??? I'm confused..... Better explanation pls?

[XandraS]

There is a Cross Stitch chart a-day calender (or at least there used to be), so I assume Liz is planning to stitch all the patterns from the 2010 one.

Wow! large designs, med or small? Like motifs? What would u do when finished? As a needlebook, as a wall hanger, ornaments, etc? All on one piece of fabric or individual?

I have last year's stitch a day calendar too. It has 5 designs each week (it doesn't have thm for the weekends). I used a couple of the designs for boscornu last year - they were lovely to stitch. There's some gorgeous designs in there and I have kept them all for future use, as when stitched on higher counts, they're the perfect size for cards. There are sets within the clendar too, for example there's a whole set of monograms and all the zodia signs too. Then there are themes appropriate to the time of year, such as Mothers' Day, Father's Day, Independance Day; and a bunch of holiday-themes ones for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Xmas, Easter, etc.

I've not seen one for 2011, but from what I can see on Amazon, there'll be a new one in 2012.

ETA: I've found the 2011 one now too... apparently it only has 3 designs each week though, which is a bit of a jip if you ask me!

[Nachstenliebe]

hmm the name of the calender is a bit misleading.. but I like the concept of it!

I bought that a few years ago, but many of the designs were very large. Smaller would be better . . .

I have the 2009 and 2010 calendars and I recently bought the 2008 and 2011 ones on Amazon but those packages haven't come yet. My "Mother" project is from the 2009 one I think. There are several ones that have similar motifs that I'd like to stitch on an afghan. I think most of the designs are no bigger than 7" x 5" as the largest, but I could be wrong.

What a great idea. look forward to seeing your progress

[Lizzieh]

I've been doing really well on this one despite having no feeling in y finger tips. Then taday I had to frog the same bit twice. It took me two hours. I hate Mr

[LadyS]

Sorry about the visit. Gotta hate those!

Hope we see some pictures soon!

[meerkat]

I think there must be a fresh batch of frogs around,I had to redo some of my Memorial Rose yesterday and I haven't done very much at all this last week, stitches in the wromg place and the wrong colour
Hope to see pics soon Liz.

Sorry to hear about the frogging.. so annoying when you feel you've accomplished a lot. Hope it's smooth sailing now.

[Lizzieh]

Hooray. I have finished the cross stitch for the 1st January!



Next it is the 4th January because there weren't any designs for weekends. Watch this space.

I changed this design a bit as the lettering was in a solid colour. I liked the variageted thread but it did mean it needed backstitching. Took ages.
