Hi all, havnt been on this thread before, I used to do cross stitching before I had children, not done any for 9 years +, would love to get back into it. I have my brother in laws wedding coming up in July next year and would to them a wedding sampler of the ME TO YOU bears which they love. Could any of you lovely people suggest any good places to get it from wouldnt have a clue where to start now, all the shops I used to use have disappeared. many thanks.

I second Sew & So. Fab company! :T Tatty Teddy designs are not easy to stitch though. Very fiddly, so give yourself lots of time.

Oh there are loads of them about, I have had a browse and the cheapest ones seem to be on ebay (Sew and sew are a great company, but they don't appear to have the wedding ones on their site unfortunately)

Few different styles as well, did you have a particular design in mind?

I found TT wedding ones on Sew & So. http://www.sewandso.co.uk/ran1681-0.html
I also use http://www.stitcher.co.uk
Ebay might well be cheaper, though. I stitched one for my friend's wedding from a free Tatty Teddy chart.



But if you haven't stitched in a while and don't have the threads, a kit will probably be easier and cheaper anyway.

They were under Tatty Teddy. I spotted a tiny picture on the home page and clicked on that, but they're also under Anchor, then Tatty Teddy.

Jintyb-Oh no! Glad to hear you're feeling better. I thought you'd been quiet!

I've got my cross stitch meet today, so I need to sort out what I'm taking to that. I think the Bras is a bit big to stitch there, so I need something smaller. Then tonight London Zoo is having a Zoo night, so DH & I are going to that. Should be fun-as long as the rain holds off!
