Anyone Into Cross Stitching?

shelly

Thank you both for the quick replies. Your recommendations will do me :money:
Just got to double check my USO kits (un started objects :rotfl:) to make sure they will fit the frame I have in mind and I'll get it ordered!

Also want to have a look on sewandso for a nice wedding card as our friends are getting married next year and I want to do something special as I know Ami will appreciate it.


Thanks again!

Please let me know if you find a nice wedding card - would like to do one for an October wedding - or a picture of HMS Warrior and cant really seem to find anything appropiate.
Suppose to be strimming garden but after all the rain its a little bit too damp so making goood use of my time browsing for m next project !

I have finally ordered the perfect size frame I wanted and also they had a nice kit I couldn't resist

Now just got to put finishing touches to Rubys' xmas present so I can be ready to start the new kit on the new frame straightaway!

I think I have given up on the idea already. Looked online today for quite awhile and saw nothing that I really liked.
I'll look in shops if I am passing one though so might get lucky.

I've noticed that Tescos now have Cross Stitcher magazine on subscription wth the clubcard deals. :T I emailed them asking them if they could get any stitching mags a few months ago, so I'm thrilled that they'd done this. Roll on next month when my vouchers come through and I can subscribe again....:D:D:D
And to anyone else who contacted Tescos about this-thanks to you, too!

Thanks for the recommendations that sewandso was a good place to buy from. You were spot on! I ordered the items late on Wednesday night and got them today.

I ordered an Elbesee frame and this kit http://www.sewandso.co.uk/cgi-bin/find/db.cgi?db=zoom&do=search_results&Prod_Code=60373&ww=1
Looking at the picture close up there's ALOT of half stitches! I can do them, just need to take my time.
This kit is purely for me so I am going to enjoy it

Thanks. I love the pastel colours and humming birds are just stunning birds.

That's a lovely design - I agree humming birds are gorgeous. There's a lovely one in one of my mags that is on the big list in my head of things I want to do!
