Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

And so now we have completed what we set out to do - enjoy our favorite past time with someone else in mind. It has been fun. Everyone has done a fabulous job on the stitching, finishing, giving and receiving. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:...

Thank you ladies! It really was a pleasure to host. It was great to find out a little bit more about each of you and see the fabulous stitching you have done for one another. Great job everyone!

Thanks...very much appreciated!

Sorry - I have been trying to update the first page and for some reason it copies to end. Tried to delete but can't. Please just ignore.

In Canada the Spring Equinox occurred just yesterday. I think that is cause for celebration. How about an exchange of either a bookmark or greeting card among members? They are both quick to stitch, have a wide variety of patterns to choose from, lay flat for ease in mailing, and above all are abso...

Really, to set up the exchange is not a lot of work. And it has been a lot of fun, from learning about different fabrics and techniques at the beginning to seeing the beautiful stitching that you have gifted one another. There has been excellent participation and checking in to the thread, and most ...

Another very beautiful bookmark! I love the colours - so very much like a spring garden. Well done!

That is gorgeous! Well done, Serinde!

So, what is everyone doing while we wait? Any vacations planned? I got my foot cast off today, and have graduated to a boot cast. While this is progress, it feels like a step backwards - all that poking around my foot has made it quite sore. And as much as I would like to get some stitching done, my...

Well I pushed it to the last minute but I got my stitching packaged and in the mail to Poppy yesterday on my lunch break. :dance: Here's to praying :pray: it makes it to England in a safe and timely manner. Wow! I bet you feel great! :dance: :dance: :dance: Thanks for the update. We still have some...

Welcome back! What is the name of the pattern? Who markets it?

Sorry I waited until the absolute last minute Donna, but I have your stitch packaged and will send it off today on my lunch break! I had it ready Saturday but misremembered the post office's hours and didn't get there until after they closed. I hope you enjoy it! Also, on this project I finally mas...

These are all amazing!! Great stitching everyone!! :applesauce: All of the stitching has been lovely, and we are not done yet, so I hope you will check back again. Not too long ago I checked with everyone to see if they were on schedule for mailing by the 5th, and I was assured they were. Let's hop...

Whoo-hoo! time for you to celebrate!

Here is a picture of the lovely bookmark Serinde has received from lillybit:



Well done and beautifully finished, lillybit!

My we are doing well! So many sent and received - and all very beautiful - and we have not yet reached the mailing deadline. It would be great to get an update from those still needing to mail out. Thanks!

Welcome from Ontario, Canada! I, too, have purchased pattern and fabric for The Last Supper, but have realized it will be something completed in retirement (on the horizon for me). I would love to see the progress you are making on yours.

I was on line last weekend researching the details. Lucky you! I hope you have a wonderful time. Do you have family or friends to visit as well while in the UK?
