    I have been juggling my books and I will buy my own threads (need to get some for the anniversery stitching I have to do in the summer) - but can I get help with the material as I guess we all want to be the same or will plain 14hpi white do - I think I have some somewhere?
    :j cross stitch forever, housework whenever :j

    Bubbles Big thanks to your mom :) thank you to all the people offering to help with the quilting bit

    It is exciting that
    Martin is on board isn't it! I really hope he likes it, I'm sure he will :):):)

    Sweetcarer we will hopefully be getting fabric donated or at a discount so don't worry about that :)

    As far as I'm aware it's 14ct aida which was decided on for the squares - if you don't have any stashed away, drop me a pm and I will post some on to you x


    Edited to add: I just checked the first posts re. matching fabric - it is branded stuff, so it's not an off-white or anything.

  • I will probably need someone to donate threads to me- unless no one can then i will have to wait till i order threads for my "A dictonary of..." charts. I also dont have any white 14ct Aida, i will be buying aida soon so i can buy some but can anyone reccomend somewhere cheap for it?

    Oh also i dont have pinking shears so wont beable to do that bit.

    Tbh I wouldn't worry about that. I don't have pinking shears either so will just leave more border than I would have previously, I'm sure the quilter will cut it to the size they need rather than me possibly ruining the edges.:o
