if thats ok with Liz,

Great link Veronica,i've added it to our tutorials section.

Oh my I'm blushing, thats great Liz,
Liz how many are actually doing this xstitch fun??

I really hope we have some none stitcher's and stitcher's that want to give this a go, it really is so easy and so much fun.

It's for whoever wants to join in.This is an easy pattern and it wont cost much to do.

So how is everyone doing?? nearly finished yet or haven't started
I nearly finished mine, I have been doing a little each day, just got one ear and the balloons and back stitch to do. I couldn't find all the correct colours so I am improvising.

Improvising is good Veronica,you can do whatever colours you like.I'm starting mine next week when hubby goes back to work.

Well done Veronica...can't wait to see your finished project...I'm hoping to start mine over the weekend!!

Hi everyone,

Here is my finished X-stitch mini challenge - I made a cute card ready for my partner Pauls mum.

Hope this is ok?



I had fun doing X-stitch again, I had quite forgotten how much I love it! you never know I may finish those other projects that have been left half done in the cupboard!

Abientot!

That is absolutely fantastic,well done Minnie.Pauls mum will love it.

that looks great Minnie, what a lovely gift,

I just got the back stitch to do on mine. like you I had forgotten how much I love it, and like you I am going to finish the others that need finishing.

Thank you V - the trouble is, if you are like me there are more unopened kits to start to follow the kits that need finishing!!!!!!!!

I once went to the NEC where they had 1000's of kits for sale and one guy selling them on a stall announced he would not sell to anyone who had unfinished kits in their cupboard! - like yeah right! guess his family would go hungry then? lol. - everyone laughed but a lot of ladies actually blushed! me included!

I love the back stitch the best, it's amazing how the stitching comes to life once it's done!

Well done to us all that's doing the mini challange! and thank you Liz for giving us the X-stitch itch again!

Abientot!
Minnie
