Hello and WELCOME to Jo's Country Junction. I've been blogging here since 2009. That's a long time. Through the years readers have watched the lives of my family unfold from weddings to the gutting and remodeling of a foreclosure house, to farm life, to publishing quilts, to the births of grandchildren. I use my blog as somewhat of a journal and open it up and let you all in.

I didn’t get much stitching time this week. Any time I did have was spent in the sewing room working on my projects there. I squeezed in just a little time and I’m going to tell you what I accomplished in that short time. I didn’t get a lot stitched on my Merry Little Christmas …

I thought I would do a recap on my cross stitch finishes for 2024. I started out with a bang and had lots of finishes. That quickly slowed in April after I started dating. A social life really cuts into stitching time but it’s all okay. I will give up stitching time to hang out …

It’s Christmas night as I am writing this. I am off hanging out with the family today but didn’t want to leave you hanging with no blog post. I didn’t have a full week of stitching but still managed to get some done. It’s thanks to watching quite a few football games. Thank goodness Arnie …

I told you last weekend I was busy trying to accomplish some things. One of the things on my list was to finish this. I know many of you are looking at that thinking, you finished stitching that a while ago. The funny thing is, I thought I had too but a blog reader pointed …

Happy news friends, I got some cross-stitch time last week. I told you Arnie was away last weekend so that left me with lots of time to cross-stitch and sew. I took advantage. I put all of my stitching time into And God Saw piece. It’s a Teresa Kogut piece from Market this Spring. I …

I was a sewing mad woman this week and had a lot of company over Thanksgiving weekend so my cross stitch suffered. On Sunday Arnie and I watched some football and I stitched. I was bound and determined that this week I would finish my There is Room piece. It’s from the Proper Stitcher. Here …

Cross stitch only happened a couple of evenings for me over the last week. Then when I did stitch, I only stitched for a half hour at a time…so I have little to share. So little that I’m not even going to show you. But…good news. Kelli was home over Thanksgiving and she brought cross …

I am here today to announce a new stitch along. Liz and I debated about doing another one this year or to take a holiday break. I ended up seeing this one and wanted to stitch it. It’s called Merry Little Christmas by Shakespeare’s Peddler. It should be a fast stitch as words typically go …
