Look what I found!

Post by Sarah Gixxer »

I went into town yesterday and found Issue 76 of Cross Stitch Gold and it had THIS in it..............

I couldn't resist such a stunning chart! It's by Joan Elliott. I hadn't treated myself to a mag for months. Then when I got home and read it I found last month's issue had THIS in it.........

Sorry about the blurry photo, this one was only shown very small in the mag. What a gorgeous pair! Luckily this mag is on ebay for 40p so fingers crossed I'll win it - then the charts will be what I replace the Air Mermaid with when I finish her. :drool:

Sarah G: Wow! Can you imagine, how those two would look like, if you stitched them and put them on the wall side by side?

Great pics! :D
You know, it might be an idea to stitch them together on one piece of fabric, so it looks like a family group - that is, if they are not too big, and not too difficult to match up. After all, the background of both is very similar - they look as though they should be together. I think that is what I would try to do, anyway. :)

They are a great pair aren't they? I just got the issue with the Indian girl in it last week and love it--just a matter of finding time to stitch her up. I hope you manage to win that issue for a good price :dance:

Wohooo!! They are so lovely! :wub: Yes, very agree, I think the background could be combined together with some extra efforts. Good luck for your auction and congratulations! :applesauce: Can't wait to see it!!

Sarah, I have the mag if you want it. I bought it for the wedding set so as long as you don't mind that chart missing it is yours. Let me know if you would like it.

I forgot to update this thread although I PM'd Midge. Midge very kindly sent me the Indian Maiden chart :wub: so now I'll be able to stitch the pair. They are stitched on 28ct hand dyed Jobelan in "Earth" which it seems I can only get from Polstitches. Anyway, I will be ordering some on payday. I won't be able to stitch both these on the same piece of fabric, they're about 10 x 14 inches each. I'll stitch both up though and then have them framed identically. Can't wait to get started!
