I adore Paine Free Crafts! Feast is looking really good! My six year old poodle has done the same, though not somewhere dangerous! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 he hates the rain but he’s a time or two just sat down until we start to go home!!!! 😂
Great news about your new house, sounds idyllic! As for stitching in hand, as long as you wash your hands before stitching, you’ll be fine. If worried still, after finishing just give your piece a rinse in tepid water with some Vanish Oxy and Fairy liquid and all will be fine. I stitch using the sewing method and bunch my fabric diagonally from the left (you do it vertically). As for frogging etc, it’s a personal choice really, you can do either. Sampler pieces usually contain mistakes so yours wouldn’t be out of place. The only thing would be to bear in mind not to use the extra stitches you’ve added, to count from (unless, of course p, you’d need to so that the design fits). Enjoy your furniture buying and I’ll see you at the September Essex Needles retreat x
Thanks for the advice, much appreciated. See you in September 😊
Well the house sounds just lovely Elaine - very pleased for you!
Thanks Alison 😊
Your new home sounds lovely. It's good to have a dedicated stitching area. On your sampler new start, I think I'd restitch the error part since you are not that far into it yet, and it may make it harder to do the inner parts further on. The other question about stitching in hand...I fold my extra linen like you do but then a take a strip of regular fabric, fold it in half, slip it over the extra linen and baste it to the folded part so it covers the front and back. I change it out when it gets a little dirty looking. You could use clips to hold it on with, but I find them clunky. I hope this helps. You have beautiful wips. That afghan is big but it is going to be stunning with all those Fall colors. Happy stitching!❤
Thanks so much for the advise, I really appreciate it 😊 looking forward to filming my new stitching room for you all 🪡🪡🧵🧵
So pleased for you regarding the house!!!! x thanks for another enjoyable video xx
Thanks for watching 😊take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Congratulations on your new home!! Can't wait to see the pictures. Love your videos!!
Thank you so much!! Take care 😊
Congratulations on your new house!! So exciting!!
Thanks Denise xx
Its been a while but wow, cheese delivery is nearly done! Looks great.
I think I'd have to frog that piece that you're doing in hand. It would bother me.
Happy for you that you found your dream home. 🙂
Congratulations on the house! That's exciting news! For Rejoice Evermore I would probably leave it if it didn't mess up anything else. If you can get the flowers into that border without a problem and get the straight line border in without a problem than count from that. Unless it's going to make you unhappy. If it's going to bother you frog it.
Thanks so much! It bugged me to much so I had to frog it in the end. Take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Hi Elaine. I always frog as soon as I see it. It gets rid of the problem straight away while I feel annoyed with myself then when I bring it back out I feel better about it. Those notebooks are fabulous. Another purchase I think. 🤔😄 Fantastic news on yr new 🏠. Take care. Xx
Yes I did frog it! It was bugging me too much! Take care 🧵🧵🪡🪡
I don't think your border will be noticeable when done. Bear it in mind when lining up your inside motifs . Leave it as is. Old samplers have huge errors in them and nobody worries about that. I wash my hands regularly, everytime i make a cuppa or go to loo before stitching, it does stay pretty clean. Thanks for the mention was great to meet you too.
Hi Elaine, how’s that gorgeous long dog coming along? I have been careful to make sure I regularly wash my hands to hold the fabric. Seems to be ok so far! Take care 🧵🧵🪡🪡
What a great video Elaine. So happy for you that you have found your home 😊 Chickens are great, have kept them in the past, hopefully get some in the future, great little characters..😍
Stitching, great progress, you can really see it in your wips and lovely cow pile finish. I have yet to start my piles! Also, weird coincidence, I ordered pumpkin house and harvest house from 123stitch during the week 😂 I was longing for autumn, summer doesn't work for me 😂
On the Rejoice border, I think I would frog it if its gonna interfere with the strawberries, but maybe you can fudge it. I'm doing that one, and my border strawberries have an extra stitch in them all 😆
Looking forward to starting the winter abc with you, have it all ready to go.
Cant wait for your wip parade, hope its a long one 😆
Thanks Alli. I have started winter ABC’s today, I will post an IG pic, if I remember!! Ohh maybe we can start those houses at some point as well!!! Take care ❤️🧵🧵🪡🪡
Hi Elaine, nice to visit with you today. I would have to frog everything back to the mistake. I'd be thinking about it at night while I'm trying to sleep. I'm making a Bucilla Christmas Sampler Lap Afghan at the moment. I'm at the hand quilting part now! I have a lot of hand quilting left but I try to get a few minutes each day to make a little progress. I'll post a progress pic of Magik Forest soon.
