Stitch and thread for the gold band between green lines 

I am continuing to devote my entire stitching staycation to the roof of my Melissa Shirley's Thanksgiving House roof.  I thought I would be finished with it all by now.  Silly woman.  I am going to keep going using my Amy Bunger stitch guide.

    1. The shingles? That is Burmilana. The green light stripe is Burmilana and Neon Rays. Does that help?

  7. Hello Steph - not sure if you got this but love your blog and wondered if you could tell me the stitch you are using on the red barn on the Sunday Meeting I can't tell but love it!

    1. I got it. It is called the Cordurory stitch. You can get the stitch guide from Amy Bunger at Amy's Golden Strand in Memphis if you are interested.

  8. Hi Steph,
    Thursday night sounds great. Amy and/or Jill usually join us for dinner and I know you will not mind that. I am supposed to be doing a Labors of Love canvas called Winter Girl. I am really looking forward to meeting you.
