I went into town yesterday and found Issue 76 of Cross Stitch Gold and it had THIS in it..............


I couldn't resist such a stunning chart! It's by Joan Elliott. I hadn't treated myself to a mag for months. Then when I got home and read it I found last month's issue had THIS in it.........


Sorry about the blurry photo, this one was only shown very small in the mag. What a gorgeous pair! Luckily this mag is on ebay for 40p so fingers crossed I'll win it - then the charts will be what I replace the Air Mermaid with when I finish her.

Gorgeous designs Sarah love native american indian designs x look forward to seeing these stitched xx

they will look lovely side by side.

i won a pollyanna pickering kit on ebay dirt cheap of a baby lion cub in a summer setting only to find i have the pattern of the same cub in a winter setting from a magazine also by pollyanna pickering. i too want to do a side by side one day as they are like yours, facing eachother..what a stroke of luck hey. I am going to use rustico aida for mine.

Fantastic designs!! What a good time to have checked out a magazine!!

Great find!

Gorgeous! Good luck with your ebay bid!

What a great find! I sure hope you get it

Great pics!
You know, it might be an idea to stitch them together on one piece of fabric, so it looks like a family group - that is, if they are not too big, and not too difficult to match up. After all, the background of both is very similar - they look as though they should be together. I think that is what I would try to do, anyway.

They are a great pair aren't they? I just got the issue with the Indian girl in it last week and love it--just a matter of finding time to stitch her up. I hope you manage to win that issue for a good price

Wohooo!! They are so lovely! Yes, very agree, I think the background could be combined together with some extra efforts. Good luck for your auction and congratulations! Can't wait to see it!!

Hope you'll win the auction !

Hope you win the auction, they would definitely look lovely together

I Joan!

Hope you win the auction

Good luck on getting them! They're great designs!

Sarah, I have the mag if you want it. I bought it for the wedding set so as long as you don't mind that chart missing it is yours. Let me know if you would like it.

Aww, thank you, Midge, I will PM you. x

Looks just your sort of thing Sarah. I look forward to watching you work on them.

I forgot to update this thread although I PM'd Midge. Midge very kindly sent me the Indian Maiden chart so now I'll be able to stitch the pair. They are stitched on 28ct hand dyed Jobelan in "Earth" which it seems I can only get from Polstitches. Anyway, I will be ordering some on payday. I won't be able to stitch both these on the same piece of fabric, they're about 10 x 14 inches each. I'll stitch both up though and then have them framed identically. Can't wait to get started!
