Firstly, I realised that I hadn't placed any guidelines between the motifs. These have now been added in red. I have also added the border chart again with the new details - so please make sure you check this - a note about the guidlines is now included in the KEY & details. Take care when stitching the guidlines as the spacing varies a little between some of them.
It has been lovely seeing my first part stitched by many of...

It's really exciting to be starting another new project with you all. I hope you all read last week's details for the start with the chart for the border. My part series will 'run' over the next 9 weeks. Each Wednesday you will be able to download a free design to stitch in a few hours, so that eventually, we will have our Summer sampler completed. Each motif is quite suitable for a card design which some of you may...

Anther week, and trying times for all of us. I hope you have managed to keep going and keep safe and that the stitching is good therapy.
I had a enquiry from a grandma earlier in the week to ask if I had a suitable chart of a unicorn so that she could introduce cross stitch to her 9 year old granddaughter, who, like my ones of 6 and 9, love them! Thankfully she and my granddaughters approved of my design!
My...

Well folks, what a week! I just hope that you are all safe.
I don't quite know what to say, as stitching is such a therapy and I hope that if you have to stay at home, then stitching will be some comfort.
Over the past few weeks I have been adding new sections of my part series for you to work on and the response has been wonderful. It has been an absolute joy to see all of your pictures. Thank...

First, for those of you who requested and automatic transfer of my blog page to your emails, this has had to come to an end. I am sorry but, with the increase I was asked to pay for something I am giving as a free chart, wasn't acceptable. I hope you will all understand and keep logging on to me and taking part in whatever series comes up in the future.
Part 8 already! and now into March. All looking lovely...

Part 7 is now here and I hope you will enjoy this week's section.
