Getting to Know Featured Stitcher Lisa P.

Let’s get into the stitching questions and have some fun getting to know Lisa, her projects, and her crafty stash…

What’s your favorite type of cross stitch project to work on?

I like like working on all types of designs.

Do you have a favorite designer?

I don’t just have one. I like Joan Elliot, Jane Greenoff , Nia cross stitch.

How big is your stitching stash?

I couldn’t give a total size but it is rather large it fills an old airing cupboard , and some storage boxes .

How long have you been stitching? How did you learn?

I have been stitching since I was 7 years old . My mum taught me as I was in and out of hospital as a child due to my disability.

Do you watch television or listen to music (or podcasts) when you stitch; what’s your favorite way to fill the sound void?

I listen to the tv while I stitch.

Slightly related, but non-stitchy question: What are you currently reading and/or binge watching?

I like to watch Holby City, Casualty, and A Place to Call Home

Jasper

Other than your current project and favorite needle, what is one thing you must have while stitching?

A nice hot cup of tea and my pet cat Jasper.

Do you have any “in real life friends” to share your stitching with in person, or maybe a local get together with a local stitch group? Tell us about so we can be jealous!

I have a friend who I speak to regularly on face time while we both stitch.

What stitched project finish are you most proud of?

I have stitched a couple later . One was of a couple who got married last year and another one of a brother and sister (as a remembrance gift).

The couple sampler took me 18 months to stitch.

The brother/sister sampler took me 6 weeks to stitch.

Lisa, thank you so much for hanging out with me and sharing your stitchy life with us! I really appreciate it and I enjoyed seeing your favorite projects today.
