hi everyone havent posted on here in a while too embarrassed, you all seem to be getting on well but my penguin project is going really slow .just dont seemed to find enough time to do it.

after watching the weather forecast for friday im thinking if im snowed in will be a great opportunity to do some stitching

need to have a good catch up of the thread will pop back later

Could- no need to be embarrassed everyone moves at there own pace. I love your idea of being snowed in and spending the whole day stitching sounds like my idea of heaven

morning all

louise that is seriously stunning

couldsave, welcome back dont ever be too embarrassed to post join in when you can. none of us bite.

a stitching snow day sounds perfet to me as well but weve got freezing fog today

took trotters to boys martial arts club last night got all the back stitch done on 'mum' pig.

DS1 felt much better last night and said sorry for leaving the bathroom/landing in such a mess so all is forgiven

Stitcher

chickywiggle - the thread order was with across town stitching. She has put on her facebook that she has low stocks of thread and waiting for more. I only read this this weekend, no e-mails telling me this! I'm guessing its this time of year being after Christmas...

couldsavemore - I'm slow too. It would be lovely if everyone could be snowed in safely with enough supplies and heating on friday wouldn't it!! I like the idea of having a whole day to stitch.

louise - that is a beautiful design! I can't imagine how long that would take to stitch it though...imagine how proud people are who do it and look at the finished result:j

I'm hoping to have some time this evening to do some stitching!

Stitcher, I would email her Louise who owns ats is Lovley you never know they may have got lost in the post, she normally sends whatever she has and then the others when she gets them in stock, so might be worth a quick email to check

Hi ladies.

Soulie. Sorry to hear things aren't good at the moment. Sending best wishes that they continue to improve xxx


Chicky. Nice update of DOH.

Ailsb. Nice Bug progress.

am. Well done on your win!

craftycrafty. Welcome! Look forward to seeing pics of your work.

TMIF. Nice update, look forward to seeing it progress once you get started on the colours.

FOS. Nice progress.

Mrsmp. Look forward to seeing the trotters once the backstitch is done.

Louise. Euphoria is stunning! Treat yourself, you know it wouldn't take long

Couldsavemore. I agree with Maria, don't be embarrassed. I usually stitch everyday but it's at such a leisurely pace you would think I only get to do an hour a week! :rotfl:
Hubby has watched me stitch and says I'm too fussy/pernickety. If a stitch doesn't lay nicely, I will unpick and re-stitch until it does

NMM. Nice progress.

Mrs mp- Love the Trotters - they are so cute.
The name made me think of Only Fools and Horses :rotfl:

Morning to all. Finally finished my Sweet Dreams bear for DD and decided lettering looked oK so left it as it was.

Sorted out some mags last night so have some charts from recent ones going spare if anyone wants them. I think they are mainly cross stitcher -

deer phone case, scandi cushion, patchwork cushion, sewing motifs, Belle & Boo, vegetables(!), squirrel tea cosy, leaves cushion, neon cards

Regards

Have also subscribed to Mabel Figworthy's Flights of Fancy. Have the fabric but waiting for threads to arrive.

Lovely card - another design which is different to the others stitched by the group

I was intrigued by the Mabel Figworthy SAL and signed up yesterday and just downloaded the January installment. Hope to be able to play with my thread stash on Sunday and choose what to use. Am considering the bell pull option (all 12 stitched in a column). What fabric and thread are you using?
