Such a pretty design! at going to fill in the one missing stitch -- isn't it odd how they drive you nuts even if no-one else notices them ? Mind you, what would have kept nagging me about this design (and I'd probably have had to "fix" it...) is how the motif in tthe top centre is different form the other three (I have a bit of a symmetry obsession...))

Love your JE stitching I have the book, can't wait till I have some time (aka finish my current projects) to pick up one of those! the bear family - can't wait to see them getting finished!!

Thats very pretty and I wouldn't have spotted that stitch if you hadn't pointed it out!

I did a lovely Millenium design, which is in my gallery and it wasn't until it was framed and hanging up in my breakfast room that I realised that I had missed one tiny motif on it. It worried me for ages but have now decided it makes it unique!! No one else has ever noticed.

I agree! I stitched the top motif first, then when I came to do the others, I thought I had made a mistake. But no, the pattern shows it that way. If I had seen the difference before I stitched the top one, I would have changed it to match! I like symmetry too . . . Are you by any chance another Taurus?

Nope, just a symmetry nut

HELP!!! I don't post photos very often and I keep forgetting how to do it.

I have uploaded the photo to my gallery here, and now wanted to display it in a message.

I copied the image code, then in the Reply message, I clicked on the Img button shown above and pasted the image code in the middle.

But instead of the photo appearing, all that appears in the message is the link.

What am I doing wrong? And I promise to write this down somewhere for next time . . .

Try just selecting the code and copy then paste into message, I don't think you need to hit the img button above the message.

Correction:

If you go for the "Direct Link" you need to put it in the middle of imgs

If yo go for "Img code" (which equals a smaller picture) you don't need to hit img button

Hi Mags

The Image Code works OK now for a small picture.



But still can't get the Direct Link to work.

When I do the preview, or try posting, only the info I pasted appears, not the picture.

Sorry, I posted a correction, I don't think you need the img for the direct link because the img code is already there.

I think I'm confusing the issue

Just experimenting - hope you can understand this.

This is img code

Thank you! The last one is what I wanted. I tried it and have now written the instructions in a safe place . . . .

Ive kept a note also
Great picture by the way

Thanks - always hard to know what teenage boys will like. I've been doing birthday cards for them since they were babies. The choice of patterns was easier then!

His older brother is getting one of a kid on a skateboard!

You've chosen great patterns for the boys, this one looks just the right thing and "kid on skateboard" sounds good too

Just catching up!
I love the designs you've been doing but I have to admit to being another one who likes symmetry in designs and have given myself all kinds of trouble altering them.

Lovely stitching!
