Agreed they look even better in the 9” hoops. I’m tempted  PL Dublin is framed in a 10” as I think you’re right satsuma street suggests that size. I might frame PL London in a 9” though, they do look great with less space around. Well done Nmm and Coxy.

Charly, manual labour ouch, with small card size designs i just hold and roll the excess fabric, don't think R&R do small frames.

Coxy, i'm glad they fit, they look so much better with less material. I love the little ribbon hanging loops, you have mounted them brilliantly, well done.

My latest Seascape update not much done since last week. I'm really struggling with this one 18ct aida, tiny needles, no light, and i didn't choose it, it was a gift so i feel obliged to complete it.

Cozy, those are stunning. I might even be tempted to start one of them, love the colours.

Had a mammoth stitch day on sat as I woke at 4am with sinus issues so got a whole load done before anyone else was up. Probably another week or so to go on this one, I am loving it, but it hasn't been without its issues. I am actually further on than this picture shows, the middle bit is complete now too. It's called under the mistletoe by Carolyn manning.

Another quick progress update. So close to finishing, wil need to get another skein of one of the greens though I think. Hoping to have it done over the weekend.

DaL that is a stunning design and beautifully stitched. Great TaDa.
Nmm seascape is looking lovely but I know what you mean about motivation if isn’t a kit you’ve chosen. When I can feel my fingers with enough delicacy to hold a needle, I’m stitching welcome. My main beef is that’s it’s only three colours, one of which is white which I NEVER enjoy stitching with! To me my white stitches always look messy. I’ve ordered some beeswax to see if it makes a difference.
I have a design for the card exchange just need a couple of colours. I really want to start something new
