Three years of survival
I am proud to announce that I have made it
to the three year mark. It was 3 years ago in January when I was
diagnosed with stage III Breast Cancer at 40 years old. I am glad
to say that I am happy, healthy, and going strong. As of today, I
am still cancer free. Thank you for your well wishes and prayers
over the years. It has meant a lot to me.

New Cross stitch
patterns by Mirabilia
Yo Ho Ho and a bottle of rum! If you enjoyed
Pirates of the Caribean, then you will love the new cross stitch pattern by Mirabilia.
The Red Lady Pirate. It was inspired by a female pirate from
the 16th century that would board pirate ships under the rouse of being
"entertainment". Once aboard, she would kill all the men pirates
and sail for sea! Pattern designed by Nora Corbett.

What's New at
Julie's X Stitch?
I am always looking for new cross stitch and
needlework products to add to my website. If you are interested in
something that you don't see on my website, please send me an email and
I will look into adding it to my store. A customer who has been
shopping here for several years asked me to add Wild Flowers floss by
Caron Collection to my website, and the next day I had it on the site
and ready to order. Caron
Wildflowers is a lot like pearl cotton floss. It is a single
strand cotton floss perfect for needlepoint, cross stitch, and Hardanger,
and even quilting. They come in 36 yard skeins. There are
261 hand dyed colors to choose from and 30 solid colors.

What is Julie working on?
I have had the stitching bug this year.
I have been completing about one cross stitch pattern
every 8 weeks. Some of the most recent cross stitch patterns I
have been working on are
"Queen Mermaid" by Mirabilia.
"Cinderella" by Mirabilia. I am also currently working on
"My Lady's Garden" by Mirabilia. I just love the vivid
colors in My Lady's Garden. Dark reds woven into the dress, and
the use of hand dyed silk floss by Caron Collection to make the flowers.
Here is a picture of a project I completed recently called "Sabrinia" by
Mirabilia. My husband framed it for me. I have it
hanging in my office. It is one of my favorites!
