QUESTION: Who have been the best and worst recipients you have stitched gifts for??

Best: My mum loved a fireside cat i did as it reminded her of our one that passed away.

I don't really have a worst recipient, i have a worst attitude though. I said to my dad i was cross stitching, he said "are you that bored!!!!" We're not exactly close :rotfl:

Skoobie - He is coming along really nicely, it's great when the bacstith brings a design to life

Hmm still no stitching and long and tedious governors meeting tonight Got stich and b**ch with friends tomorrow night though so plan to get on with ickle bits of fairy chart (Ems birthday not till end of Sept!) Than got to finish m-i-l's flower vase cross stitch. Good job I've got 2 weeks off starting next friday wooohhooooooo

Have started quilt square for lovequilts just to keep me going a tiny bit - am being oh so careful with it (am normally a bit messy on the back cos life is too short) but this is going to be made into a quilt for a poorly child so wanted it to look smart and neat.

Hello,

I am still getting on with my Calendar Bears, but my HAE chart arrived today :j it's huge!

I want to get all the threads and stuff sorted, I am going abroad for 8 months from the end of June so am taking it with me.

It says how many skeins I need, but I assume that it based on using the recommended 25 count linen. However the Sewalong site said it could also be stitched on 18 count aida, which I think is more realistic. So how do I work out how many skeins I need for that?

Hi everyone had some great news when I went to the hospital the lump is nothing serious :j :j

I'm also doing a square for love quilts, started it today but not done much yet, trying to find charts to do other squares too, i'm hoping I don't make a mess of it though!

funfairprincess I hope you're feeling better

Nmm well done it looks great :T

sk00bie that design is gorgeous I love it

Louise I would have been so sad about that cushion! :eek: not had z worst yet but the best was a few weeks ago I did a new job card for my dad it was only a little thing but my mom and dad were so grateful for the thought

Louise just wanted to say thanks again for the princess sleeps here . I started it this morning and my grandaughter spotted the chart and she's thrilled that it's going to be for her.
