Quack Quack…how cute

North Wales for me

I'm doing this cupcake one at the moment. It was just so cute & colourful I wanted to do it and then my friend who loves baking moved house so I decided to make it as a house warming gift. Here's how it will look and my progress to date. http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/i353/Pinguxxx/print%20...

Depends where you buy it........I've just started using Tandem Cottage again (they have an Ebay arm too) and their prices for an FQ of Belfast start at £9.00 for the basic colours. I always shop around as that is quite a difference from Sew and So! Think I'll have a look at them then thanks, you o...

Have fabric prices increased (in the UK) significantly across all suppliers has anyone noticed? Or could it just be where I purchased mine (I won't name!)

I bought a piece of Belfast Linen 19x27 inches 9 months ago for £9.50 and now it's £11.95!!!! An increase of 25% !

I did my last design on Belfast linen and loved it hence thinking that's what I'd go for.

Thanks Mrs MBK

I think about 10" too. But there'll be a bit of fabric showing around the design so I want the fabric to look nice too.

I do all mine so the finished stich always lies the same way which is /.

I did Dimensions Santa's Secret and that had half stitches too. Not sure how well you can see the stitches but I've a SAL for it if u want to have a look?

Fantastic news, I bet you're all so looking forward to the big event. I think if we get hitched we will slope off and so it, so much cheaper and less hassle!!! The dog is gorgeous and will be a perfect for little girls. I'm sure they'll love it more than something shop bought and will provide hours ...

I'm thinking of stitching Skitzzzz's Heart and making it into a cushion. Any tips on which fabric would be the best to do it on? I was thinking linen but thought I'd ask the experts first before buying anything.

Oh that is just soooo cute!! It's a lovely design and a great keepsake

I couldn't find where I'd posted progress of these so easier to do a new thread.
Just back from the framers and I'm really pleased with them.

:applesauce: on your L*K finish, it looks great. Do you know what style of frame you will go for? Can't wait to see it framed up. I'll have to wait to pay day to take mine in tothe framers. I had loads of thread left over with mine too :) You're HAED is beautiful, it looks as though they are looking...

And another… (which I should have done in time for St David's day!)

Here are a couple of buttons I've just made for my little girl. Getting quite addicted to them and have a stash of about a dozen buttons so I may have more to show

No I haven't. Not sure I'd be confident enough. It's going on display in the hallway so I want I to look good!

Ooo luuurvely

I did about 10 last night by could have carried on for hours

What a lovely design and great autumminal colours. Looking forward to watching this progress Rose.

Lovely cards everyone. I think I've left it too late now too
