    Just popping in very quickly. Some of you have asked about my contact with dmc re the magic aida. I was going to call but when I looked at the finished oiece I can longer see the lines - YAY. I was so annoyed when the lines didn't wash out that I threw it jn the conservatory. It looks as if the sun has faded the lines. Just need to try to wash it again now and get the creases out. Still not happy but not going to stress myself over it.

    Off to my first WI meeting tonight. Will, update you all tomorrow.

    Ailsb, so glad the line appear to have finally disappeared.

    had a lazy day doing not much more than stitching, put some flowers in the trug and done the base of a hanging basket as well as back stitching a cup and tea pot. hoping to have finished what i can in the next couple of days.

  • Lovely pictures Maria. I am finally finishing off page 3 out of 9 on the Wolf Xstitch I am doing for my youngest DD, sometimes I wish I hadn't started it but have taken some time out to do a couple of smaller xstitches so that I don't lose my mojo!

    I think I am a very slow stitcher as the three pages seem to have taken me ages!
