    Just bumping this bit up a bit from last page

    "Have got a few people to sort out still cos haven't got their SAE's/don't know their real names and cant match up letters! Have got a lovely letter and SAE from Lesley in Strathpeffer but don't know your MSE name to match up and send you the right letter - please let me know and I can send it asap. Just realised it is probably Lelc (doh) but would like to make sure before I post it, just in case (especially since my MSE name bears resemblance to my real name!)

    Still to sort/send:
    Ruth_honey
    Craftlady
    Jailhousebabe"

    Need to get started on my letter now! Any volunteers to do my french knots cos I can't do them :(

    My SAE is winging it's way to you. No rush to send it back-it'll be my June challenge anyway. :)

    please feel free to write your name and county however you are comfortaabel and think fits best in the space provided.

    Your options are:
    I.e. for Frank Bloggersbottom living in Yorkshire (username: bloggy35) he could write:

    Frank - Yorkshire
    Bloggy35 - Yorkshire
    Bloggersbottom - Yorkshire (a very tight fight)
    F. Bloggersbottom - Yorkshire (an even tighter fight)

    Hope that helps people.


    I'm going with 'First Name'- 'County' :T

    :T Looks brilliant Emzy!

    After consultation with Chickywiggle I'm now decided on first name - county. Glad a few others are too, my full name is a bit too long, it'd just look weird :rotfl:

    Good Luck with the French Knots ladies, now I look at mine again I don't think I'd have been so quick to choose the dragon if I'd seen so many of them on there LOL.
    :xmastree:What a splendid idea, this Christmas sounds fun. I fully endorse it, let's try it at once!:xmastree:

    I'm happy to do any french knots if people really don't want to do them. I quite like doing them myself.

    Now I've seen a completed square I can start mine. :j I think it'll be a lunchtime cross-stitch project rather than my main cross-stitch.


    Quick question: Do you want us to wash our own square or just post it off as is?

    Thought this might help when trying to layout your name tag.

    http://incompetech.com/graphpaper/multiwidth/

    Now I am in quandry - do I put

    J H Pless - Glasgow

    or

    Jean - East Dunbartonshire

    Still to graph it and see. Probably best the Glasgow one (as its shorter).
    Decisions, decisions.

    Kind wishes

    sweetcarer ;)

    PS French knots - argh - don't feel mine are strong enough.
    :j cross stitch forever, housework whenever :j
