Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Well, you did put the chair out there for them, didn't you?!

I recently received a free 3 inch wooden hoop with a stash order. As a result, I came up with a sweet pea design to fit this. If anyone would like to make use of it, I've added the chart as a free download on my blog. There are 2 colour versions, one pink and one mauve, and also 2 stitch versions: o...

I do still have the occasional time to lurk on here and see what you are all up to! I have had so much help from this forum with design issues, especially with the "too similar symbols" problem. Whenever I complete a design, I go straight into the "change symbols" area and check ...

It may not have been your ideaal stitch project but, wow, have you done a brilliant job on it!

I love the Spring Ring stitching you have done and the framing is perfect

What a beauty that is! Stunning

A beautiful design and a real treasure for your friends to have. It's looking stunning already.

What a lovely design! I can see why you took to this one

Sally: I haven't posted or lurked here for a while as I've had quite a bit of work, designing for UK magazines and also Dutch and Turkish ones plus starting up an Etsy shop. I still like to lurk here when I have time as I like to see what you are all stitching. I'm not grumbling about the work thoug...

Lovely as always! And those wreaths are perfect, I like both of them

I've posted a free to download polyanthus bookmark/border for any of you who would like to make use of it. It's a very spring-time design of mauve and yellow and it makes me want to eat chocolate eggs......not that there are any of those in this design!
It's available on my blogspot.

A bit late but from me too! Yes, a very freindly and welcoming group to be a part of

You may not have been too keen to stitch it but I think it's great and I expect your Mum will love it. It's also so unusual and different.....love it! If your Mum doesn't like it, send it my way

I've just added some free art motif designs onto my blogspot if anyone would like to make use of them and as a break from your Christmas stitching.......although I'm sure you are all organised and finished your Christmas stitching long ago

Yes I agree with many of the sentiments expressed on here too. Sending you Mabel

Thank you for your lovely comments :D And as for sharing the chart with you all, you're more than welcome. I've had some great feedback from this friendly forum over the past few years. You've all been a part of my learning curve ( and you've also converted me to stitching as well as designing :appl...

Your comments about with or without backstitch mirror the ones on my Facebook posting :) There seems to be an equal split between the two choices. The design has ended up the size it is (roughly 7 x 9 inches) as I kept resizing the original artwork to get enough detail and shading in the chart. A cu...

Hi Stitchers,

I've been trying out charting my watercolour paintings and I've added a pink rose chart that is free to download on my blogspot if anyone is interested.
There is a backstitch version and also an image of the design without any backstitch.

I'm pleased to see that you are stitching the rabbit. He looks good stitched up and you've done a great job (but then I am a little biased )

That looks lovely! A perfect rose
