Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

It is my birthday next week and hubby wants a list of things I would like. I was thinking another cross stitch kit (I have lots but there is always one more kit!) I was looking at the Owl from Vervaco, another Tiger kit..... maybe a nice landscape/sea scene.... decisions decisions ... anyone else ha...

Grey and windy! It would be nice to see some sunshine!

Your work is stunning!!

These quilts arrived yesterday after being in the postal system for 10 days - I really did think they had gone missing! They were for twin girls with cystic fibrosis and they love them http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy84/katstitcher/New_1_DSCF0171.jpg http://i780.photobucket.com/albums/yy84/kats...

Thank you ladies for all your kind comments!

Rosemary - I have messaged you

Sorry for the questions. I have just looked at the site and thought that it is brilliant, so moving but also very, very positive and uplifting. I will send a cheque in the next few days to help with the purchase of fabric as I m not able to stitch at present. Rosemary Wow - that was unexpected!! Th...

You have done a great job of the design it all works so well together. What happens if the people are not able to give a donation, I presume that they still receive the quilt and that there are always enough in the funds to cover costs or am I wrong? Rosemary The quilts are given to the children wi...

This quilt is lovely. Everything matches so well too. I know that stitchers from all around the world stitch the cross stitched bits but wondered about other aspects of the quilt. Who designs the whole thing? Who provides the fabric? Rosemary Hi Rosemary - Usually the children/parents request a the...

Not only have I got my stitching bug back, I have finished the first quilt of 2011 for LovequiltsUK!

Here is my latest creation for LoveQuiltsUK with the help from some very talented stitchers

Good luck in your new hobby! I went to my local quilting shop and went for a quick course on the basics. Most of the equipment you'll need has already been suggested - definately a self healing cutting mat and a decent rotary cutter and ruler. I usually use moon thread for my quilt and a quilting fo...

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments
I am currently working on the next one for a little girl - the theme is princesess and minnie mouse - here is a little photo of the progress so far

I stumbled across this site whilst lookies for freebies and thought joining a site with fellow stitchers would be a great idea. I do a lot of cross stitching both for a hobby and for charity. Any new ideas for things that are quick and easy to do for charity would be welcome as I am getting a littl...

Thankyou! I enjoy making them and it is seeing the children with the quilts that make it all worthwhile

Beauty....and for such a great charity. I need to hit Google & see if there's a similar thing in the US. Perhaps doing some worthwhile stitching would help get the bug to bite. Yes there is a US site - http://lovequilts2macs.homestead.com/LQHomepage.html" target="_blank We have lots o...

Fantastic photos

I have finished quilt no 40 for LovequiltsUK! Not only that I have got my stitching bug back too!

That is the sealife quilt isn't it - I think that is going to be a very "cool" quilt
Thanks for signing up Jaki

Think yourself lucky - I have 1 mother-in-law and 1 stepmother-in-law

How rude - I would have told her to go and take the litter tray with her!
I can see how she does your head in ... best to ignore it for the time being just come on here and explode !

Yes my bug is back I am half way through the tulip flower fairy ... and I know I shouldn't but I am thinking about treating myself to another cross stitch kit.... shouldn't really because I have lots already!
