Thanks very much :)

I've taken the advice given, and Pooh's calendar has been rescued before it becomes a UFO. I'll start a SAL thread for it which will hopefully keep it on track.

I've finally got around to framing this. I couldn't really afford to get it done at a framers so I've done it myself. I got this stuff at the Sewing for pleasure show at the NEC and it made it quite easy to stretch the fabric properly and I'm rather happy with the results.

Not the best photo in the world but it isn't non-reflective glass and I had a bit of a 'mare getting a photo without myself in it :roll:
If anyone is interested, I've done a sort of step-by-step on my blog -> http://brummieblogger.typepad.com/a_bru ... shelf.html

How can I have missed this thread when books are my favourite thing!? Great project and beautiful finish! You've added in some of my favourite authors, too. :D

Bit surprised you had to ask permission to change it, though. I'd have thought, since it's for yourself, you could please yourself what modifications you make??
