    Im just wondering if we have a cross stitching thread like they have on here for the knitting one?

    Im into cross stitching and thought we could do a cross stitching thread where we can come for help, support and to show people what we have done?

    Whats everyone think?

    just been browsing, and found this thread. i used to do cross stitch ALL the time about 10 years ago, but now i never seem to have the time to do any. i must admit to having about 40 un-opened kits in the loft :o but seeing those photos of yours mrs Mc is inspiring me to want to go and dig some out !! where did you get that last one? the one of the lady with all the flowing hair holding a crystal ball? its absolutely gorgeous!! that'll look stunning when its done :D how do you find the time to do them, cos i know how busy you are with your a-pot-ment at the mo, and you're always baking as well...i really envy you, you always sound like a superwoman :D

    hopefully i can find some motivation, and get myself in the loft to hunt my kits out ;)
