Stitching in braile.. that is so awesome!

Happy anniversary to you and your husband, Kell! It's a lovely card!

I actually first saw some very simple stitched braille cards quite a while ago (must be about a year ago now) - they were simply black French knots on red fabric - and I thought it was such a lovely idea, but I didn't fancy doing all those knots and fancied a tiny bit of a decorative border that wouldn't detract from the message, so I did it in beads with a backstitched border.

Beautiful card Kell, I love your Braille series

Very nice and Happy Anniversary!!!!

Lovely work Kell

Well Done kels, what a fantastic idea and Happy Anniversary

My Mam has just asked me to do a personalised birthday one for her blind friend, so I'm well chuffed.

Your card looks great and hope you had a nice Anniversary.

How do you know your spelling the words right?Have you a book or your mums friend?

What a neat idea! It would never have occurred to me to use beads that way.

Well, I'm usually quite good at spelling - LOL! But if you mean how do I know the braille letters are right, I looked them up online.

Good job you knew what i meant,never was to good at explaining things.

Happy Anniversary, Kell, and what a nice card! I've got a chart somewhere in my stash of a Good Luck and an I Love You card in braille but the dots are hearts or possibly (can't quite remember) tiny ladybirds. I may do the hearts one for DH for our fifth anniversary later this month thanks for reminding me of that design!

Lovely idea! I saw that u were in the magazine regarding the Braille card. Congratulations!

Wel, I totally lost my stitchy bug and haven't picked up a needle in almost 2 weeks, which feels disgraceful! Instead, I designed a couple of charts, so I don't feel like I've wasted too much time after all.

However, I'm now hoping my stitchy bug has returned., I don't have any more shifts at work this week and I'm hopeful that I'll get back into it all fromtomorrow. I'll be using my afternoons to stitch the 3 ATCs I need to do this month (which Xan has a nap) and the evenings will be devoted to the Taj Mahal sampler as I really want to get it finished and handed over.

Wish me luck!

Good luck getting all your goals achieved.. I know when I have a deadline for stuff it sometimes scares my stitchy bug away

Well, I managed to get about half my ATC stitched this afternoon and did a nice little section on the Taj Mahal thisevening. Not as much on either as I would have liked, but it's a start. I'm hoping my stitchy bug will come back in full tomorrow!

Just caught up with this again. Lovely projects Kell. Hope your stitching bug comes back soon.
