Especially the trellis stitch. That only takes a few minutes. Just try it out!<br /><br />@the momma--since school is back in session I spend a fair amount of time in the carlines at two different schools=perfect time for handwork. I just bring snacks for the littlest ones and we are quite content to be confined!<br /><br />@Elizabeth--the first two photos <i>are</i> the very porch in my story!
