mrsmp You makes are really cute How organised to have your Mother's Day present sorted already

they are only sorted in my head:rotfl: ive done the cross stitch panel and the bridesmaid dress is in pieces on the washing line but thats as far has mums cushion has actually got.

need to wash and press tiger and get him sorted on a cushion or there is the danger it will go back in the cupboard as just a piece of finished stitching and stay there.

loving everyones beautiful photos

have been working on stitching a bunch of tulips from a kit in my stah over this last week.

Thanks flower - it's been hideous, massive bruise, all spectrum of colours from the calf right through to the toes It constantly hurts/pinches/aches grrr.......but worse of all, our new doggie had dental work done on Thursday and she's sufferred badly ever since, so that's been very draining at the mo. The dental vet says she shouldn't be experiencing pain and the vet we went to on Saturday to get her checked again, says she IS in pain arrggg!

Anyway I have bought some cheap supplies to tackle the next stage of seaglass wrap lol, fingers crossed I get to do it this week

I have amended my list of 14 in 2014.
I have stitched - Redwork on to a tea towel - another part of a Christmas present ready. I used a vintage kitchen image and stitched in black to match the tea towel. I bought the tea towel in Paperchase - during a sale of course.
I have done frayed edges on this one - I backed the old cotton sheet that I stitched on with some interfacing. I will do stitched edges on the next tea towel - what do you think is best?

its a nickname that those of us on the knit a square thread on here gave each other. we do knitting crochet and other woolly stuff for good causes.

florence i like that patch with the frayed edging as you have mentioned you are backing the piece it wont fray too far and lays nice and flat if you hemmed it it would look neat but there is a danger the hem could create a slightly thicker bulky edge to the piece especially on the corners. try hemming a panel of scrap fabric of a similar texture and see how thick the hem will be.

savvy get well and heasl quickly vibes for you and your ankle.

going to have 1/2 hour with my cross stitch then do some ironing - only because i want to iron the bridesmaid dress bits
