I was struck with inspiration after reading on a blog about a Readathon and thought, 'Why not a Stitchathon?'<br /><br />The basic idea behind the Stitchathon is to devote as much time as possible to stitching within a 12 hour period. At the start and end of the Stitchathon, and perhaps also periodically throughout the day, participants will post progress photos on the About.com cross stitch forum so that we can all check in to see the progress that is being made.<br /><br />I am currently holding voting to select a date for the Stitchathon. The choices are Sunday, November 15 or Saturday, November 21. If you are available on either of those days and would like to join in the fun, then please head over to the <a href="http://forums.about.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?tsn=1&nav=messages&webtag=ab-crossstitch&tid=10028" target="_blank">forum</a> to express your interest by voting for one of the dates.<br /><br />Happy stitching all!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1628720456081897482-4294483238838188610?l=crossstitchconfetti.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17688063640370554372noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628720456081897482.post-24701101874591950282009-10-29T20:49:00.001-04:002009-10-29T20:57:38.340-04:00<strong><a href="http://www.justnan.com/" target="_blank">Just Nan</a></strong><br />It's never too early for some <em>Christmas Cheer</em> in the form of Just Nan's 2009 Christmas ornament!<br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o_M9HhzYhSk/Suof_sfYlCI/AAAAAAAACXk/sMqZb73B_14/s1600-h/Christmas+Cheer.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398162282491974690" style="WIDTH: 177px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_o_M9HhzYhSk/Suof_sfYlCI/AAAAAAAACXk/sMqZb73B_14/s200/Christmas+Cheer.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="FONT-SIZE: 78%; TEXT-ALIGN: center">Christmas Cheer<br />Fibers: Au Ver A Soie<br />Fabric: 32 ct.

I am interested in learning who your favorite designers are so that I can add them to the list of designers that I blog about. I can't possibly cover all of the great designers out there; I have to limit myself to the one's that I think are the most popular. Of course, your feedback would be invaluable here, and in return I can bring you news of the latest designs from your favorites!<br /><br />So, please do leave me a comment and let me know which designers you love most, including those that I already may blog about.<br /><br />Have a great day!<br /><br />Donna<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1628720456081897482-8260952619042943257?l=crossstitchconfetti.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Donnahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17688063640370554372noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628720456081897482.post-61042335297650340692009-10-18T15:32:00.005-04:002009-11-04T21:12:56.477-05:00<strong><a href="http://www.freewebs.com/cmanningdesigns/" target="_blank">CM Designs</a></strong><br />Let's start with cutesy, shall we?
