😱don’t let my missing out you off pandemic sampler 😂😂 to be fair the border is actually very enjoyable to stitch once you have learnt the pattern. I have enjoyed seeing your instagram posts recently, you have been out and about doing a lot. His is your blackbird designs quilt coming along? Looking forward to meeting In October 😃

Hi Kirsty, lovely to see another floss tube from you pop up. All of your stitching looks fantastic. You’ve got some amazing pieces on the go. I hear you on the 25 count being slow. I keep using it so that things don’t turn out so big but they take longer to stitch 🤣. Happy stitching 😊
@craftingkirsty2 жыл бұрын
Thank you 😊 that was my thinking with the 25ct particularly as I seem to own a lot of baps! But I just can’t do it 😖
@stitchysally2 жыл бұрын
@@craftingkirsty I think I might have to resort back to 40 count and accept that they will be a bit bigger! I’ll have to use what I’ve got though! Or just accept that they’re going to take longer 🤣

Yes yes yes WIP Parade!c I'm gearing up for Wonky Donkey - I thought I was sorted but the piece of fabric is too small, because it's so huge. I also enjoyed spying the camel horse on it's side behind you!
@craftingkirsty2 жыл бұрын
I wouldn’t get too overexcited about the wip parade, I do t actually have that many wips 😂 I have bought 35ct for Maria and it’s still huge ! Sadly the camel/horse will be there for a while, I get things finished, I get things fully finished but actually hanging them in the wall …. That takes about 2yrs 🙄

1x1 on 25ct was definitely a learning curve for me after years of 2x2 on 28 or 32ct. I stitch HAED's and usually use the 25ct as they would be just too big for me on the other fabrics. I totally love The Huntsman, it's wonderful.

56ct 😱😱😱😱😂 sadly I don’t think I could cope with that , I dislike using magnifiers ( they make me feel sick) I did briefly look for some 56ct fabric yesterday on the internet but it was few and far between and really expensive. I have ordered some 35ct and 40ct so 🤞 I get on with that.

Fab projects and lovely to catch up. I ❤️ your Huntsman and new scarlet letter purchase. Good luck on your Wonky Donk SAL I will enjoy watching the group progress. Re Dutch beauty - I love that pattern so much it’s an August planned start for me - totally understand that if you think you’re not going to enjoy it you need to change fabric - but if you think you might put it up for adoption / sale do let me know!! 😉

Good god I almost fell if my chair when I saw you had commented 😂😂 There are quite a few Scarlett letter charts in that style I love them. More than happy to send you my Dutch Beauty start… the fabric really wasn’t showing true though which would be my word of caution and I had to change one of the colours. DM me your address 😁

For goodness sake Woman, what are you doing waving your ‘Huntsman’ around in front of me saying “it’s a lot of block stitching and it’s DMC” (which looks fabulous by the way)? I’m going to have to get it now! I love that kind of full coverage stumpwork look. Might have to find a wonky donkey piece too, watching your Flosstube gives me terrible FOMO!🤦🏼♀️
