Anyone Into Cross Stitching?

Just to let you know I found out what magazine it is - it is a cross stitcher one (not cross stitch collection) issue number 72 from august 1998.

Thanks everyone who helped - I have put a bid on ebay for a copy and hopefully will win it.

I am itching to start stitching again now.

Glad you found it :T. It was one of the ones I was missing & although I checked the later months for back issues, the picture of the sampler isn't on the front cover, so I wouldn't have known. Make a note of the issue because if you don't win it on Ebay, there's always charity shops, or the cross stitching forums where you'll probably find it again. Make sure you show us a pic when it's done.

Hi Maria,

There is some 14 count aida on Ebay for sale, and if you do a search on yahoo, there are lots of websites which sell it.

I picked up some aida and threads at a car boot sale yesterday, so might be worth looking at those if you have any locally

Hi all,

I'm loving this thread and the pictures of everyone's work. It's a great motivation for me to carry on with The Holiday Train.

I've ordered my next project - http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/db.cgi?db=zoom&do=search_results&Prod_Code=10665&ww=1 This will be my first attempt at stitching on a coloured aida. :eek:

Once it's finished and framed, it will be hung behind our tropical fish tank!

I just done a very quick google search and lots of sites came up selling aida band.

This is the first page of my google search for 14 count aida band....

I buy supplies from Johnson Crafts - never had any problems. Good quality stuff and quick delivery.

Jinty and Harley,

Don't worry, I will keep you updated on my progress and my posts will no doubt include lots of blanked out words!

I'm itching to start it when it arrives, however I need to finish my other UFO's first!
