Maire's Tip on Making Time For Friends and Stitching

Maire explains how she makes time for her friends and her stitching. She writes, "I love to Cross Stitch and I love my friends but sometimes the two just do not mix so when I want to visit and cross stitch I try to do half crosses in a large area. When I am visiting and my needlework needs to get done I can do two things at once. I just finish off the last leg without having to count. I get a lot of projects finished and I also get to show a lot of women how to do needlework since I can do this just about any where."
