I've managed to put my UFO of big cats onto the Flikr group, would be great if someone could put the link on here for me, as due to low posts cant link it. Thanks.

I've started a new project this week, its the snowman banner from stoneycreek, i think someone else did it on here. My goal is to finish for this Christmas, fingers crossed.

Is the free gift a Margeret Sherry calendar? If so, I'd love it. I was gonna see if WH Smiths had the mag in the shops tomorrow so I could see if it was worth buying the mag to get the free gift.

No trouble Ruth_honey, I'll PM you!

Thanks Maria, I'll have to go and hunt up a copy. I saw your and FOS's reviews and thought 'Hmmm Christmas patterns, yay!' It's only just clicked that they were reviews of Cross Stitcher :rotfl:

Oops sorry Maria, I saw your name in the post and thought it was your review.

I did see your one for WOXS, it's always interesting to see which designs people like :j

Looking back I see it was in fact Brednall and flowerofscotland who reviewed Cross Stitcher, that I'm now going to go and buy, thanks girls!

Thank you so much! I've emailed my address to you.

Leemina-That big cat design looks AMAZING! I've admired that chart for ages. On the black background it looks so dramatic.

Good morning Cross Stitchers

JCS Finishing Post is looking really good and will look stunning when finished. Is it for you or a gift?

nmm that fur is looking very realistic

chicky you are so right - the IF in gold and green is perfect

beg "Misery loves company" does seem to be true - so often bad things seem to happen one after the other. Hope you can stay strong. I have found that stitching has helped me through some very dark days and I hope it can help you as well

leemina Well done on finishing your UFO especially when it was a challenging stitch (black aida :eek:) Now I've seen it thanks to Magscat I see that it is one I stitched a while ago and is hanging on my wall. It looks very effective though I was glad to have finished it and am not sure my eyes will cope with black fabric now

rubyrara Sorry I have never used waste canvas. Willow Fabrics sell it but I don't know if they are the cheapest

Louise Love your logic and totally agree with it

WOCS Loved reading the reviews - thanks for doing this. I like the calendar though I won't use it before January (would have to take down one already in use). The only designs in the magazine that I really like are the assortment of robins which I think are great. I like the stocking but it's a lot of work. I like the look of the Michael Powell design next month. He had a stand at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham and I enjoyed looking at the stitched models though I didn't buy anything.

Flateric Bad news about your subs copy. Loved the link to the MS chart collection - my stash is obviously worth more than I thought
