Glad to hear that. I generally stay away from the Michael's near me since they are not very good at maintaining cross stitch supplies. We have a few craft shops that are better, but no LNS which I really miss.

Roland, your fabrics are nice. I really like stitching on Fiddler’s Cloth. I find it adds just enough interest to a design without detracting like some fabrics do.

Serine, nice haul, especially those dragons!!!

Richard, as usual, your story was entertaining. I can just picture the poor goat being pulled out the dog flap.

I was at my Saturday craft class last week and one of the members, Sue, was giving this away as she was never going to use it. It's 22 x 124 inches long and 28 count in a nice off white/beige colour. I gave her £10 for her it as it's such a lot of fabric and she will donate the money to a charity she's part of. (The photo shows it turned over in half it's so long!).

[Mabel Figworthy]

That will keep you going for a while! Great bargain.

[Serinde]

That will keep you going for a while! Great bargain.

What luck!

[Roland]

How lucky.

[Steam.Jo]

That was a good buy

Jo

[rcperryls]

I agree with everyone else. Great buy!

I've been having an awful week (5 1/2 hours on the phone to my pension company and still it is not been paid ) and when I saw this (I had already spotted it on Very Crafty for £25) one second hand so I had to have it:



Yes it is another Bothy Thread one, one of the bigger ones and someone had it for £19 on Fleabay so I was thinking it would make a nice cushion front

Those Bothy designs are so cute [a word I hate using, but it's the best word for this case].

And for that price, who can complain? Really good snag.

Regards,

Richard

[Nicola Main]

Awww what a great find Jo! I can't wait to see your progress xxx

[rcperryls]

I agree. Some things are too good to pass by and this looks like a delightful piece to stitch! I have yet to see a Bothy design not worth stitching.

I love that one. I’ve watched someone on the Bothy Facebook group work on it and it’s even more beautiful “in person” (as usual).

[Mabel Figworthy]

The Alison Cole book I picked up at the textile Group meeting - spending part of my pay immediately

[rcperryls]

Can't wait to see what projects you pick from there, or what techniques you choose to create one of you own marvels.

Carole

[Mabel Figworthy]

For the moment I just got it to read and enjoy, Carole, but who knows!

[Serinde]

Wonderful! Lots of ideas and inspirations.

I am working on 2 pictures, and I ordered all the threads I was low on before starting. But I kept finding there were some I have none of, and some I’m low on. I made a list to pick up, and it was huge.

Then, found a bag with all this brand new thread in it. At least I found it before going to the store.

I did still need 7 colours, but none immediately, so I ordered on line and included another Kreinik blending filament.
