I love it! I've never seen this before. I'm a hopeless romantic and Jane Austen fan so I must investigate further!

I had to chuckle, for those that asked I did Ladies Day at the Races or Ascot which has been mentioned. The new one will be out soon and when I saw it I thought 'okay, not my thing but okay', then I got stitching and it grabbed me, I have learned from stitching for a magazine that the ones you look at and think 'I would never do that, or not my thing' well I have stitched a few pieces which I would not stitch for myself and when they were done I changed my mind, funny but true. I can't say what it is but the new one has 63 characters if I remember correctly? and I had so many comments as I stitched about it. As for Ladies Day if you have the last Cross Stitch Collection there is a page on me and on my stand is Ladies Day almost finished.
Happy Stitching

that's awesome, I was wondering if that was the piece you mentioned and if that was you, you did a beautiful job . How often do you stitch for the magazine?

[crafterglen]

Thank you for the kind words, yes the one at the top is me in the conservatory, my favourite place to stitch, the bottom one is in the lounge. I pretty much stitch for the magazine full time, I don't have to, can take breaks if I want to but they just keep coming, like the one I am doing just now, it is a 'desperate hurry' one and I have two days left of the two weeks to stitch it! Actually, they know I will do my best and they will get it when it is done, they are a great magazine to work for and I hope it continues for a long time.
Better get back to the stitching.
Happy Stitching

do you get your projects back after they are done taking pictures?

[crafterglen]

That made me smile, no I do not, they just send me a lovely cheque, i do get to keep the left over threads though and they can be a lot sometimes, you know just a few stitches out of a skein. I must ask what they do do with all the finished projects? Keep forgetting to!

I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I purchased the summer ball kit from the magazine years ago. I started it and had kept the pattern along with the threads in a plastic project container. I wanted to pick it up again and start but cannot find the container with the pattern and floss. I went to Sandy Littlejohns site last night and purchased the downloadable pattern from her, but the colors are different then the magazine pattern. Since I have already started, I don't want to have to frog the girls dresses. I was wondering if anyone has the pattern from the magazine? I am desperate!!

Thanks so much,

Stephanie
