How about plain old stitcher or even cross stitcher.

Ok dokes, I am all done with the donations square - here is some piccys to share.:j

Just lettering (in red)



With gold border



All done - washed and pressed






Didn't find my big iron - so had to use my wee travel one. Still wonder if kitten nicked it. See my thread on other thread about cats nicking stuff.

Kind wishes to all

Looks great sweetcarer! :T

If anyone still wants me to stitch another square, I need another Aida square...as well as details of what to sew.

Mind you, I am off to Scotland next week (6th) and wont be back until the 18th...so if you want something done more quickly, then best to ask someone else.

Going to have a go at stitching by the light of my new lamp tonight...looks wonderful...it is coming to Scotland with me .

Will pop on again over the weekend...this quilt is going to look soooo good when it's done!

Sweetcarer It looks great :j :T
Keiss I hope you have a great hol

Looks like not many people are sure on the sewers/sowers thing lol Sweetcarer Id have gone with stitcher/cross stitcher but I was on about the non cross stitchers who are putting the quilt together, I like the word sewers better than sowers so im sticking to that for now lol :)

Hi Lellypants glad you like the look of them :j

Hope everyone is ok xx

:eek: i've finished my quilt square!!! shock!! wow!!! :j :j :j

I had cause to sit tending my car for an hour and made sure i had the alphabet with me and sat and figured it out. it's now washed and drying... perhaps with this heat i'll even be able to post it out today! :T

sorry i have no time to chat or catch up still.. i might have to run a 2hr errand for a friend in need. oh well at least the square is a weight off my mind. and only 9 days late on the challenge!

Thanks Emzy!

What about 'Needleworker' That's what the online Thesauraus is giving me, that seems to work for both type of people?

I personally say I'm a stitcher as it's part of 'cross-stitching'
