Today is Valentine's Day and it is also the start of Gay Ann Rogers's Valentine Day sale of her kits. Gay Ann's charted designs are feminine and beautiful and only sold a few times a year. Because it is Valentine's Day, a lot of her designs will be hearts. The sale starts at 8 a.m. California time today. Have fun exploring and seeing what treats Gay Ann got us for Valentine's!

Bobbin and Fred Do Valentine's Day

When to Compensate and When to Not Compensate
Melissa Prince's Japan Travel Coaster |
I'm currently stitching the mountain in the background of the "Japan Travel Coaster" from Melissa Prince Designs. Working on the mountain brings up an interesting point—how to handle compensation between areas when you are using the same stitch for them all. I'm stitching the mountain using the same stitch, but changing threads as the colors of the mountain change. When I finished, I ended up with this—
