Thank you both for the replies to my query, it was for putting things on out of the oven so i do not think i will risk it after all

Beautiful designs as ever Mabel, I love how you don't restrict yourself to one type of stitching and on that note i'm really looking forward to joining the next SAL to learn a bit more diversity myself. :) Can I ask about the trivets I did go on sew and so as they might be just what I am after and t...

Maybe if you were to do a selection of works yourself ranging from fairly simple through a bit tougher to pretty tricky right up to the honeymoon picture, then people would be able to visualise the fact that you can start simple and work up to it, also some people might feel they can't cope with so ...

His designs are not my thing, but i am so glad that someone is championing this delightful hobby in a way that appeals to the next generation and men!

Richard is there any white fabric showing on the back of your piece as if there is i would suggest a tiny test with a marker pen there to see if it looks obviously coloured in, if it seems ok once dry i would wash and press the stitching (you did say you finished it i think) then use a marker pen on...

She is just stunning Frank, such lovely stitching

hope it helps

I just sit in awe of your wonderful work, i have no idea how you do it so fast, so beautifully, and if i recall in hand too.
It is coming along wonderfully and unlike my big one i think i may live long enough to see it completed

Ahhh brilliant that was what i was hoping to find but missed it before lol
Thank You again Serinde, I am definitely going to do it now i can find the wools my grandson will be chuffed

I would not be happy with that but as long as you have more than enough unworked area to allow for framing/finishing it wont really matter, however if its going to leave a tiny margin at the edges i would be inclined to get in touch with the manufacturers and ask them to change it.

Serinde thank you so much although they do not have a conversion as such i was able do download the colour cards for both the ordinary thread and the tapestry wool so by looking up the number of the thread i can then see which wool is the best match without having to leave the house! marvellous than...

Can anyone help me at all, I would love to do a cross stitch for my grandson but have it in mind to do it on 6 count binca but using tapestry wool instead of stranded cotton but for the life of me i can not find a conversion. Does anyone know if there is a way to convert DMC stranded cotton (which i...

Thank you Carole and Mabel for the birthday wishes, i do pop in from time to time but my stitching is a bit hit and miss lately as i have been hit hard with the urge to knit! one cardigan down and a second on the needles,

Lovely update and wonderfully stitched :) I have recently seen the one called Red Velvet Cake and am trying to talk my daughter into doing it as it would look so right in her living room with the colouring of it, they are all yummy looking lol http://glendonplace.net/shop/catalog/red-velvet-cake/&qu...

Lovely designs and a very interesting and thought provoking project, its nice they are different to each other and while i prefer larger projects in the main smaller motifs are great for when you want to do something such as a birthday card the cup of coffee could be used for many people with a few ...

My flabber is truly gasted! what an amazing job you have done with it, the framing compliments it wonderfully.

I love what you have done with this Rose, the plane is just darling

Hi, it looks to me as though you stitched the bigger part of the bird from side to side and then for the top part of the wing you went up and down on the fabric, i had the exact same thing happen on something i did a long while ago and although no one else seems to see it i still feel it jumps out a...

Here it is at last lol
