    Hi Girls (and boys if any),

    Done another two stitches for my wee book courtesy of the twisted band sampler teaching me them.

    Scallop Stitch

    Ray Stitch

    I love the effect they gave to the twisted band sampler - wee reminder

    109_1312_zpsbeff785f.jpg

    The scallop stitch is out the outer edges and the ray stitches are in the middle where they meet.

    I have also been plodding on with the learning sampler and thought I gone wrong, so took a photo, put it up in the learning sampler facebook page and the designer got back in touch within an hour with a reply and a picture of her part - and was very reassuring - hooray for her!

    Here is the said part

    109_1319_zpsda6869df.jpg

    It contains algerian eyes, double herringbone and lattice stitch. Will do these for my wee book once I have finished the band.

    Some lovely pictures of the cards and wee bags that have been done.

    Was thinking of Soulie this week - she popped up in my facebook page for some reason - I wonder what she would of thought of it all - she was a lovely lass.

    Keep well everyone

    Morning All :hello:
    Just caught up as haven't been on over the weekend, took advantage of the sun and been very busy.
    Florenceem you are a card making machine!!!!
    Barginfinder welcome to the group!!

    Not much crafting has been going on at this end, so not much progress down the list :eek: although I did another scarf last night which will be for my mum's christmas present. I only have one more to do + a few of the headbands and that is all the Christmas knits done. I then am going to make some to sell as I have had some friends asking :)

    Hopefully one I have done the last Christmas gift scarf, possibly tonight I will start on the sewing crafts. Will post picture's to Flickr.
    Christmas is the most magical time of the year :santa2:
