afternooon,

does anyone have the chart of charlies ark "special delivery" (the cot one) that they have finished with?? I can't really justify buying it when I have other birth samplers I could use instead but I reallly like this one.

thanks in advance.

Afternoon all

Just taking a break from the sewing before I go cross eyed :shocked: -ecky thump this chart is "interesting" -its very similar to a big blue dragon on a celtic ring I did for my niece -teeny tiny symbols and 1 of this 1 of that -so me thinks this could be quite a long project :rotfl:

Witchwoopiggy -I have just looked back and I started "forest light" on the 5th september -but there were 3 whole months when I came out of the hospital that I didn't even have the energy to look at it -let alone do any -so it has taken me about 2.5 months....Im amazed as I thought it was longer than that

Sweetcarer - can I ask what the stitch count is on your "golden earth" and how many colours it has? only I seem to remember there being some difference in the finished sizes and can't figure out how -unless the stitch count is different :think: -it is driving me nuts :rotfl: -and if it the same as the one I have -can you start it asap -so I have someone to go cross eyed with please

Right -better get back and get some done ...happy stitching everyone

I bought a disc with a load of Charlie's Ark charts on it from ebay, and that's one of them (I stitched 'Christmas Eve)

If you pm me your email addy, I can send it to you.

hello? can i visit? :wave: i'm usually over in the sewing thread, or Old Style, but i've a question that i hope someone here can answer.

i sew (mostly stuffies and patchwork), and embroider too. But a friend has got me into the idea of XSticth. And i'm liking it a lot . I've bought the xstitch magazine with the Japanese Doll kit attached, and have got all excited .

I'm going on holiday abroad soon, and will take some stitching with me to do there, but after seeing the DMC thread cutter pendant in a craft store today and seeing that it says on the wrapper it's 'airplane safe', i've been thinking... does anyone have any recent-ish experience of sewing on a plane? or is it banned? even if the cutter is safe (direct.gov now say blunt scissors under 3cm are ok), how about the needle?

thanks for any advice. oh, and i'm totally overwhealmed by the size and scope of your projects - they are amazing!

I went abroad on a plane recently and was fine taking one needle on board. I packed another in the hold just in case something happened to that one but there were no problems with the one I kept with me on the flight.

Hello! :beer:

You sure can visit us here!

Hmm I've not tried it myself, but have seen somewhere to check with the airline that you are fliying with.

I have the clover one myself and it works a treat, I tend to loop the chain I have around the wrist that I hold my loop with as it's easier to use than round my neck.

Good luck
