Well, I've emailed a pic of it to Cross Stitch Crazy asking if it's the longest time ever taken to finish a bookmark. I figured it was the kind of thing they might like - LOL!

Went to the in-laws' yesterday and my lovely MIL showed me a HUGE pile of cross stitch mags she had dating back to 1991! She then said I could take them home to have a look through if I liked. She wants them back, of course, but she said she's in no hurry and if there's any patterns I like to feel free to use them.

Spent yesterday evening going through some of them and there are some great designs (she even has the first few issues of Cross Stitcher Magazine!). I still have plenty more to flick through yet too. Ooh, and to top it all, she said I could keep the cover kits - how great is that?! Even if I don't like the designs that were originally with them, I can always use the pieces for other projects. :)

It's so great to have a nice MIL with whom you share an interest!

I am very lucky - I get on well with my MIL and we share an interest. I was admiring her new storage boxes too. She has a gorgeous new DMC chest and a beautiful bobbin box with a sampler (which she sitched herself, of course!) in the lid. We always get talking stitchy when hubby and I go to visit with Xan. My SIL (her eldest daughter) also does cross stitch. :)

The first in my Quotes Collection. I'm designing each of these quotes mini samplers myself and then putting them all together in a kind of scrap book. This first one reads

"Curiouser and curiouser!" cried Alice...
- Alice's Adventures n Wonderland
by Lewis Carroll

It's stitched on white 18-count aida in Anchor 1375 (single strand throughout).

Did you cut the card backing yourself or did that come like that?

Really sets it all off.
