Gathering enough stitching supplies was a challenge this week. I am grateful that my Aunt was kind to give me a hoop and thread.

I visited my parents last week and forgot all of my stitching supplies in a closet. I was hiding it from a young cat my parents were watching. My town is small and I have to drive an hour to buy stitching supplies.

I have a little experience with the Herringbone stitch. In 2010 I participated in the 39 Squares Stitchalong. For one of my freestyle embroidery squares I stitched a tiny bit of Herringbone.
