Cross-stitch cafe 2010

Sorry to hear about your grandma Ruth, hope you are doing okay. :grouphug:

For those of you having trouble with Photobucket, have you considered using Flickr? I use this one and don't have any trouble uploading pictures to it.

I'll do an update later on, I've had two days to myself, so been able to kick butt on the cross-stitch.

Hi there Awesome2

I have never done one -but I have just found them a bit cheaper :j
I have never used the site though (someone else on here may have)

http://www.stitchability.co.uk/silhouettes_cross_stitch_kits.htm

I don't think they look difficult as there seems to be big chunks of 1 colour -so I would think they should be quite quick....

As I mentioned in my post (No. 956), I have scanned my mum's Silhouette charts. PM me your e mail address if you would like them.

Right, sheep, cow and pig all together





Everything has arrived for the Stocking now so I've put the Symphony frame together thanks to the instructions shown on here and have done the first 9 stitches. Will work that and the Humphreys Corner pics in tandem I think.

Hope you are all well, xxx

Ruth_honey, i'm new on this thread and don't know you, but i wanted to wish you well. I lost my nan at christmas and understand how hard it can be. Take very good care of yourself.

I started a DMC house kit on tuesday, and am almost finished, but have got stuck.

I'm sure you'll laugh, but I'm just not sure how to do the last few stitches that are on their own. I don't know how to start or end them if i'm not doing a whole row or shape. I realise it's not great to have long trails going on the back from one place to another as they could be seen. Please help! It's the red stitches on the ends of the branches, oh, i suppose they are apples!?

Can you run the thread under the 'branch' stitches that are leading up the the red x's? You shouldn't be able to see the threads then.

Alternatively, you could use a few red seed beads?
