Flowers of Scotland I never even thought about charting it to stitch, off I go to give it a go, also I was looking at layer cakes last night do they come In plain fabrics?

Most of them are patterned but some plains are available. I have bought from this seller = very good service and very helpful. I have emailed her directly to enquire about whether she has items in stock even if they are not listed. The patterned ranges are only available for short periods but I expect the plains are always available so she would be able to order for you.

Now all we need is for someone to volunteer to chart this for us all to stitch

Lizzie Kate has a couple of charts with similar sentiments

and
http://lizziekate.com/lizzie-S88-StitchingForever.html
and

But I love this new one even more - thanks Maria

Why not email Lizzie Kate & suggest it?

Also like this saying.... Have you ever considered why STRESSED is DESSERTS backwards!

I believe that is in my Joan Elliott book (or desserts is stressed backwards possibly)

I do like Maria's one tho.

Mrs F - if you join out FLIKR group (how 2 is on the first page) then one of us can always post the pics here on your behalf until you can.
It's something like 10 posts I think.

Thanks for the link BEG have used tis site before - but had forgotten about it. Hvae charted the wording and think it may look good inthe middle of a patchwork (that's something else I dabble in) cushion on my carft room - it's really the spare bedroom that I've taken over!!

Think I may take this away with me as it's not too complicated or bulky. Will probably stitch in variable thread as it will be quick then as well. Holiday project here I come.

Happy to share my charted Housework before sewing design - have to credit stitchpoint.com for the top one and have used the Good Marriage type (not exactly) type set for the bottom one. Hope this is okay. If anyone want to use it go ahead.
