It sounds like a very nasty start to storm season. As for cross stitch, if it is printed I start top left, if it is counted I start in the middle(ish!). It is most unlike me because I don't usually follow "rules"!! Enjoy!

Clean up is no fun, but better than damage.<br /><br />I don't start in the middle of cross stitch, because I could never have the patience to do that kind of work. I admire those of you who can do it, and love seeing the results. Hope we'll get to see photos of your gifts after Christmas.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493189870800125021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-35353275570641433752016-09-03T13:13:03.325-07:002016-09-03T13:13:03.325-07:00I, too, was taught to cross stitch from the middle...I, too, was taught to cross stitch from the middle.

Knowing everything, even way back then, I carefully counted threads, and started in the lower left, when you always start! I did top to bottom OK, but missed left and right, big time. The right hand border was possible six threads wide. I won't tell you what I did to make it look good, and then hid the evidence under a frame all those years. Perhaps you should begin in the middle.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-911604654446032587.post-80920124158245406512016-09-02T16:10:10.643-07:002016-09-02T16:10:10.643-07:00Glad you and your home are safe from the storm.

I am glad you and yours are safe thus far in the latest storm to blow your way. I have done very little cross stitching, but can remember at least once attempting to start in the middle of the piece.
