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.

Thanks for your lovely comments, everyone!

Amazing

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.

Oh, this is looking really fabulous now.
(and I envy you that frame )

Beautiful

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

Thank you everyone!



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

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!

amazing!!!

He is such a great picture and this one really shows the 3D effect.

Such lovely French Knots Fljotsdale,they make the water foam.

You mean great big clumsy french knots, Lesley!

Looks like you need to buy your needles in bulk!

Great pic! Of course it would be a waste just to get needles........... !

Even more beautiful!!! Very nice update!! I hope you get your needles and threads soon--I don't blame you for ordering them together at all!!

no, definitely not,I wish my french knots got close to how yours look.I appear to have just one good french knot in me each year I think I would run out of time,to have done half way decent knots on my project

He gets more and more stunning with each update! Beautiful work.

Amazing work!!! It looks gorgeous!!

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.

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.
