I know -here was me thinking "I can do them of a weekend as a change from my big one"


they are only about 82 x 37 stitches -unless you add the border -then they are 112 x 69 -but they have added stitches -including:-

• smyrna cross
• satin cushion
• triple leviathan
• crossed rice
• algerian eyelet
• small tassel
• damond eyelet
• mosaic leaf
• crossed rice flower
• cashmere

:rotfl:...never heard of most of them -but I must admit they look really nice on the finished pic

Oh....My....Word.....:eek:

A lot bigger than they looked in the pics then....flipping heck they will be a challenge in themselves just learning all those stitches:rotfl:

Just wanted to say Thank You to everyone who has replied to my message.

Smudged chart-I'm sure if you email Bothy Threads they'll send a replacement. Obviously I have it at home, but won't be able to email it for a while & that'll be wasting valuable stitching time!

Hi Ruth, hope you are doing ok.

Some more lovely work everyone. My Humphrey is taking its time, mostly due to a baby who sleeps brilliantly at night but not much during the day, and when she does I need to clean and stuff. But he is coming along slowly and now I can load them up I'll try to do a weekly (ish) update to try to keep motivated.

My plan to clean the house yesterday and stitch tomorrow when slightly awry but I'm hopeful I'll be able to get a bit done and maybe conitinue in the evenings if I can encourage Kezia to go to sleep earlier.

I had a look on ebay, these seem reasonable:

Thank you. I ended up buying some square ones from this seller I thought they would be good for cross stitch but my 3.5 year old could also draw his 'happy face' pictures & put them inside for gifts as well

Hi Maria

Sorry for the delay in posting. I do indeed have the dictionary of Bras scanned so if you want to PM me your email address I'll get it to you tonight.

Hi

Been following this thread for a while but too shy to post.

nway, I'm in a bit of a panic at the moment - I'm half way through doing a cross-stitch for my Gran's 80th birthday but have recently moved and have lost the chart. Its a long shot, but has anyone done the Japanese Garden by Maia or know how I could get another copy of the chart?

Thanks

Generally most of the cross stitch companies are happy to provide new charts if you call and ask. They may want proof that you had one though, i.e. a receipt so if it was a gift (or e-bay purchase) that might not work. If I had one I'd send it to you but I don't, maybe someone else round here will be able to help.

Also, welcome to the thread, we're a friendly bunch so no need to be shy. And we'd love to see pictures of your work!
