My New Cross Stitch Forum

Hi everyone

Just to let you all know I have opened my own little cross stitching forum.

I plan for it to only be a small group. A place for friends to meet up and have a natter and to enjoy our cross stitch.

If you would like to join, please feel free to head over to

http://threadnshare.yuku.com/

I'd love to see you there.

Newton's Law - UFO and a finished one

While looking through my stash I have come across 2 Newton's Law items I've stitched and started to stitch..lol.  I thought I'd share them with you.

Sadly this group is no longer going and I doubt it will ever get completed.

Here is a sampler that I did finish - below

Finished but not framed.

WIP - Frederick the Literate Page

I have just added a page dedicated to my WIP - Frederick the Literate.  If you want to see the photos I took while I stitched the project have a look at the link below.

WIP - Frederick the Literate

Happy New Year

I would like to wish anybody that is passing a Happy New Year.  If you have had a bad 2011 like me...lol...I'm hoping 2012 is so much better.

I have managed to do an hours stitching so I'm pleased.

I think I'm going to try doing a test stitch in preparation for starting my HAED project, to see whether I'm going to stitch 1 over 1 or 2 over 1 on 27ct evenweave.

I thought I would take a picture of my WIP Frederick the Literate.  I may add them to a page of their own so you can easily see the design grow.


Here is another one, I just could not resist...lol...you will see my Bengal cat Freya asleep underneath...sweet.


So it's a Happy New Year and Happy Stitching.

WIP - Summer Elegance by Elizabeth de Lisle

Now this is one of the UFO that I found in the cupboard today.  I started it back in 2003, it was part of a big SAL with a group called UKCSF on yahoo.  Sadly I lost my mojo and never really stitched again  until now...lol.

Here is what I have done so far


Below is what it should look like when finished, it's huge...lol


Now the big question is, can I complete it!!!!!

No Stitching Today - Started a new group

Well I've not managed any stitching today because I started a new group forum for avid cross stitchers.

If anybody would like to join then please pop along to Stitching Friends UK

If you are not a member at Craftbubble then you will have to register there first.

I have started to get my mojo back for stitching again....yeah....I've dug 4 boxes out of the cupboard of all my cross stitch stash and UFO, that now are going to be WIP (Work in progress) I hope...lol.
