All those finished coasters are fantastic! Well done everyone!
Now I want to do some too but I've got too many other projects on the go. (donotgooglecoasters. donotgooglecoasters. donotgooglecoasters)

Re: Mabel's other stitching
Hi Mabel, If you're looking for pendants to hold cross-stitch, have you seen these? https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Kailea?ref=l2-shopheader-name Each setting has 3 pieces - the frame, a domed insert to wrap the stitching around and a backing plate. It can be a bit of a squeeze depending on the thickne...

Re: Flo's First SAL - Starry Night with Tardis UPDATE pg4
So it's been an awfully long time since I updated this thread! Since I last posted I have completed 2 whole pages. :) https://c1.staticflickr.com/3/2888/33048518363_fe84f7a48a.jpg I have done about a third of the next page too but I've not taken a photo of that yet. It's amazing how you don't really...

Re: Roland's Stitching - Update Apr 2-StarryNight with TARDI
You've reminded me that I must update my thread on this pattern! :) It's interesting to see how other people attack the same pattern. I started in the middle and then I've gone all down the right hand side and then I'm working back along the bottom to the left hand side. So I've done the corner that...

Re: Been gone SOO long!
Tue Mar 28, Hi Ajay. Yes it is a public register. Though they do charge a fee for providing the information. There are currently 2 registers - the old Sasine register which is 400 years old this year and is based on written descriptions of the property and the newer Land register which is map based...

Re: Been gone SOO long!
Hi All, Thanks for the warm welcome back and all the compliments. :) I really think the stitching is what kept me sane these last few years. @Serinde it only costs £60 to change the record on the land registry. ;) The great thing about Registers of Scotland is it's part of the Civil Service and the...

Re: Everything You Know About Fractionals
Yes you are "supposed" to do a 3/4 stitch and a 1/4 stitch and you are "supposed" to figure out which is the foreground and which is the background but I find that all too complicated. I just do two 3/4 stitches. You end up with 2 bars going across the stitch but it saves worryin...

Amazing artwork made from buttons!
Hi Everyone, I thought I'd share this lady's work. She uses objects she finds - buttons, lego, beads, etc. - to re-create some famous paintings! I think Mabel will like the first one in particular. http://www.demilked.com/plastic-classics-found-objects-famous-portraits-jane-perkins It's pretty amazi...

Albert sounds like he was an awesome cat! You should write a book like Chris Pascoe did about his cat called Birmingham. ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Cat-Called-Birmingham-Chris-Pascoe/dp/0340836075 ).

Flo's 2014 wedding samplers
So I'm attending 2 weddings this year and I've been commissioned to do another for a friend of a friend so I thought I'd start a thread. The first one is for my cousin who's getting married on the 31st May and who was one of my bridesmaids 8 years ago. She told me that her bridesmaids are going to b...

Re: sorry I've not been around again - an update on life stu
Sorry to hear that your stepdad is so horrible. Glad you're a bit closer to a diagnosis and therefore some income. I've also been looking at stuff I can do from home as I'm back at university doing a masters degree (at the age of 36!). I found a site saying that you can get some money from doing sur...
