Ruth's Friendship Fellowship-Everyone Welcome, Come On In Part 4

[Ruth]

For cross stitch special fabric is used along with embroidery floss and little Xs are stitched for the pattern. It's really hard on the eyes!

It would be hard on my eyes, I wear glasses and it's hard to see close up.

There are giant magnifying glasses that are on a stand and I'm seriously thinking of getting one! They're around $50 though so maybe I should put it on my Christmas list!

I have some but find them hard to use. Oh mine are not glasses.

Well these aren't glasses but a huge piece of glass to hold over a project and it's freestanding. It's pretty cool for crafting.

That's good to know!

Is it a sunny day where you live? We had some sun and it was nice and warm for a while but the rain clouds are creeping in.

About the same here Bill.

Happy Weekend to all of you!

 

[Lamb]

Happy Weekend, Ruth. I've had a busy Saturday and hope to rest after church tomorrow...well, I want to do my walk too though.

I can't take a walk today. It's snowing.

I cant stand snow and cold brr

 

[Lamb]

I love the snow but I rarely go walking in it. Last year we didn't get a lot of snow where I live so I was able to do a lot of walking outside. I really should get a new belt on our treadmill someday so I can walk inside too. It's just not as fun.

I like the snow when it's just a little bit and you can still walk on the sidewalks.

I used to have a treadmill but I sold it. I hope to go for a walk today even if it's not far.

Just never got used to the cold, I love snow if I am watching it from a warm room

I know what you mean. Watching the snow from indoors is a great activity!

Yes, I do like that part,

Hi Ruth, do you do cross stitch? I have some fun patterns I want to make for ornaments for my nieces and nephews.

Hi ... You ladies who sew might like this ... I was at the 110th anniv. of one church I attend Sunday, (a really nice affair, btw) and they had all these archives up front on display from over the years. Hanging up was a big tablecloth w alot of signatures on it.

What it was, ... Some years back some of the members would have potluck dinners, going roundrobin at diff members houses. One lady had a big tablecloth on her dining room table, and she would have the diff guests sign their name on it (rather largely) with a marker.

She eventually hand-EMBROIDERED the signatures (there may be 20+ of them) in diff colors, and now all these years later there's this nice tablecloth that can be handed down as a sort of practical memorial, and a way for beloved friends/family from the past (when the congregation was MUCH bigger) to still 'say hello' and perhaps to remind ppl of the importance to keep together in love as friends and brothers and sisters in Christ and also a pointer towards the feast to come at the banquet table with Jesus.

That was a really great way of preserving their memories, Snerfle! A lady at my former church used photos and printed them onto fabric then made a huge quilt for the church anniversary.
