tricksie - please can you post a pic of starry night? I've not been to Sandown - is it indoors lol?

Coxy

I will take a photo tonight and post it in our Flikr group.

And yes, it is indoors! As I say, it's not huge but relatively cheap, and easy to travel to. Whereabouts do you live?

I love these Satsuma Street designs. A lady on Facebook is doing them on an Afghan, starting with London and Paris. Would love to do them but nowhere at home to display them

If they do Sydney as DD lives there.
TT has a lot of back stitch,so much the kit comes with a full skein of grey
Using just one strand.the mind boggles at how much there is to do!

Hi again everyone,

beg - the charts were a download and I think my printer toner was on its last legs as some of the colours are a real surprise!

Tricksie - glad it's indoors lol! I'm in Orpington. Haven't been to Sandown and must try to complete some of my stash before buying more!

Mrs ceejay - yes there is one for Sydney. Here it is:

I also have London, Paris, Italy, Amsterdam, Tokyo, and San Francisco to do. I'm a bit geeky in that if I know it's a set I have to have them all

Thanks for finding it,they are really colourful,but like b.e.g my printer is so temperamental,do they sell them already printed?
Like you I think they would look great grouped together.

Coxy11

Mrs ceejay - the lady sells them from her Etsy shop as downloads (she is based in LA). I will PM you

Coxy11, loving the bright colours in your picture looks lovely.

I have managed to upload my picture onto my flickr page but i'm struggling with sharing the link, when the photo does appear in the post it's tiny. Can anyone help please? Sorry to be a pain!!

Heres the picture I can't work out how to get the actual decent size picture in my post!!

I really think this is slightly beyond my current ability but my Mum'll love it when its done and my aim is to get it ready for Xmas 2015 so not un realistic time frames here??!! I'm enjoying it but the amount of different small patches of colour is a bit of a pain. I think i'm going to start another one with bright colours along side it to keep my interest up.

Lovely start Lottie. :T Clicking on the link I can see it really well. I struggle with Flickr as I dont use it often enough so you are not alone.

Love your start on NY and have admired these charts on Etsy for a while but I am trying to stitch from stash not add to it I think Chicago is on the way in the series so you need to finish NY soon :rotfl:

I also tend to get caught by the series bug. Blackbird Designs brought out a series of 6 designs based on Beatles songs last year though they didn't release them all at first due to copyright issues. I have 4 of them and am really tempted to get the other 2 but I shouldn't until I have stitched the first 4 should I :money:
