To answer a meme proposed by Barbara<\/a>, here are my 5 Ws of Stitching:<\/p>\n

Who taught you to stitch, and were there any special circumstances or memories surrounding this?<\/strong>
\nMy mother taught me to cross stitch when I was able 11 years old or so. I didn’t have any earlier introduction to stitching, like stamped cross stitch or embroidery; just straight into cross stitching. I remember my first project was the little owl kit that was so popular back then. Anyone remember that?<\/p>\n

What\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s your favorite thing to stitch? <\/strong>(A project, a kind of stitching, etc.)
\nI think that I like band samplers the best. That and hardanger projects. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Why do you stitch?<\/strong>
\nLike many others, I stitch because it’s relaxing to me. At least, most of the time it is, unless I’m having a frog attack. It’s also nice to finish pieces. If I could finish some bigger ones, I would definitely feel more of a sense of accomplishment. I’m working on it…<\/p>\n

When is your special stitching time?<\/strong>
\nI like to stitch on the weekends. Particularly on Sundays, when life slows down a bit.<\/p>\n

Where is your special stitching place?<\/strong> (An accompanying picture would be great!)
\nI have my stitching corner in the living room where I have my Ott Lite and a folding table serving as an end table to catch my current stitching tidbits. I also have a lined basket squeezed in on the floor next to the television stand that contains some of my WIPs and next projects.<\/p>\n

Here’s an older picture of my stitching corner. Things are a bit messier at the moment, but this was on a good day. \ud83d\ude09
