stitching station photos are in previous posts.  Thanks!

What a cool book you shared, Marly! And look at that hail! Wow!

The changes I make to floss are so minimal that something like this would be lost on me. In any event, hope it helps. Eeek on the hail. At least you didn't yet have beautiful plants that could be damaged. ~Robin~

A whole book for floss changes? Am I a terrible person for writing the few changes I do right on the pattern? It's one less thing for me to keep track of. Though for someone who stitches a lot and makes many color changes, I could see it being useful. Having all changes in one spot might make it easier for future project floss swaps.

What a nice gift!
