[Lessa54]

I've pm'd too

[nachosmiley]

Last chance to sign up for this folks....game starts tomorrow!

[nachosmiley]

Right...here we go....the first two numbers drawn are 20 and 29!

20 at 250x magnification

20 at 50x magnification



29 at 250x magnification

29 at 50x magnification



20 is a difficult one...it will be interesting to see if someone can guess that one! 29 is easier but I'm looking for a precise description please!


Good luck everyone , I will reveal what todays items are tomorrow.

[MaudL]

I got one!! It's number 20 and I have noooooo idea what that is, lol
The other one though, I'm thinking it's a French knot? Stitched with variegated purple thread on opalescent fabric?
Do we have to figure out what brand of thread and fabric too?

[nachosmiley]

Well done MaudL it is a french knot....I wasn't particularly looking for the floss and fabby description, but hey you did well on that too!!

I may as well post the zoomed out pic for number 29....the french knot!(it's a little blurry...didn't realise til I saw it at a large size )...oh well I'm sure you all know what they look like!

[rcperryls]

none for me. not a great start, but maybe that is good since I don't do well when I have a great start. Good going Maud, I figured out French Knots but didn't think about it being variegated. Haven't a clue about the other one. Another reason to look forward to tomorrow's picks. I will have to come back during the day to see if I can come up with a good guess.

Do I get bonus points for recognizing the pattern as Abi's Tree of Stitches?
Just kidding, lol

[dwitt]

I got both today Off to a great start! hmmmmm.... what is 29????? Let me ponder it some more..............

[wolfmom]

Got 1 today 20 looks like a sieve or something like that. I guessed 29 were french knots. Well done Maud

[Ketta]

I didn't get any today, but since 29 was guessed... I'm thinking that 20 is the plastic wrapper thingy off of a soda bottle or similar beverage. Not familiar with many brands.. so couldn't tell you that.

[nachosmiley]

Aww ketta you were on the right lines but not quite


Here is 20 in all its glory....thought the bubble on the previous pic may have given it away, but sadly not, that was a difficult one though!




So after day one MaudL is in the lead for the fabric prize!


I will post the next numbers a little later on to give our American friends a fair chance too!

[backafteradozenyrs]

How did I miss this yesterday???

I did get 29, so I'm off & running (just a little behind the pack).

I did see the french knot but had no idea about the hand santizer (WOW, things sure do look different up close & personal!)

[tiffstitch]

No numbers for me, and good guesses everyone!

[nachosmiley]

Ok the next two numbers drawn were 12 and 30!

12 @250x mag.


12 @50x mag.


30 @250x mag.


30 @50x mag.


Both pretty difficult huh? I think I will give a couple of clues...

Number 12 - think of something organic, natural and smelly!
Number 30 - well just think about those colours...what has those colours together, something your child would take to school perhaps?

Good luck

[jocellogirl]

One number out of four so far. Is number 12 the root of a bulb of garlic? No idea about the other one yet. You TOS is beautiful by the way. What are the fabric and thread?

[rcperryls]

Both numbers today so I'm at 2/10. Jo's guess sounds good to me. If not that, maybe a leek or onion skin?? for 12. Can't begin to think what 30 might be.

Carole

[wolfmom]

I think 30 is an eraser? 12 hemp? Got 1 today so up to 2/10 now

[backafteradozenyrs]

None today & I have no idea what they are...so I'm still at 1/10.
