The cross-stitching UFO club

Before:


This week:


I've not been able to stitch much on Crisp Afternoon, as I haven't had the space to get it all out, so I've done some more on Newtons Law, as it's much smaller, so I can stitch it without taking up half of the room!

Everyone's UFOs are looking great. Well done! :T

Well here is an update on the tabecloth, I felt that I done a fair old whack until I took a photo of it. Have been really good and not done anything but the tabecloth, well apart from reupholstering 4 dining room chairs, two left to go, though don't think I will finish it by the end of the month as the rugby season has started so there goes my saturdays, which were lazy days (well if you count housework manic cooking and baking and sewing lazy). Sewing will be relagated to evenings again.
Have seen so many nice kits and projects on here and the cross stitch thread.... will never catch up on all my sewing at this rate.
Think I will definatley have some smalll kits/projects that are more portable to do at the same time, jam jar tops/xmas cards for the xmas hampers I feel would be a good tactical move.

Evening all

I am doing my weekly updat 1 day early as *drum roll please* I have gone from -this last week :-

To THIS.....

I've done :dance: -well, the x-stitch bit is done :jso I now will wash it in the morning and then leave it to dry -and wait until I have arranged to get my frame made -then once I have ordered it I will add the details

Until then -here is the next UFO on my list (only unfinished as I wanted to make sure I could get the one above done in time for mum xmas pressie:A:rotfl:)
so this is my celtic summer -it shouldn't take much to finish her -then she can go up with the other 2 (still leaving 3 from the set to do )-sorry the colours aren't very good but I had to use the flash -will try and get a better one tomorrow;)

Then -I can make a start on a newby :eek::j....
Hope everyone else is getting time to do some
Ocemeer -that table cloth is really starting to take shape :T

Hi all

Jst been reading through all the post, ive done a few kits in the past but nothing huge i have jst found this and love it for my daughters room http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/db.cgi?db=zoom&uid=&Prod_Code=28824&ww=on&do=search_results

but where would start stitching that ? in the middle ? and work out and do u work row by row ? or move around and jst count the squares ?

Thankyou

mind if i join you ladies

ive got the following cross stitches unfinished

country companions sunflowes - working on this at the mo
micky and friends flying carpet (needs restarted as messed up so bad. started it around 10 years ago and it was to big a project for a beginner hence the mistakes)
a couple of small winnie the pooh xstitches (no idea where the threads are so need to raid mum's stash for the ones im missing).

my plan of action is as follows

1. continue with the country companions project. at the moment i've done around a third of the stitching needed.
2. when i get to mums and get the threads I need finish the small winnie the pooh projects.
3. start back with country companions and finish it.
4. do a wedding sampler for best friends wedding in november 2010.
5. do the micky and friends flying carpet.

I want to get the small projects out the way so that there is less on my to do list

Well done MRSMC, she's beautiful!

I love the Celtic Summer lady too, so pretty in pastel shades.

What a coincidence - there are a couple of us who have not long completed that design (mine was earlier in the thread lol) I started in the centre and followed the lettering outwards, it was really easy to do.

Well folks, I decided to continue - so it was looking like this when I found my UFO in the shed

Then I gave it a very good wash and restarted last week. Now a week later it now looks like this

Everyones work is looking great - well done Mrs Mac in getting your lady done. Hope all is well with everyone.
