HP, this one is a Ali design. She does chart/kit or a mix, I had the chart, fabric and 10 skeins for this design. Have a look at her places section as there are other London designs. My next London themed stitch will be Westminster, love the neutral colors in this design.

Thanks PAP, it really is a lovely picture, can't wait to see your finished piece.

I've been searching for a picture of Vegas to do too but so far no luck :-( Mind, you I probably have enough kits in my stash at the moment :rotfl:

If you have a picture (photo/internet) that you really want to stitch ask Ali to produce a chart for it. She can do charts and kits for any image. Thats how I got my blue Letting Go kit

Trying to pick it up tonight but I have just had a training day and oh the paper work :eek: Tons too read too

Just a flying visit, finished this 'S' earlier, only took a couple of hours to do. It's for my Aunt's birthday so I will be turning it in to a card, so I will post another pic when the card is done

That is on my to do list - I am trying to work on the moon goddess chart to make wee alterations to send on to Joan for her to check for me.

Made a start on my blue and white samplers - don't know how I can post updates as I have left it in my desk at work as I am doing it at work and I am not allowed a camera in my work. I don't want to keep bringing it home - maybe for weekends.

Hope all is well where ever you are

Both the moon goddess and father sun are charts Im trying to get hold of. I had ordered the bewitching cross stitch book of Ama$on which has both in but after several weeks they just got in touch saying there are problems with the stock so I had to cancel the order:( I am going to try and order it from somewhere else.

I am going to order the kreinkik thread and beads set from polstitches tomorrow ready for when I start her. But whilst on there I saw some other charts I have been trying to get hold of..........all too tempting:D

i finally opened a flickr account so hopefully i should be able to show my pictures now:cool:




just flying by Stitching Queen., on Flickr

This took me years to finish just because i was quite an inexperienced stitcher when I brought it and the metalics and fractionals put me off but completed it this year in a couple of weeks.


Alice in wonderland by Stitching Queen., on Flickr

This is the Alice in wonderland piece that is based on an origanl drawing. The characters where fun to stitch but the tablecloth was a bit of a problem.



Fans of the far east by Stitching Queen., on Flickr

This is my current WIp it is the set of three fans from Joan Elliots fans of the far east. I am really enjoying it and got nearly all the yellow on the middle fan finished today.

well I have only been gone a couple of days and there is loads to read and catch up on. All these lovely finished projects with great colours in them.
I have been off browsing the WWW which isnt good as If I had loads of money I would be bankrupt by now buying all the kits I love :rotfl:
I am still on the hunt for a black panther or something like that as I like stitching them and I would like to go to africa at some point in my life

my favourite piece

I am in love with this. Where did you get it from? I love fantasy, dragons and wizards charts.

I got my WOCS mag yesterday. There is not a lot in there this month for me, but I (along with others ) like the unicorn I might have to put that one to the side when I get the next mag.

I actually struck gold with that one and found it for £6 at a boot sale!!! Its called 'mythical dragon' by Janlynn anyway

Just made the mistake of looking online for stitchy bits and came across Polstitches website. I have seen it a few times and lots of tempting goodies on there but has anyone used them beofre, are they reliable and does anyone know where I can get Kreinik threads at a reasonable price?

Yes have bought and used Polstitches fabric - it's gorgeous. The original fabric is Zweigart and the effects of the hand dyeing is lovely. Have met the owner at a couple of craft shows as well - she is very pleasant. She has a close working relationship with Joan Elliott who often uses Polstitches fabric for her designs in magazines The fabric viewer on her website is a nice way to while away a few spare minutes.
