Morning all I've been reading but not really posting, love all the pictures, That have been posted, happy birthday / anniversary to those I have missed.
Thank you Mrs M for the tokens they arrived this morning x

Apologies for all the pictures in advance, I haven't posted any finished pictures for weeks and weeks!

All of these patterns are either from cross stitcher or cross stitcher free gifts. As some of you know, I Mark the pages of the charts in the magazines that I want to do and I'm working my way through some of the smaller designs. Until I can afford to buy the even weave for the last Bella and Boo design. It's quite nice to finish one thing a night lol

pennib - love the sampler :T

Good luck to anyone taking part in the Race for Life - very worthwhile charity. Maisie M - I've done it and there is no way I could be classed as a runner. A friend I was doing it with has had a hip replacement so we had to keep the pace down for her (well that was our excuse anyway ). Why not give it a go when you feel up to it and then the following year you could always try and improve on your time. I can assure you there are all sorts of shapes and sizes taking part - so please don't let that put you off. . We had a really great time and raised lots of money at the same time :j.

MMP, your cushion looks great, the back looks fine without the fastening. Titanic looks amazing, I can't imagine stitching on that dark blue fabric.

JCS, cute kittens

Chicky :rotfl: That is a great sentiment but I agree the motif/design is wrong. If I were to attempt that it would have to be changed plus a nice border added. I wonder why the designed choose plants etc :think:

Louise, happy belated birthday :j Glad you had a sucessful time at the fundraiser!

Welcome AllThatGlitters :wave:

nmm, cute bear, I can't believe how many colour changes are on its body. Could you see that many changes on the original design?

Winnie, I hope yesterday went as well as it could, look after yourselves.

Belated anniversary's to shelly and tricksie I hope you both had great day's :T

pennib, lovely little sampler, its always the easy ones that cause trouble :rotfl:

sweetcarer you are doing well with the sandyhook designs. When do they all need completing by?

maria, thanks for all the pictures, you have certainly been working hard I adore that birth sampler and the cute yellow birds. What are you working on/moving onto now?


This is the heart in half stitch, I really like it! But it will be done in full stitch mainly because if you look closely the left is a lot duller than the right Thats because the left was done with a stash skien and the other a new, even though they are stored in a dark box it has still changed a little. Going to stitch a line in that colour and a line with a darker shade over the top and see which I prefer



Have a great Monday all :j

There are 6 different colours, luckily i'm using up left over threads from my old kits which had plenty of brown shades Its slow going as stitching is really hurting my finger :mad: I may have to learn to stitch left handed The baby is due this month so I have to get it done.
