Thank you Mabel. Time to go shopping I think.

Greetings. My husband will soon have a problem & needs your assistance. It's my twin sisters birthday soon...I don't have birthdays any more. I'm quite happy stopping at 39!.....but will be buying ME a present anyway. I'm hoping to start a new Long Dog Sampler soon having already done The Stag H...

That should have been ... lovecrafts. Sorry.

Hello everyone. I heard today that Sew & So is now lovecrafts. AND today there is a BIG sale. AND by using the code sewANDso15 you get an even bigger discount. Thought you might like to know as so many were disappointed with it closing.

Thank you all for your help. Fabric bought, needle threaded ... and we're off!

Mable. Thank you so much. Doing over two so will now know how much fabric to get. Thank you so much. I confess to not having visited the forum for some time (ages) but have just spend some very enjoyable time catching up on everyone's SALs. And knew I could rely on you all to help me. Not sure if an...

Hello. I've nearly finished my current project, unusual for me! And now want to shop for my next. Yippee! I have a pattern for a tapestry but want to work it with cross stitch on 25 count Lugana. The pattern is 200 stitches by 200 stitches. I need help in working out how much fabric I need to get. A...

Don't give up on your UFO's. It took me 21 YEARS to finish Ballet by Lanarte which was my wedding present from my husband and I was able to give it to him on our 21st anniversary.

Delighted to tell you that it's nearly back to normal. :whoop: Thank you all for your advise, especially Serinde. The vacuming over muslin did the job. :applesauce: Currently hanging up in the conservatory but ready for re-framing. Note to all ... make sure you check the wall behind your frames for ...

Thanks for your advise and sympathy. I've stopped crying nor! lol
Serinde. I'm trying the advise you kindly supplied and it is making a difference.

Anyway, yesterday I not...

Has anyone else shopped here? I ordered some hand dyed material 28 days ago knowing it would take a month to arrive. It arrived today :whoop: and it's fabulous! If anyone is looking for some special material I can't recommend Sparklies enough. Lovely material, super colours and excellent communicati...

Love it.

In my humble opinion one of the very best things of cross stitch is how varied our pieces are. That means we can take interest in other's pieces even if it is not to our own taste. Keep up the good work.

I am totally computer illiterate but will ask someone to help with the photos.

So I have done my new years resolution! Each year I plan to complete my wip's before starting a new one. This year I have tried to be more realistic and decided to dedicate the first three months to them and then reward myself with one new one. I've done my time. Although I still have a few wip's le...

Hoping some wonderful nice members can assist. I have recently bought, from e.bay, two patterns. Sorry but no photos as I am useless at modern tech. Both by DMC. One called Wimbledon and the other St Andrews. As advertised neither had "wool"( but chart refers to cottons). But they come wit...

Well done you! Really good idea doing a practise piece. Don't worry if it takes you a while to get into it. It will be worth it.
Like so many other I really admire you for doing this ... and welcome to out forum. x

Happy NEW YEAR everyone, from Kibworth, Leicestershire, uk. x

Thanks Richard. I think alternating it with my own projects is a really good idea.
