I have done 2 afghans now (tho not C&C) and I finished both mine differently. The first I just stripped the threads down to the border, it waas about 6cm I'd say, and the other I encapsulated the frayed ends inside 5cm ribbon front and back. There's a few photo's of finished afghans in the SAL s...

Uppity. My grandma used to use it a lot especially when describing someone "getting all uppity on their high horse"!!

Harp

Lincraft.... Spotlight... *sigh* I do miss them both soooo much now I live here in England, I hve to completely rely on internet now. So pleased you managed to get such a good bargin!

Oooh this looks like it will be a treat to follow!

Congratulations on both your finish and your win! Completely agree with you about the weather... very yuk! At least it's cooler this morning nd I for one am much happier!

Oooh! I got shivers looking at all those delicious colours, especially against the black... oooh, sooo nice! I am loving keeping up with your progress on this, it is so beautiful. Well done!

Wow, this is really taking shape now the main branch is done, can't wait to see all the blossoms appear!

:drool: My sister would absolutely fall head over heels in love with your fractls... she is obsessed. This may be the thing to get her into stitching, and she is only a stones throw away from you in Toowoomba. You are stitching so fast, especially as it's on 25ct *shudders* no wonder you caan't leav...

Oh no! That must be so frustrating for you, not to mention painful, hope it goes way quickly. Can't believe how much stitching you have done since I've been offline! It is looking so good!

I use a Mighty Bright clip on lamp, I protect the fabric with some muslin round the clip though. Me too, I recently upgraded my single bulb Mighty Bright I've had for 4 years now to the double bulb Mighty Bright Light, as I was getting fed up of buying AAA batteries all the time. This new one is pu...

I use a frame, or a hoop, so I never do anything to my edges, I do leave bout 5cm between stitching and the edge though so if by any chance I do get a few loose bits it doesn't make any difference. The pva glue is a good idea though!

:shock: Goodness, what a nuisance! I have to say I was completely stumped by your question s I've never haad this problem as yet. Just goes to show how brilliant this forum is to be part of, that is one valuable piece of treasure to keep in my stitching chest for future reference. I'm so happy that ...

Have spent ages looking through this thread to see new, and old, no, not old, well known faces! I'm at my mum and laws at the moment catching up on a pile of sewing so havn't got any photo's except what I pinched off my facebook. None of them are particularly recent, most recent is about a year old....

Absolutely no prolem!! Pleased it arrived, I'm sorry it took so long for me to post it off to you, I blame the weather!!

:applesauce: :applesauce: :wub: Pattern arrived today! Thank you, thank you, thank you Mabel. DH is going into town for me either Wednesday or Thursday, so will post off your biscornu then. CF and Threadbear I hadn't thought of doing that, I had already chucked it, but only in my recycling box, so h...

Veeery nice!!

Oooh, I'll have to show DH this, we both love birds! Can see why you decided to start with the Red one, is that a Cardinal? Very nice!!

I love leopards, not just because of their colouring, but I really like thier... what? personality?? oh, I don't know, just really like them, Leopards and meerkats have to be my most favourite African animals, looking forward to your updates.

I love seeing other peoples work, I normally would not have looked at this pattern if I'd seen it, but it really is quite stunning, the colours and everything, looks just like a painting. Big well done, you're really storming throught it too!! Can't wait to see finished peice. What HAED have you got...
