Love this Well done on your first finish of 2013


I am still working on my version of Let's Sew (the same pattern that Maria has completed but I'm using DMC Color Variations and hand dyed fabric so it will look at bit different).

I've also updated my project list as I have been asked to stitch a wedding ring pillow (needed for July so should be OK). I will probably start this once I have finished Let's Sew.

I've also planning on doing Let's sew using variations thread and prob hand dyed fabric too - Maria is kindly sending me her chart so hope to make a start soon. I am looking forward to seeing how our ones differ..It is a lovely design!

Re: Ring pillow. have you considered a ring biscornu. I plan on doing one for October and saw some lovely patterns online. If interested let me know and i'll find the link.

To everyone else, Welcome! and love the updates, especially the Owl doorstop, I have a thing for Owls at present

Hi can I please join been following the thread but was unable to post for some reason until today. I am always doing something crafty but I am the worst person for getting bored half way through and chopping to something new and then il just keep doing that. I know for a fact I have well over 13 unfinished projects on the go and some new ones I want to start. I havent got a full list yet as that would mean looking in the craft cupboard and once I go in there I might not come out for some time (plus I will find something else to start :whistle: )

1) Baby afghan cross stitch - March
2) Special arty/crafty thing for mum's 50th??? - March
3) Fabric advent calendar
4) Christmas cards
5) UFO - Snow leopard cross stitch
6) UFO - peekaboo zodiacs cross stitch
7) UFO - 3rd childs scrapbook
8) 4th childs scrapbook
9)

having finished my first project ,a blanket for dd, i have now started a crochet bag. im doing it in blue and white stripes ive nearly finished the bottom.

I find it easy to crochet whilst watching tv for an hour or two in the evening and its amazing how quickly it grows.

am planning on doing some knitting next have seen a couple of scarves that i want to do and a knitted top.

the sewing machine is coming out tonight as well my dd wants to learn how to use it so i will leave it out for a while as i have a couple of small projects that i want to do .

I would love to see the link for the biscornu as I really like stitching these. I will probably stick to the design the bride to be has chosen for the ring pillow though until she has finalised her colour scheme I can't make a start - have been promised the details by the beginning of March so plenty of time.

My version of Let's Sew won't look that different to Maria's as the variations thread is blue. Have decided it would look effective in almost any colour and am really enjoying stitching it although it isn't making very fast progress as my stitching time is very limited at the moment

Great list with lots of variety - I can see where Maria gets her crafting gene from

Is this the flapper in lilac design you are planning to stitch?

I love all the designs in this range and the Charleston lady in the same range has been on my wish list ever since my DS bought me a beautiful mother's day card with the same design.
