Yes, it is my ToS! I am neglecting it at the moment because I realised I have to get my tiger to the framer before he is inundated with Christmas orders! It's a Christmas present for my 8yr old grandson who is obsessed with cats of all sorts.

:applesauce: Everytime I see this one I am so amazed and how beautiful and magnificent it is. Your stand looks really good too and I would be proud of putting something like that together by myself too. (And what good eyes Mrs MBK has to see your TOS there too. I had to go back and check for myself.) Your grandson is one lucky child to be getting such a great present.

I can't get over how realistic the tiger looks- it's beautiful!

I love your floor stand too- I must admit after getting a severe case of sore wrist from holding my frame I think I need to get one also- one that holds Qsnaps so I'll check the Sew and So website and do a copy-copy hehe :)

Really looking forward to seeing your completed tiger :)

Even though a little off-focus, I think this is the best pic I have taken of him so far. :D

Oh, and I've broken yet another needle! I only have 1 size 24 left, so will have to send for some more... and, um, while I'm at it, I may as well order some more threads for my Birds on a wire HAED stash yes? Such a waste of postage to only get needles! :lol:

Looks like you need to buy your needles in bulk! :)

He's eyes are mesmerizing. And yes, I think you should get more threads and fabric and maybe another pattern or two when you order your needles.

:applesauce: Every update makes him more magnificent than the one before. And your french knots are perfectly fine. And it would be a total waste to just order needles. No one just orders needles.
