Donna, host of CrossStitch on the Hill, shares a relaxed Friday morning stitching session on her current project, Grace by The Artsy Housewife.

She discusses the challenges of the pattern, including tricky symbols and the need to carefully count stitches, and shares tips for newer stitchers, such as writing down colour changes and keeping threads organised in zip-lock bags.
