hi all,
I am new to the group, and I have a question. Just found out my sailor and his wife are expecting and I wanna do a cross-stitch of course! I'd love a Navy design that I can use for a birth announcement--you know combine the baby cross-stitch and the Navy designs.....anyone have one? I've been looking online but can't find one that incorporates both. Thanks!!!!

Anita, that is really lovely! What a lot of time went into creating something that has the appearance of being very delicate! Congratulations on finishing it.

Wow - that is awesome! I think 14 months is incredibly quick, too. It would take me years to finish something like that. Good job!

Anita, that is beautiful work. I don't know if I could work on something for that long. But the end result is obviously worth it.

I have several projects in the work, but I just don't seem to have any energy to pick them up and do anything. I'm not sure what the problem is, just no energy. One project is for my new grandbaby - due in 3 weeks!! Maybe the weather here in NE is getting to me ... The EGA chapter that my MIL belongs to is trying to make the connections, but they are finding it slow going. I just thought if someone was a member here I could help expediate things. Thanks, DeeS. I'm glad to know the local chapter was the best place to start. I'll just be patient and let them do their thing!

Hi Proud Navy/NYPD Mom,
Most cities have an EGA chapter - I wonder if you could contact your local chapter and ask them if they have rights to the copyright? Or if they can help you get in touch with that chapter to ask for rights? Good luck!
I just finished Holy Night and now I have FOUR projects ready to go! If only I had more time to stitch. Oh well - half the fun is kitting up my projects.
Have a great day and weekend!

I just found out that the "kissing" pillows are copyrighted to the Yellow Rose Chapter of the Embroidery Guild of America. Anyone a member of that group?

LLovesmysailor, thank you. I did check out the special hugs section. I also contacted Kimmy whose so creative to ask her opinion. Haven't heard from her yet as to if and how she would want to use them.
deeS, thank you for the link. I will look into it and I will let you know.
Do you think anyone else would want to get involved if this were to be attempted as a project for Special Hugs?
In case someone doesn't know about Special Hugs, it is a project that ships items to the wounded in field hospitals in Afghanistan. (Very brief description.) You can check it out in Molly's Adopt a Sailor under discussions.
Thanks for the info so far,
NYPD (everyone shortens it since we are all Navy Moms!!)

NYPDMom, I would check out the special hugs section of Molly's adopt a sailor. They send packages to sailors and soldiers who need some extra love.
