  • Hello everyone! Hope you dont mind me joining! Question about frames if thats ok. I dont normally bother with a frame but have decided to try one for my next piece which is quite large. The fabric measures 15 x 12, my question is - do I need to buy a 15 x 12 frame or a smaller one so the fabric fits round? Thanks!

    Hello and welcome!

    I would choose a frame more on the finished size of the design rather than the material size. Do you have a picture or link to the design so we can have a look?

    Belated birthday wishes Louise _party_. Well done with the fundraiser. :T

    Welcome the Cafe AllThatGlitters :hello:. Sorry I can't help with frames I'm afraid.

    Got absolutely soaked this morning so when I got back home and dried out, did what I had to do then decided to reward myself with some stitching time. Sadly stitching time has now come to an end and it's time to get ready and go back out in all that wet :eek:

    Will try to post update of Lets Do Wine over the weekend.

    Sorry I've not been in for a while - been tres busy with work.

    I got my Race for Life pack today - which reminded me that I haven't got any sponsorship yet.

    I don't care if you sponsor me, or someone else - but if you have some spare cash, please donate. Cancer needs to be beaten. Quickly

    (am I allowed to put my JustGiving link up in case someone doesn't have another way of donating.. I wasn't sure so I thought I'd check. Thanks, H x)

    in candy crush news, stuck on level 33 ! like i said the other day, if only I spent as much time stitching as I have done playing candy crush recently!
    My sister got me playing that too :mad: I was stuck on level 33 for ages too, I only managed it as I did the bubble witch saga offer with free lollipops, lol. I can add you to my facebook and send lives when I login, which is too often :rotfl:

    Fully caught up, you lot have been super busy putting me to shame, I love all the updates and congrats on the free HAED chart, how do you create a wishlist? I always love a freebie :D

    Good luck with RFL, a great cause you are helping. A facebook friend of mine is doing it and dedicating her race number to me, and we have already sponsored her otherwise I would have sponsored you, but really, good luck with it, if it wasn't for people like you then they wouldn't get half as much money as they do!
