Picked up my frame and stand today, my erasable pen arrived too, so itching to get started now on Tenby Harbour, but too busy tonight & 2morrow, it will have to wait until Saturday

Is that the Michael Powell Tenby kit? I've got that one too - it's going to be my next big project but I'm not letting myself start it until I have finished off my other unfinished projects:D

Seconded - very neat!

I have started a discussion thread in the Flickr group for the Cut Thru SAL.

It's here http://www.flickr.com/groups/1577253@N21/discuss/72157625763321842/

If you're a member of the group you can post your photo to the group and then put it in the discussion so they are all kept together.

Hope you all enjoy your kits!

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: you've not seen the back!!! I'm the most untidy stitcher ever, and was about fighting with the metallic thread when I started the blanket, but thank you for the compliment anyway :o

Hope everyone's having a great night!xxx

I haven't used it myself yet, but it was recommended on this thread last year but I have forgot who (might have been chicky that posted it, or sweetcarer):o

i think it looks really cute so far

I just looked up the finished design...any chance you could ;) it in my direction perhaps?


Re. the alphabet discussion - I get that mag but have no idea what alphabet you mean

It is, got it from Stitcher with my birthday money, at the time it was quite a bit cheaper than from Michael Powell's own site: http://www.stitcher.co.uk/do-search.asp?searchtext=tenby

Had to wait until xmas though to get some more cash to buy a new frame and stand before I could start it!!

Just had an email from Michael Powell - his sale starts tomorrow, upto 50%:



I'm tempted, but am also tempted with the Rainbow Peacock, not sure if I'm brave enough to order from a US site though, but it will be at least £10 cheaper than a UK site, has anyone else bought from overseas?

:mad: Wish I'd seen this freebie site before, have just ordered a Jane Greenoff cross stich designer CD! Oh well, it wasn't too expensive, may as well keep it!
