Here is a photo of our stitching day on Saturday. It is at DD#3's home. The only "older" person there was me. Everyone else here was 30 or younger. Front row-(l to r)-Amy, DD#1, DD#3, and Susan. Back row-Laura and me. Everyone was cross-stitching or knitting or both. DD#2 was missing on Saturday, but she is quite the experienced stitcher,too. I had quite a time trying to find something I could see to stitch on without my lighted magnifier. I finally chose BBD Hedgerow Birds as the fabric is 20 ct, it was a January challenge project, AND I sat under the dining room lights. :) Thanks for hosting, DD#3!

How fun! and how blessed you are to have everyone so near for shared stitching time!
That looks like it was a lot of fun and I think it's wonderful to pass the craft down to the next generation. Sometimes I think they get caught up in all the technology of gadgets and don't learn the simple pleasure of creating!
How wonderful and probably so much fun....
How neat you get to share this with your family and friends!
Looks so fun, wish I could have been there!

Awesome! I hate the image of stitching as being an 'old lady' thing to do. I started in college, but had a girlfriend who stitched from childhood and another of our friends used to tease her when she wanted to stay home and work on a project. Go figure, some people just don't get it.
Lovely photo, such a cute family stitching moment :)
Best wishes,

Really is wonderful to see generations stitching together! We don't see enough of it these days. Lorrie
