Cross Stitch Cafe 2011

Flat_Eric

Attention all Margaret Sherry fans!!!

Head to the shops (I guess Smiths?) on Friday for a special publication featuring her designs.

Price is £9.99:eek:
I saw mention of this on the Cross Stitcher facebook page - from the pics it showed of the front cover, I couldn't see if there were any new designs but just a repeat of old designs that have been featured in the different mags over the years but i guess to have them all in one chart book will be very handy and I suspect the mag will sell like hot cakes!

ERICS_MUM

Yet another stitcher apologising for being AWOL. Been spending time with Mum to calm her down a bit before her first cataract operation tomorrow afternoon (the worse of her 2 eyes).

She's pinning all her hopes on it being successful because she can't see properly to do her cross stitch at the moment and she's got loads of kits she's itching to start. She produces some lovely pieces considering she's 87 years old. This is one she did last year:

Please keep your fingers crossed for mum tomorrow afternoon.

Hi again bubbles, we'll get used to you being around!
All the best to your mum, erics mum... I,m sure she'll be fine, good to u to show us her work - I'm so impressed she's still able to stitch - gives me hope for my retirement years even though theyre half a life time away!
Flat Eric - thanks.. Not sure I'll get it but thanks for info... Not been on Xstitcher fb page since they dis-allowed user posts..

I'll keep my fingers crossed for your Mum, erics mum. My Dad has his done last year and he's fine now.

I'm back again, I had to tell you all of my luck today a stitching shop must have gone bust locally as my local charity shop had about 70 kits and loads of trinket boxes (2 each), a clock, a stitchable footstool and even as necklace to stitch. I was just beaten to a gorgeous john clayton kit but bought these:



a vervaco cushion for £5



This one I need help with, its was £4 and has beads with it but no pattern, it is labelled as SUNFLOWERS CSC 18803. I got it cos I love the ideas. Anyone any ideas how I can find the chart?



Evenweave for £1!



a beaded rose for £2



A spring cosy kit for £1.50

and



I found this one its by dimensions and its called majestic peacock (selling for £50 in some shops!) but I cant find anywhere to just buy the chart.

I have so much to do now!!

oh and so you can see how close I was at Take That

:hello: Have been popping into your cafe for a little while now and would love to join you all.

I have just ordered a Michael Powell kit and can't wait for it to arrive and get started - my fingers are twitching in anticipation

Your pictures are amazing - will probably need your help when I come to posts my pics. There's positivity for you - postie hasn't even delivered it yet

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for your lovely welcome Bubbles.

My kit arrived this afternoon ejs2311 - its one of the Cottage Garden ones. Can't wait to get started but it looks as though I won't be able to until the weekend (arrrggggghhhhhh)

Hope everything goes well for your Mum, Erics Mum. Her picture looks really lovely. Hope she gets back to her stitching very soon.

We had all that at 5am this morning in Cumbria was fun. I think we even had a power cut as the microwave clock reset :rotfl:

OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i had such a crush on Mark Owen when they first started in the 90's, my bedroom was plastered wall to ceiling with posters. I even bought all the TT official mags, probably worth something now, lol.

Morning ladies.


Blue eyed girl, welcome to the cafe! :j

Marru. Good luck with your exam today!

Linda. That piece by your Mum is lovely and I hope I can still stitch when I'm 87. Wishing her all the best with her op today.

Bubbles. What brilliant bargains!! I have taken a note of the charts you are after and will keep an eye out for them.
