Goodness Mabel i have to say if someone had made that for me i would have cried it is exquisite, you are so talented xx

I love your quilt so far, the colours are lovely and go together so well, i have recently taken up quilting and find colour combinations are by far the hardest thing to decide upon, well done x

I just point blank refuse to do anything for money, my brother asked me once to do him the same thing as i was doing for my son, well first i do not like to do anything twice but secondly the thing for my son was supposed to be just for him if you see what i mean, but i said to my brother let me thi...

It was my daughters birthday yesterday she pointed this out to me

I totally sympathise Richard I had staples after my second c section and am afraid to say it never healed very well at all, when i was due my 3rd i told the doctor if he didn't stitch me up i would hit him when i came round, bless him he not only did a lovely job of it he cut away some of the rough ...

Thank you does not seem enough but sincerely THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH xxxxx

Oh Vanessa i had missed this before we lost the group for a while how glad i am to be able to finally see it, you are definitely my stitching hero your work is fabulous and it just shows what is possible if we put our heart into it, please would you be kind enough to share again when it is framed? m...

I had not realised how much i would miss my fellow stitchers till you were no longer here for me to catch up with, i admit i don't post as much as i ought but my stitchy bug has done a runner however i feel this group is a link to sanity :) i missed you all and had almost given up hope. Thank you so...

I was supposed to go see him but ended up in hospital having my son early, it was almost 10 years before i managed to actually see him, he was brilliant oh we laughed till we cried, I cried again when he passed away and i don't normally for "celebs", he bought so much joy to so many people...

Happy Forumversary Podolyanka, may you have many more years of wonderful stitching xx

Happy Forumversary Mabel, may you have many more years of happiness here

Vanessa that is amazing the way the light shines and lights up the surrounding areas, it is hard to tell it is stitching it is so realistic, thank you so much for sharing this project with us xx

I would be absolutely over the moon to receive this as a gift and i think it will be cherished by your daughter in law to be, it is a gorgeous pattern and the beads give it that extra pizzazz. I wish them well on their journey together through life xx

I stitch better to a deadline, it is ridiculous but in life generally i am a terrible procrastinator i put everything off till the last minute. what works for me is i allow 100 stitches per day I work out how many stitches in a project then divide by 100 if there are not enough days plus 2 weeks for...

Oh thank you ever so I do still stitch but it is taking pics i forget to do lol will soon have a finish to share x

I assumed it was to do with the facets on the little diamonds, the ones my daughter has done are a 4 sided pyramid plus base thus 5 dimensions. Just what my head told me nothing scientific in my assumption lol.

It happened to me on a large project i had used a whole skein of a colour and ran out so got my second one out and it was so different and of course I had worked a large area up and down so the difference really smacked you in the face, everyone i know who stitched sorted through stashes to try to f...

David Tennant?

I remember you and reading of your ill health before, has it really been so long? Glad to hear you are finally on the mend and i think wanting to start your hobby again is a great step, Welcome back xx

I always machine stitch mine, it takes a couple minutes at most and have never had any fraying problems, but i don't bother at all for small things like cards etc they don't take long enough for stuff to fray.
