Guest Stitcher Giftie

I recently took part as a Guest Stitcher, reviewing some charts in Cross Stitcher (I just hope no-one saw my photo in the mag, as its the most awful picture of me I have EVER seen - even though I sent through an "acceptable" photo to them to use!) - it was taken when San and I were at Stitch '06 and if I remember it had been raining, so I looked completely bedraggled AND no makeup - OMG a girlie's worst nightmare.

Anyway, enough of my vanity, beauty is but skin-deep :-) So, as a thank you, they send a £15 voucher to spend on the Superstitcher website. I have been completely undecided what to buy ... should I get some DMC threads (no, I have lots of them) or should I choose a kit (well, I have lots of them, but hey since when has that stopped us Stitchers? Big decisions, huh?


In the end, I have decided to go for a really cute Margaret Sherry design - its called The Hen Night and it does make me chuckle when I see it - aren't her characters just gorgeous? Not too sure when I will be able to stitch it, but its going in my Stash Collection as a future make! In fact, I have the chart for the Hens doing their knitting from a previous XS magazine, so it could make up the set :-)

Bye for now, Stitchy-Girls!

Thanks for the title. I'm going to see if I can order it at the library today.
As for the hens - I hoped we might be the two on the left - they look so comfortable on the bar stools!! Did have us pegged the other way around though as you're the one with the green fingers and deserve the lovely flower. Also that means that you are being kind enough to carry a big bag that also contains my wallet & glasses. That way I can be purse free which is great. Do you mind?

Hi Ali
That's a really cute kit you chose! I agree that Margaret Sherry does some gorgeous characters. What issue of Cross Stitcher are you in, so I can look out for it? I will do my best to locate you a copy of the JCS Xmas Ornament magazine. Will keep you updated!

Ali,

I found your blogs via google when I was searching for Moira Blackburn's website. I read you had posted the address but I can't seem to find it. I'm over here in the U.S. and am having a hard time finding her kit for The Prayer. The suppliers over here say she is going to be selling them from her own site soon but no one will tell me how to contact the company.. can you help me? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Great site by the way!

Kind regards,

Janice at jetbagger@aol.com
