Came across these earlier and thought of some of the ladies in the Cafe - would look rather well on the wall of a craft/stitching room.

Will NOT be held responsible for anyone adding to stashes.

nice but a bit pricey for quite small and simple designs. I'm pretty sure there is a free chart for sewing machines on Pinterest, I'm not tempted !

LOVE that HAED caroline - nope not tempted, not tempted as the size of HAED's scares me.

Chicky, cute finished bugs Were they a magazine design or a chart/kit design?

They were from Vee and Co. the full design is called "CUTE AS CAN BUG" (pink) or "CUTE AS CAN BEE" (blue).

The ones on her site are made into birth samplers but due to size restraint on the sandy hook squares I have just stitched the bug/ bee bit.

PDF's are $5 (about £3.20), hard copies are $6.75 (I don't know if this includes postage). You can pay by paypal and Virginia who runs it is lovely.

BEG, cute little cover kit. It looks great in that aperture, now why can't every cover kit fit as nicely? All the ones I do the stitching is either too big or the aperture too small Thanks for the link, I like to buttons one but the colours don't suit and I don't have a craft room :rotfl:

Caroline, congrats to you RAK its a lovely design. I have yet to complete/start a HEAD design I have this one in my stash, some of you may remember me purchasing it. I must do it once I have finished these too pieces!

Many thanks for thw link Chicky :T BUT, how cute is the Christmas Cardinal and Mittens. I may just have found my christmas card design... So much for designing one myself :rotfl:

No stitching done since update but I will do some this evening. I am blaming Flat Eric becasue she pointed out the Crafty Creatives boxes and I recieved my first box this week so I have been playing all day nearly... Opps!

Have a great weekend all, happy stitching :beer:
