Happy Birthday Ray

June 12, 2023

from the Stoney Creek Cross Stitch Collection (July/August, 1993)

I usually try to find something fish related for Ray’s card but a quick search on my computer didn’t bring up anything that would work for this year. When the reminder for the card came up on my computer though I had made a note of a pattern in one of my magazines that might work. Several months ago I started going through my magazines and marking ones I wanted to make and divesting of any that didn’t have something I wanted to make. It took a bit of searching to find the pattern book but eventually I was successful.

I did all of the stitching for this at the Lodge in Vancouver. It took a trip to two different Michael’s to get the floss that was missing from my collection.

I only used a portion of the pattern so I will be able to make at least two more cards for the following years.
