Home Sweet Home

"Home Sweet Home" is a saying that has been parodied and poked fun at and we may agree that the sentimental expression borders on the treacly. But, anyone who has been away from home and was glad to return knows the feeling the saying embodies all too well. I like to travel, but my favorite part of the trip is usually getting home (and sleeping in my own bed).

Stitch this Home Sweet Home design with the floss colors of your choice. I used DFN floss in solid and variegated colors for my version. Experiment with colors to match your home decor or try some new stitches. This design is quick and easy to stitch.

If you need help with stitching with specialty flosses such as variegated or even filaments, Forum Member Kathy has come the the rescue with some great tips. Be sure to check them out.
