    Welcome Mrs H, lovely to see another new member :) My first cross stitch was a country companions kit, they are so cute, I look forward to your update photos.


    Thankyou nmm!

    This one has been picked up and put down so many times over the last 5 years :o I have a few pattern books for the Country companions but wouldn't know what to do with the finished articles:cool:

    Must work out how to add photos!

    Hi guys

    Hope you don't mind me coming back to the group :o

    I've done very little stitching this year but want to get back into it next year. I'm also hoping it'll stop me spending too much time on the Internet and eating to much rubbish on an evening.

    I have one goal at the minute and that's to finish a stitch for a 70th birthday which I think is in September.

    I took a current pic of the WIP and saved it to Flickr but it won't let me grab the link on my iPad so I've added it to the Flickr group if you want to see it?

    Looking forwards to the updates x
  • Welcome back,
    I haven't been able to post photos here since going onto an iPad.

  • Lovely update pic nmm :T

    Great to see you back in the Cafe pm. :wave:

    Little bit more cushion stitched today but have just put it away as I fear I may have dropped a clanger but am feeling a bit tired for checking it over. Hope it won't take too much sorting.

    Welcome back pm2326. I think we all want to spend less and stitch more in 2016. Maybe that should be our group motto ?

    I have the same issue with photos now I mainly use an iPad

    Hello all - Happy New Year and all that jazz ��

    I've been making progress on my monochrome monstrosity (otherwise known as Escher's Relativity, a HAED design). I've completed 15 pages now. Only another 20 to go....��

    Between times, I've made two kids' height charts for my new cousins and a couple of other small bits. Back to the black and white beastie now though!
