A Time to Stitch 3 : Sign up March 1-7






Time to Stitch 3 is upon us.
Sign ups are March 1-7th.
The Hop is April 20th.
The Hostesses are the same, but what is asked of the Hoppers has changed just a tad.

For this Challenge:

You choose One (or more) of the following Flat Stitches ~ Brick, Ladder, or Square

                                            AND

One (or more) of the following Spiral Stitches ~ Russian Spiral, Cellini Spiral, or African Helix. 

So you will choose at least One Flat and One Spiral for the Hop.

Whatever you get done by Hop Day, please show us.  It is a challenge.  It doesn't need to be a finished project.  And there doesn't need to be any pressure.  It's just beads, after all :-D

Please sign up here or at Therese's blog.  And please be sure we have your name, blog address, and e-mail.


We really look forward to these Time to Stitch hops because you guys make it easy and fun to put together :-)  Thanks for that.  We appreciate it!


Below are suggested tutorials, but let us know if you find better ones.

O wow, what a challenge! I'm going to look at the tutorials, at least to just ooh and aah! How impressive that you're already so good at these stitches :)

Sign me up, Christine! I love all the spirals, but not the flats so much. So, it will be good to have to do something in the flats!

I will be trying as well. This will be the first time for me trying Brick, Ladder, or Square. I am a peyote girl :) I am going to try to convince my friend, Anita, to join me as well. So it is going to be fun!

So glad I saw this post, Christine. I've been traveling and just got home in time to sign up. I have never attempted a spiral stitch, and I think it's about time!
