Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi serinde Cant thank you enough for that website. I cant beleive you found one. Every time i was searching online it was coming up as unknown or taking me to USA. I tried emailing individual stores and most had never even heard of the thread! Those who had, didnt stock it and didnt know anyone else...

Hi people, sorry Ive not been around for ages - did you all miss me!?!?!?! :wink: I have been busy with my study, and also havent been very well lately, that combined with keeping up with normal life - not to mention stitching, has left me no spare time to log online at all. Theres loads of reading ...

hello and welcome from me also.

I wonder when my big one will hatch???

I think all your big ones look really cute!

Thanks Rose, I have an A4 sized board and some magnets I will try that. Im getting frustrated at the moment, I seem to be either too hot or too tired to stitch at the moment, and I only have a couple of weeks until my friends wedding. Im not even half way thrrough yet, and Ive been stitching it for ...

I do hope your cat returns safely very soon, it is such a worry when they dissappear. I myself have been far to hot and bothered to do much of anything! I have a fan indoors to try and cool down, but the problem is it blows all my stitching and charts all over th place and makes stitching too hard t...

Thankyou, yes I get it now

Ive just found this conversion chart, it convert the dmc and anchor, but also has a conversion to and from venus threads. Personally Ive never heard of or used venus, but thought maybe it might help out someone here.

wow, what a performance!

thats hard luck forgetting the chart, I have done the same thing myself - frustrating!

Im glad you all got there ok, and I hope the dogs didnt mind the inconvenience for those few days given the wide open space they will now have.

I sympathsize with you..... but the good news is that I now only ever buy online as Ive found it so much cheaper than going to stores. Of course I am in the UK, but you can always enquire on postage, you never know it may work out cost effective. I buy alot of canvas and speciality threads, beads an...

Rose do not feel bad, I too was another one wondering and feeling too stupid to ask.... I kindca figured it must be a'person', but guessed it must be initials or something.... I sussed out the unfinished projects code, but have to confess there have been a few others in the past that have gone over ...

Im still a little confused as to who gets to keep whats stitched on the round robin....

Yes, take care, and i hope things go well for you and that you find a place to live very very soon!

Best wishes to you all,

Sue

I have no idea what was wrong the other day, but today I can see the hatchlings.... Im so happy about that.

I think I may try and get a new one for this month now....

Im a little confused about these SAL things.... I understand that everyone does some stitching and it gets passes on etc.... but who gets to keep the finished piece??? Ive not ever been involved in anything like this, in fact the only thing Ive ever heard of before is a charity one where everyone st...
