Can't believe I've managed to post a pic.

My update on Happy House, I've had to alter some of the colours as I didn't want to buy new thread but I think it looks ok.

ohhh that looks unique - what does the finished article look like?

I chose to do it as I like all the block colours.

Hiya Ladies,

Hope everyone is well.

Louise - Welcome back, lovely progress on your medieval lady

sweetcarer - That sampler looks lovely so far, can't wait to see the finished article

Chicky & Aneres - love your progress too!

Am just popping to post my progress on the blackwork cats;



And this is what I'm aiming for!



It's taking a while as the gold outline is very fiddly!

Hoping to get my 100 threads from Across town tomorrow, need to start on my nephews monster door sign, only 2 weeks till his birthday :eek:

Morning everyone.

With a bit of burning of the midnight oil I managed to finish my Millennium Sampler :j Just need to wash and iron it and then I can take a photo. Another UFO completed thanks to this group - you are all brilliant :T

Now I plan to carry on with Sophie's Stocking and start on Imagine - I've found a small piece of sparkly hand dyed Polstitches evenweave which will be ideal.

Dorastar - well done on getting some of your Welsh chapel completed. Michael Powell designs are delightful - so original

Flat Eric - the sewing box kit is very cute. You should be able to change the colours by looking at what is in the key - if there are 4 shades of blue you would need 4 shades of brown or pink or purple. I also thought this one is great fun

MrsMoneypenny - good progress on Fred the tortoise

augustsmummy - will be thinking of you later this week; hope all goes well

Louise - what a shame about your brother (and your wasted stitching). I know how you feel - I did a lovely wedding sampler for a cousin and set it into a wooden Framecraft tray. I couldn't help wondering what would happen to it when I heard that they had split up (I didn't have the check to ask for it back as I could have reused the tray )
Your medieval lady looks stunning. Who is the designer? What fabric are you going to use for Circe the Sorceress? The "bewitched" jobelan from Polstitches is stunning. I also like Calipso (mermaid) especially on the shaded evenweave

Mags cat - know what you mean about looking instead of using stash - I'm like that with fabric

Aneres - love Happy Happy House - very different and modern

Skoobie - loving the blackwork cat

I forgot to say yesterday. I would like to say a big thank you for all your comments on my progress of my Dragon. :j
