Cross Stitch Cafe 2011

tellmeitsfriday

There's a free one on the interweb that Lousie recommended - it was www.pic2point.com Try it and see if it suits your needs


Otherwise, look at this one...http://www.hobbyware.com/pm_downloads_trial.htm You can have it free for 4 days to try it out (fully functioning, but time restricted), and if you like it, you can buy it for $60-120 depending on what level you want

There are plenty of others that pop up on the googleiser, but that one above is my personal favourite. You can try most of them out for a little while

Hope that's useful

Does anyone have the issue numbers handy for any of the emily peacock cushion(s) in any magazines. Iknow I can get the alphabet - I would like to tackle the cushions - they look so colourful and fun.


It's issue 234, if you can't find it I can pop it in the post when I've finished with it

Taken from the Michael Powell Website - can someone please explain??!! I'm probably being super-thick!

Our chart packs contain:
Clear black and white charts including a separate back stitch chart.
A key which includes both Anchor and DMC numbers. Please note that the charts were first designed using Anchor threads. The DMC numbers are there for your convenience, but please note that sometimes two different colours in the Anchor range are covered by one number in the DMC range.
A page of general cross stitch instructions

SO does this mean that the stitch won't come out right then???


*Louise* I'll PM you my address and you can send the SAE x

Have a lovely stitching day all :j

Argh! So much for finishing Titanic before I start anything else. I should never have joined you guys!!! You're a bad influence!

I now have an extra long list of designs I want to start (and complete) this year and I'd never heard of most until a few days ago!

1. HUG - Emily Peacock
2. KISS - Emily Peacock
3. Penguin chart that I have been meaning to start for years
4/5. 2x Michael Powell Venice Designs
6. Kingfisher Plate by Susan Bates for Mother in Law
7. Something by Rene Macintosh

....Must finish Titanic first .....must finish Titanic!

Oh, if anyone can help out with any of these charts ;) I'll happily Paypal postage or send an SAE.

Grrrrrr I quoted some others but once again it has deleted them! I will go back and do the others tomorrow! Really annoying!

If you hit the multiquote button in the posts you want to quote it will only allow 3 quotes to go into your post.
To get around this and quote more posts in my post here's what I do.....as I read the thread and find a post I want to quote I hold down the ctrl button whilst hitting the quote button, this then opens the post I want to quote in a new window.
I carry on reading and opening quote windows as I go. Once I am done I hit the reply button at the bottom of the thread. Then I open 1 window with a quote in, copy and paste it into my empty reply then close the quote window. Keep doing this (copying and pasting) until I have all my quotes in the reply box....write my replies then submit post.

Hope that makes sense
