Ok...I'm kicked....I'm kicked!

Thank you, ladies. I needed that. Although I haven't done any stitching this evening ::koff, splutter, lemsip moment:: I have at least taken an update shot

Even I can see that it is coming on :T

Welcome Sazdaz...

Not much stitching tonight, managed about 50 stitches before we decided to go shopping tonight instead of tomorrow. However positive of that is I get to read WOCS in bed Now how fast can I stitch the cover kit for Mum for mothering sunday? Don't want to take away from London but a stitched card will be much better than a shop bought one :j

Flowerofscotland just tried out the evenweave you sent to me, and I love it! You may well have converted me if not for all my projects defiantly some. I tried 2 over 2 and 2 over 1. I love the way the stitches look. Did a couple of little hearts. Thanks again for you kindness xxx

My only project is a small eeyore that I was given with some other kits from Louise, I love stitching it but at the moment I just can't pick it up and get into it again.

Maria - the Thomas looks lovely.

Mags - you're so nearly there on Tenby. It's been a big project but you can really see the progress. Hope you start to feel a bit better soon.

Sazdaz - welcome to the Cafe. The only letter patterns I know to are either for woman, flower fairy type things or small letters to make up names. Sorry I can't helo with this one.

Hi ladies (and gents?), just wanted a bit of advice. I'm only a novice at this cross stitch lark but I have just completed a small humphrey's corner picture and I'm partway through another much bigger one with rabbits on. they're for my baby's nursery . My question is, what do i do with them when I finish them? do i need to wash them and if so how is best to do it? And how do I go about framing them or is it easiest to pay a shop or something to do it for me?

Thanks x

I always put my stuff in the wash when I am finished - but that's because it always has cat foot prints on it.

If its not dirty, just iron it, and roll it up around a long loo roll

As for framing, there are tutorials on line to have a go with. Some professional framers will not do fabric, so ring up for a quote
