Re: Bothy Thread "Gypsy Wagon" Color Question

I'm sorry, I haven't used madeira threads before or have any in my stash so I can't compare any colours for you....maybe if you post what particular colours you want to convert someone who has both brands may be able to have a look in their stash for you for a direct comparison? :x:

It looks beautiful Mabel :applesauce: :applesauce:

And I can't see the felt fluff on the distance shot at all so it can't be that intrusive especially as the border is so light. :D

Re: My new project...pic heavy

Thanks for the feedback everyone I really do appreciate it :D When I get going I will be offering a variety of sizes and fabric counts and I would obviously be open to custom cuts too (however I haven't devised a pricing strategy for those yet). Anyhow my lovely hubby found a scanner at the tip shop...

Re: OT: sleeping in a cardboard box

My friend did this a couple of years ago but they were very unlucky and it was snowing....they said the experience changed how they look at homelessness and made them appreciate the creature comforts that we all have the misfortune of taking for granted these days. Kudos to you for doing this Mabel....
