Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi all, I’m wondering if there is a way to find some older kits that are out of print. (Excluding eBay of course). And in line with copyright issues, do they let you buy the chart or pattern anywhere once they no longer sell the kits? The ones I am after are Dimensions gold collection, Mighty samura...

Happy new year! Wishing you a healthy safe year ahead.

That is one of the nicest stockings I’ve ever seen! And it’s so beautifully stitched and put together, well done

Thank you everyone for the kind comments

Oh that is a good idea! Yes that does help, and that way I can just order the same colour of thread needed for the tassel

Thank you everyone. I am seriously chuffed I’ve made that. Your tips for having a smaller quick finish on the go definitely keeps me motivated. I took the picture from a good angle :lol: but it works fine, been sticking pins in it all day and it’s holding up. I may make a matching scissor keep one d...

What thoughtful gifts, you lucky lady!!

You can’t read it without singing it

These are so cute!! Beautifully stitched and so neat.
That card is so lovely.

Mabel that looks lovely there!

I’ve bought some embroidery starter kits where you can try out all the stitches in a kind of sample. I’ve looked at Trish burr videos and I’m loving her flower designs. So when I’m feeling braver I might venture into something soon.

Carole my thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. I’m glad you managed to be part of the funeral, even virtual, being with everyone I hope helped.

Finished this pincushion, but oh my I need some sewing lessons in future to put this together more neatly :neutral: But it will do for now. I’m sure I’ll look back on it and be amused by the way I made it But it’s so cute I’m happy with it. I’ve stuffed it with wool🥰 https://i.postimg.cc/8fBjH0h0/87...

Thank you Mabel
Funnily, he loved his birthday and receiving presents, like a little kid, but he left the giving of presents to us kids to mum
No doubt we would be watching a movie, we’ve seen a hundred times already, and eating so much food and chocolate.

You’ve both convinced me! I’m sending a photo, I hope they love it

Framed pieces I was hoping to have this gifted for Christmas, but we’re in tier 4. I’m so tempted to send a photo of what it is, they have no idea I’ve made this for them. Or to keep it a surprise 😩 https://i.postimg.cc/8JBnCfX2/6-FFA9-A11-6397-4-C29-9-D17-BCDD85-B896-F7.jpg My husband loves this on...

Next round of whatever everyone is having is on me.

My dad would have been 60 today

Thanks guys for letting me sound off in a safe place

I hate to sound ungrateful, but I need to unload to people who would understand. We have secret Santa at work, and although I don’t feel like celebrating, I’m happy to partake for a team event. This year was different because of the distance, someone set up an online wish list - so I put in some cro...

That looks amazing Mabel!

Thank you Mabel!
I found a local framer and visited them today. They were very patient with me, and I’m hoping to collect in two weeks
