    Hello! I've been lurking on here for a while and have finally plucked up the courage to post. I have several UFO's but one the one that is the oldest is a dreamcatcher I started about 15 years ago. ( The shame....) Anyway having seen all the wonderful stitching on here I finally got mine out again and have been slowly working away.

    So here is it at the beginning of May - I'll try and take another photo this weekend of how it looks now. I have to stay I haven't done much this last week as I hae started my square for the quilt but it is coming along nicely.

    So thank you to everyone who has posted on this thread - you've really inspired me!

    jlp123 - Welcome to the Thread! I've completed a dream catcher one, it took me a while to get into it, cos I hadn't done long stitch before. :o

    It's looking great so far!

    Love them both - have got one in my collection but not got chart for it anymore :( keep searching for the chart but have only found it in a kit and don't want to pay out for a new kit.

    Sweetcarer I must have a shockingly smutty mind cos when I saw leather I immediately thought what about a nice pair of leather shoes for you that he could admire! :eek:

    Have come home early from a meeting at work and plan to fix the mistakes in my quilt square tonight and catch up
