Hi, littlelegs, I enjoy cross stich, and seem to have a drawer full of half and nearly finished projects. My best is a framed picture of a poppy field. I recently tried blackwork as a variation, and find this quite satisfying, as the stitches are so varied. :-)

Hi Claire

Is your hallowe'en cross stitch ready to hang this year?

I don't think I'll make the Knit and Stitch this year as I lurve my new home to much to leave it on it's own for too long at the moment, :-)

I will have to consult my technical adviser (son) on that as I'm not very good at computer stuff etc. All seems a bit complicated and that makes me nervous!


As he's on honeymoon at the moment I think I'll have to wait a bit......

Hi All

I've been doing cross stitch for about 10 years now and some days it's the only way to stay sane!

I've done some lovely things and there just isn't enough time to do everything I want....

For anyone interested, why not visit the Knitting & Stitching Show at Alexandra Palace during 10th-13th October - absolutely wonderful day out and great for all sorts of creative stuff!! So good that I'm driving down from Suffolk just for the day!!

Last year I had a mini meetup with 2 lovely GR members - anyone fancy it again?

AnninGlos - you can get a clip on magnifier that would help with stitching - I use mine all the time.

I think there may e some on the boards, pretty certain somebody was on the other craft thread talking cross stitch.

I have done a couple of pictures which are framed and daughter has done a lot, some beautiful ones. I find it too much of a strain on my eyes now sadly so switched to card making and scrap booking.