Hi Sue, I did frog it, the error would play on my mind to much. Look forward to seeing Magik Forest soon 😊 take care 🧵🧵🪡🪡
Great update..congrats on the new house. As for that border, I would just fudge it and keep going. I dont frog unless I absolutely have to. Progress , not, regress is my thinking:)
Thank you for the advice, I did in the end frog it. I just figured it would play on my mind too much! Take dare 🧵🧵🪡🪡
I am so happy for you and your husband that you’ve found the perfect house for you both. Exciting times ahead. Lovely that you will have some chickens and lots of space. You’ve made some lovely progress on your stitching. Your Pink House is looking so pretty. If you can make the border work on your new start and get all the rest of it to fit OK I would leave it but at the end of the day it’s whether you can live with it or not. I would hate to have to take all that out! Can’t wait to see what you’ve got coming from 123 Stitch. My order should be here soon as it’s in the U.K. I’m happy to do another SAL once Pink House is done. Loved seeing all your haul. Take care. Happy stitching 😊
Hi Sally, I couldn’t live with it and the frog paid a visit 😂 I’ve re stitched it and I’m happy now. Looking forward to doing Teresa Kogut with you, my chart is somewhere in uk apparently!! Take dare and happy stitching lovely ❤️🪡🪡🧵🧵
Congrats on buying a house. So excited for you. Wonderful video as always. Looking forward to a wip parade. I would not be able to carry on with the boarder. But that is me. Can't wait to see what you decide to do. Happy stitching.
Thanks so much and yes I frogged it 😊take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Thank you for a great episode. Regarding your border I would definitely unstitch it and really stitch it. I think it will throw every thing out and I couldn't live with it. Looking forward to your WIP parade
I did end up frogging 😊 thanks so much for watching 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Hi Elaine, just got to your frogging dilemma and wanted to pop on and say I would leave it as it is, as you stitch the rest of the design you will find the error and if at that point you want to frog, then just frog that small area (which hopefully is just a little section). Off to watch the rest of the video 😃 When I stitiched in hand the L&L wedding years (and years...) ago I use to roll up the fabric so was holding the back of the fabric in my left hand and maybe hold a pillowcase or piece of fabric over the piece you are holding to help protect the fabric too.
If you leave the border error in, add a post-it note or something to your pattern marking EXACTLY where the error is.
This will stop you coming to stitch that area in a few months and completely forgetting where it is and messing up the inside! Xx
I had to frog it Zoe, it would have driven me nuts I think to leave it 😊 hope you are keeping well. See you in September 😊 xx
Commenting half way through! I would stitch the strawberries, 1 in the ‘wrong ‘ section and then 1 either side of that section. If the strawberry fits and doesn’t obviously stand out from the others then crack on but … start all the sections from left to right so you don’t have to worry about placement.
Thanks Kirsty ❤
Congrats on the house, very exciting! I think if I were you, I'd restitch it, better safe than sorry!
Yes I did frog it 😊
congratulations on your new home purchase. hope you don’t have to wait till winter though. i think I’d frog, i used to stitch in hand, i think i used to just keep washing my hands or have a towel close by to dry my hands, if they got sweaty. LOL. beautiful projects thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching 😊
Fantastic news on your new house, so exciting. Was talking to my husband about it and he said he'd have the building for his bikes and I could have the summer house 😂 Love how your pink house is coming along, seems to be growing so fast now. Great stash, I've now got Hive Rules as daughter wants it stitching for her, no idea when I'll start it though. I stitch a lot of samplers in hand and tend to roll my fabric up from the bottom to where I'm working and I wash my hands - a lot! - sometimes i'll have a small piece of cloth that i put onto the roll to hold the fabric in very hot weather so that stops my hands sweating into the stitching fabric but most of the time I just go to the cold tap, that way it stretches my legs/back at the same time.
Thanks for your lovely comment 😊 I’m thinking of having the building and the summer house for stitching 😂😂😂 there is another shed my husband can have for his fishing gear. I’m going to try rolling up from the bottom I think! Take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Brilliant news on the house xxx
Thanks 😊
Congratulations on your new house. It sounds wonderful. As to the border and frogging I think if it were my piece, I would probably frog it because I would forget I made an error and get all messed up counting from it.
