The "no frills, no gremlins (hopefully)" cross-stitch cafe

Mrs Ceejay, that elephant one sounds complicated but i'm sure it'll be worth it BD is actually a wolf and not a cat, its quite an easy pattern to follow as there are some big chunks of the same colour plus its all X's with no backstitch :j For photos I upload to photobucket then copy the direct link, then in the reply box click the yellow square with the mountain in it and paste the link.

Hi,hmm.
Now I know i'am going cross eyed!will try the link suggested.The elephants have more half and quarter stitches than in anything I've ever done.if I had known how many I would have had second thoughts!but I am pleased with how it's turning out.
Many thanks

JCS1, both your finishes have stitched up quickly, they look great

Mrs Ceejay, that elephant kit sounds even more complicated, I hate 1/2 and 1/4 stitches.

Evening ladies

Welcome to the Cafe scotty :hello:

shelly - loving santa and snowman.

fos - your 12 Days looks beautiful. Looking forward to next update. What are you making it into when finished?

nmm - woo hoo we can see eyes :j

mrs. ceejay - lookiing forward to seeing your elephants.

jcs1 and sweetcarer - great pics :T

No stitching for me tonight as I realised I must have been a bit of a dosy mare last night and made the pattern up as I was going along :(. Hubby said it looked ok but I think it would have annoyed me later if I didn't change it. Having to remember it also uses to different colours for backstitch (just to try and catch me out). Going to be a bit busy over the next few day but hopefully I will be finished 11th Day by the end of the week.

Take care everyone

nmmgreat progress on BD

mrsceejay I think there is a minimum number of posts you have to make before you can add photos and links. Your elephants design sounds very challenging but will look good

mrsmp. Welcome back. Hope you enjoyed your hols

sweetcarer. Already looking lovely. I love band samplers

jcs tulips look wonderful and you finished them really quickly. Is the map for you or a gift?

beg. I think I will probably make 12 days into a bell pull as shown on the pattern. Much cheaper than framing for something that will only be on display for 4/5 weeks of the year. What are you planning for your 12 days piece?
