hi david

so glad you enjoy doing it

i like cross stitching animals

what is it you most like to cross stitch

lorraine

Yes, I do crossstitch, have been doing it since I injured my back about 13 years ago, do all sorts and addicted to it. :-D

hi potty

glad you are enjoying it

i am just about to start doing a christmas teddy bears

i have about 5 projects on the go at the moment really must get them finished

I am doing a Mr Men and Little Misses sampler at the moment. Quite a simple design but I am really enjoying it. The kit is from Bothy Threads and I really like the thread organiser. This is probably the first time I haven't ended up with jumble of threads. The organiser has a notch at the top that the threads loop round and a slot at the bottom to hold them in place. Will certainly keep it to reuse on other projects.

hello all cross stitchers
how you all getting on with it

not done any all summer

might get back into it now the summers over

renes

so sorry i seem to have not replyed

littlelegs, you are not the only one! :-D :-D

If it wasn't for OH, I'd still be in the Dark Ages - only halfway out of it even now. ;-)

hello to all

so lovely to hear from you



i am not good at computers either
this is about all i can do [post ] :-D :-D

Amokavid - cross stitching a family tree sounds a lovely idea, and one that you could keep going back and adding to.
Definitely one to think about trying. :-)

Island, my first halloween stitch was finished and made into a cushion last year, already for spooks night! I backed it with some spider themed printed cotton and edged it with black frilly knicker lace - looks so nice I haven't put it away!!

I've still got the hanger one to do that is even better but probably won't get time this year as I am still trying to finish the sampler thingy for my son's wedding.

Glad you have settled into your new home and hope you are getting the veggie plot organised. I know what you mean about leaving home - I really don't like leaving Suffolk any more unless it involves serious fun!!

Geordie, my drawers are full of finished projects! I recently promised myself I would only do practical ones, like cushions as I don't have room to hang framed ones (well, actually, I do, but I hate having to dust them!)

I have just finished a runner, only the hem to do and I will start that tonight if I can bring myself to put the ironing board up to press it. There was quite a lot of metallic embroidery - ugh! So difficult to do as the threads kept coming out of the needle.

A friend brought back a kit from China and the lady in the shop had marked out a 10 x 10 grid on the fabric in red. She promised it would wash out - fingers crossed! The material edges had been zig-zag stitched - wonderful, no messing about with masking tape.

I love any sort of counted thread embroidery - Hardanger, blackwork, canvas work, especially using lots of different stitches.
