Hello @ayrhaven. Love your ideas take some pics and put them on here.
i have gotten a lot of inspiration for things to break the boredom. I went back to the first page and read my way through along with Friday funnies thread

Awesome @ayrhaven - we have quite a few really good quilters on the forum ..... check out the previous pages for some of their designs!
Glad you found it as amazing as I did, @cranky_granny - I am still trying to work out how they did that 'invisible stitching' in the very first bit!! Grrrr Some very clever 'repair' methods there!

I checked out the video of the stitches - I've worked on Crewel embroidery since childhood and don't know them, I'm wondering if they are traditional Tailoring stitches. Anyway, very clever - wish I'd known about them 50yrs ago.

I thought that I would try my hand at knitting a teddy bear. The lady that makes the patterns sent out an email today offering 2 free teddy bear knitting patterns if anyone is interested. The website is http://www.knitables.com and the bears look like this :
I'm not sure why the photos are so big?
Also I have the dog pattern as well if anyone would like it xx5 -
Could somebody help me by giving me instructions on how to add photos. I am not very good with modern technology.0

Hi @ayrhaven. Above the square you type into there is a row of symbols. Tap/click the one on the far right.
I use my phone to access the forum, and I use my phone to take my photos. So I then tap on 'Choose Files' and it takes me to a menu where I choose 'Files'. Then I choose 'Images' and select a photo by tapping on it. Then I wait until it loads! K xox1 -

I've just read this whole thread and am so impressed with all of you! One of my workmates and I have talked before about how we aren't at all creative but are good with following instructions so cross stitch is one of the few "creative" activities we can do without getting super frustrated. We're also both committed feminists so when she was going through a rough time with family illness recently, I stitched her this.

Wow that’s fantastic! So clever, how long did it take and did you have a pattern or did you design it? Tinks xx1

Thanks @Tinks I think it took about 5 hours, hard to remember because I usually do them in fits and spurts (and who can remember anything post chemo?!). It was a kit so it came with the cloth, floss, needle and hoop (cost was about $25). There's a bunch of people selling kits like this in Australia (mostly on Etsy), or you can buy just the pattern for $3 to $5 and organise the cloth, floss and hoop yourself. I just bought a few patterns off Etsy and will be off to the local embroidery shop to get the rest.1