Thanks so much for your comment! I did end up frogging the border it would have bugged me too much! Take care and happy stitching 🧵🧵🪡🪡
Hi! I really like your stacked Cow finish. I was thinking perhaps a very small blk & white checkered material might look very country and tie in with the covers on the cows!🤔 something possibly to “check” out ! Your Cheese Shop is coming along very nicely! I love this chart. I like The Garden Gate chart very much also. I really like the Pumpkin House and the Harvest House. I really enjoyed your video today. Have a great stitching week ahead! 👏🏻🧑🏻🦰🇨🇦
Now a black and white fabric sounds a great idea and I’m going to check that out, so thank you very much ❤️ glad you enjoyed the video. Take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
I would stitch the inner border and see how you like it before you frog. Unless it is something that will always bother you. I like my "enhancements ". It makes the piece a one of a kind.
Enhancements, now that’s a great way of putting it 😂😂😂
So Excited for you Elaine! That was really fast lol. Loving your massive haul- those autumn charts are shouting out to me. I'm looking forward to watching your WIP parade, but I need a spare 90 mins... :)
P.s. Gizmo says hi!
A big hug from me to Gizmo 😍 I know the shopping was rather a lot this time 🤦♀️ take care lovely ❤️
Love your Finish
Love all of your WIPS - I miss seeing the Toy Shop though.
Take Care & Happy Stitching
❤️🤗🧵🪡🧵❤️
Thanks Linda. I’m not stitching the toy shop though? I wonder if you might be thinking of Sharon at Fun With Cross stitch? I know she is stitching that one. Take care 🧵🧵🪡🪡
@@elliewelliestitcher - Yes she is the one that I was thinking of for the Toy Shop. Sorry about that. ❤️
Hi, I was at the Wrexham retreat and also bought an Afghan from the Nimble Thimble!
A different pattern to you though, hope to join you in the SAL
Oh definitely join the Sal 😊 did you get the other Afghan one that Chris had on the wall? I thought that was gorgeous too!! I can’t wait to start now!! Did I meet you at Wrexham? I did meet several people but I seemed to be out shopping more than socialising or stitching at this retreat 🤦♀️
@@elliewelliestitcher hi, it was a different pattern again, it was of a more ‘British’ garden scene.. and the Afghan didn’t have the red around the squares.
We did talk briefly, I had finished the Raccoon Rabble stack at the retreat… and I stayed up the night we were regaled with sex stories 😂😂🤣
Congratulations on the house Elaine! I know exactly what you mean about just walking into a house and knowing that it's your house. I did that with my one. I walked out wondering how I was going to afford it! 😂 😂
Lovely to see your projects and haul. I looked up the Morland series, there's over 30 books, but I reckon I might have to do them. Which one are you on now? Jo x
That's fabulous about the house, Elaine! Looking forward to seeing photos. As long as you can center that inner border - it would have to be pushed in 1/2 stitch on the sides you adjusted, right? Since you added one extra stitch in total? - then I wouldn't bother frogging. But it's what would or wouldn't bother you that counts.
It did bother me Steph so I ended up frogging it!! Looking forward to sharing pictures with you guys. Take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
I would leave it and do the inner border correctly. Once you have the flowers around you won’t notice I don’t think. If it was more than one stitch out I might frog it.
I couldn’t leave it in the end it played on my mind too much!
Great video as always I would stitch the inner border and go off that one congratulations on the house. I stitch in hand on a few I roll up from the bottom and put a clamp on it I haven't had any problems with sweat marks on the fabric hope that helps
Thanks Sharon, I do like to roll up the fabric, so far I don’t seem to have marked it. 😊take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Skipped straight to the end Elaine. It was meant to be. Congratulations 🎉My heart was beating hard as you were talking about the chickens and the space. ❤️. I' ll go back and start watching the video now lol . Much love x
I would just frog it. It won't take long. In my opinion, fudging just makes the whole project feel uncomfortable. Frogging doesn't take long, really, and you will enjoy your project so much more.
I love stitching in hand. I have never had any problems with soiled fabric, but I always wash my piece carefully when my work is complete. If you are worried, however, at any stage it can be washed just so long as thhreads and fabric are colourfast. Have fun with it. ❤
Yes I did frog it in the end 😊 I can’t wash that particular sampler as the floss is not colourfast. So far I’ve kept it clean 😊 take care 🪡🪡🧵
run with the adjusted border xx
I will frog it… it will bother you …also you may not remember later where was the mistake and you may add more issue on it…. So happy for your new house 🏡, can’t wait to see some pictures…. All the best … take care Elaine…. 👋❤️😘
Thanks Isabelle, I did frog it xx take care and see you in September ❤️🪡🪡🧵🧵
I would frog it as it would always bother me that the border was slightly wrong.
