Anyone Into Cross Stitching?

MRSMCAWBER

Morning all

Have just caught up with the thread, have been back in the UK for 3 weeks and missed so much on my usual threads...just about back upto speed again now :T

Some lovely x stitches been posted since i went away ..well done folks.

I have decided to x stitch some things to give to the hospice that looked after my sister at home (she only needed them for 10 days but they did a sterling job) ... I know they have fetes etc, so im hoping to make loads of stuff for them to sell to raise funds -I have thought of the following... but im hoping you guys might think of things i haven't I have loads of threads and beads and quite a bit of fabric ...so let me have your ideas

1. lots of cards... even though i don't enjoy them that much, I want to make loads to take back to the Uk next time i go. im going to sew them and then put them in the cards when i go back -they will only get battered in transit otherwise
2. Small cushions that you hang up with lavender etc in -going to get mum to dry me loads of her lavender as she has masses of the stuff;)
3. book marks

Then im planning on doing a full sized piccie so they can either hang it in the hospice or raffle it off... just have to decide which one of my many kits to do
Right i will get off and get on with some sewing..i still have mums lady to finish for xmas :eek:
have a good day everyone

Hi shelly, it's not a freebie chart unfortunately and I don't have a scanner but if you PM me your address I'll photocopy it and send to you

I would love this design too!!! I would be willing to send an SAE. Or if Shelly could scan it? Please?

Hi Everyone

Newbie here who is gutted. I have just gone to continue a cross stitch i started (DMC Wild Ones Alphabet from The Ultimate collection) and i have the main chart but have lost the key which links the symbols to thread numbers :mad: I cant believe it! does anyone know if i can get it from anywhere? I have gone to DMC website and sent an email but i am impatient hehe

Thanks

I am looking for any source of Polly Carbonari cross stitch charts. I have done the "a real princess always washes behind her ears" . These charts are so cute, but I haven't been able to find any more. Can any one help me source them , thank you xx :j

Hi all!

Collected my cross stitch yesterday and finished it this afternoon!! I totally loved doing it it was great! I'm thinking of getting a couple more to do for christmas pressies. Ideally I would like a meerkat one for my mum and some big cats for my sister. Saw a gorgeous one on ebay of big cats that I'm sure someone posted a link too but it has beads and I'm not so sure about it.

This is my finished cross stitch!!

Well, I have been bitten by the cross stitch bug again! I am bidding on a couple of kits on ebay - fingers crossed. I am looking for something that I can stitch for my Mum too, can't find anything suitable yet though!

gillsmills - I found this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Country-Wisdom-Polly-Carbonari/dp/0882902954 can't find much else though!

or these items on ebay:
I presume these are from the same range; 370069253689 (a real princess always says her prayers),
370069254216 ( a real princess doesn't need a crown).
Hope they are ok
