These are great

If I had seen your post in time I would have voted for the Hisotrical Sampler designs. I like tatty teddy and I've stitched a couple of birth samplers including the one with the blanket and a wedding sampler but I didn't enjoy doing them. Too many shades of grey and then all that back stitchi:eek: only did them because they were specifically chosen by the recipients. One of my current WiPs is a HSC wedding design and I'm really enjoying it

Looking forward to the updates

For anyone else who loves the Ursula Michaels words designs she has released another 3 new ones Sisters fishing and farm. I like them but not tempted (phew) as wouldn't have a reason to stitch them

Though I did buy the wedding bells one which is why I visited the site. Just been invited to a wedding in the summer and think this will be ideal

I love the Princess kit. I wonder if they have a Prince version, my niece had a little boy before Christmas and she'd love a birthday pic. I made them for her and her siblings 20 odd years go and they still have them.

I haven't read the mag yet but just had a read of that article....I have to admit to being guilty of having a few of those signs!:o

I might Facebook them re. the hospital comment :rotfl: The Doctor did query why my husband couldn't just collect my things.....he obviously didn't understand.....but he had a look at it the following day and commented that I seemed a lot more relaxed


Eric's mum- loving the brightness of the poppy design


Mrsm- the tiger cub is adorable :T

I keep doing a double take whenever anyone mentions Emily, that's my real life first name, lol!

Currently trying to find something small-ish to work on that I can finish in a handful of days. I'm surprisingly looking for something pink, even though I strongly dislike the colour! No clue why. I'm blaming the leftover hormones from the pregnancy, even though it ended 4 weeks ago. I'm doing my best to only use free patterns, or something I can make from a completed picture at the moment. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm thinking a pink and turquoise little owl, but I don't know which one I want to do!
