the only thing i ask is that it is the couple is sitting down as my mate if finally marrying her boyfriend next year and i really want to stitch them a wedding sampler, but he is in a wheel chair (i do not know the circumstances) and i don't want to risk offending anyone doing a couple that are standing up .... i'm sure it wouldn't offend but i wouldn't like to risk it just incase ......

That's really thoughtful of you. I don't have any of those charts, but I will have a riffle through my chart collection and see if I have any others x


ellie - It's coming along brilliantly, it won't take long to complete at all.


Gosh ruth - it's a while since we saw that piece of work! Have you got any more stitching done on it?

thank you that will be great ... i have gone through all my "world of cross stitch" and "no1 cross stitchers" from the last 8 years (with a few gaps in issues before 2007 as they have all been brought 2nd hand when i could find them as i didn't start stitching till January 2007) ... i could see pics others have done of charts i liked (mainly the ones above) but nothing suitable (except ones with no charactors in, but i really wanted a charactor one if possible)

You can buy fabric with the lines already on it and they wash out

Or you can buy a pen and draw them yourself and they wash out too

Wow amazing stuff - why have I (and my stitching friends) never seen or heard of this before??!!!! I have got three big projects I have been putting off and this would definitely help me get started - am very over excited about simple things!

In world of cross stitching issue 154 (July 2009) there is a couple on a tandem which is quite fun and I'm considering doing for my friends getting married in November - would that be suitable?

MummyClaire_3

yep i have found that (and love it) but i don't think it is suitable .... i know he can drive but not sure about riding a bike ... and if i can get a sitting down one that would be my preference.....

i know its being a bit picky but wouldn't like to offened anyone and i have no idea what his family are like .....

There was a lovely free kit of t margaret sherry cats sharing a swing which came as a free kit with Cross Stitcher about a year ago. Unfortunately I don't have that issue but try searching the cover kits on ebay for it. You can use larger fabric and put your own words on but that picture was lovely.

This is very expensive for a cover kit but if you can find the chart somewhere and make your own kit it's a lovely picture

Better now - than 1/2 way through - as its in orginal condition I should be able to send back and get a refund :cool:

I keep finding stuff I want to do - I end up doing stuff as presents or other people - of all the cross stitch I've done - I don't have any! There are several projects I want to do ... just need a few more hours in the day!