Yep I did frog it 😊
I would frog it since you discovered it so early. It would be different if you were further down the road.
And I did frog it 😊 take care 🧵🧵🪡🪡
Hello Elaine! I just wanted to thank you again for your wonderful videos and inspiration! It takes me a while to get through a video since I am constantly popping over to 123 Stitch to check out the patterns you show (I added the Strawberry House to my wish list)! It's been a while now... since last Fall, but I first commented on one of your videos after I happened upon it and was completely amazed by your work, especially Cheese Delivery. I was a journal maker, not a stitcher, but you replied that you hoped I would find my stitchy bug. I thought that was so sweet of you but knew it would never happen! So... of course I started stitching soon after and haven't stopped! I have been focusing on smaller projects for now because I have had so much going on, but see something larger on the horizon 😊 I turned 60 last month and have seen so many stitchers start something to celebrate their 60th, but the ideas were all too grand for me. I finally settled on the Keeper of The Pins patterns by Brenda Gervais... 6 patterns for 60 years... and... I ordered my first 2 pieces of linen! I have been using 28 or 32 evenweave/lugana. My package from 123 Stitch arrived today with all of the called for threads and I put my first stitches into linen. My soul rejoiced! 😂 There's no turning back and I will be buying linen for the larger project I have in mind. You can give yourself a pat on the back for being a great enabler! One day I hope to own a needle minder and a project bag as well😉. I love the fact that I have been able to watch your progress on Cheese Delivery and everything else for several months now. I do watch all of your videos. Congrats on finding a new home. It sounds lovely! A bigger home with more walls to fill ☺️ Take care Elaine and happy stitching! Oh... to keep your hands clean, you could always use hand sanitizer, then a damp cloth and then dry them. It's just an idea, but I'm new so...
Laurel from B.C. Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Laurel, yes, I remember you saying you weren’t really a stitcher but into journals. Well look at you finding your stitchy bug, that’s fantastic!!! Once I discovered linen there was no going back for me too Aida, although stitching the Afghan is going to be interesting I think!! Congratulations on your 60th and I think keeper of the pins is a great booklet, but anything by Brenda gervais is fantastic in my opinion. I will be 60 as well later in the year, not sure what I want to stitch for it yet!! Anyway, thanks so much for your fabulous newsy comment, I really appreciate it xx take care and happy stitching ❤️🧵🧵🧵🪡
It was lovely to meet you at Wrexham. I’m so pleased you have found such a lovely house. Chickens that certainly is a new adventure.
More rooms more walls to fill with stitching
Hi Rachel, really nice to meet you too. My thoughts exactly, I will have loads of room for stitching!! Take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
I would stitch the inner border correctly and use that to count off when stitching the motifs. Then if the outer border doesn’t look out of place next to the inner border you can keep it. If it screams ‘error’ you can frog it at your leisure whilst stitching the middle motifs 🙂. So pleased about your house! Our dogs got used to the hens 😊
Hi Sue, I’m not sure my dogs would get used to the chickens but fortunately they have their own fenced off area so it shouldn’t be a problem!! What you are suggesting with the border was what I thought to do but in the end I decided to frog it. Take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
omgoodness how EXCITING!!!!!!! so stressful looking at houses, but also so much fun. how fun. ALSO LOVE YOUR HAIR!!! and all your WIPS of course. 💕💜
Thanks Kayli ❤
It was lovely to meet you at Wrexham and I'm so excited for you with your recent house purchase! We used to keep chickens when I was little and I have very happy memories of feeding them, and the delicious eggs they laid.
I would definitely fudge not frog.
Looking forward to your WIP parade!
Hi Justine, how’s your long dog coming along? I did end up frogging it I just couldn’t have it bothering me 🤦♀️
Hi Elaine. Thanks for your time in this fun visit and YAY, a WIP parade for the next visit. 👏👏
I would say don't frog it. Since there is an inner border, everything else you count will work out. It's not going to be noticed.
So much fun stuff and pretty stitching but CONGRATS on finding your house. So very exciting. All the best wishes for a smooth, safe move.
Thanks so much 😊 take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
I went to the end to find out abourt your house!! So happy for you and your husband - I felt the same way when I walked into my present house. Isn't it amazing how upi just know it is meant for you. Looks like you will have plenty of room for stitching. You will have lots of walls to hand your finishes. Best wishes on your new home.
Thank you so much. I wonder why we automatically know, fate isn’t it I guess!! I have a lot of stitching space, looking forward to showing everyone . Take care 🧵🧵🪡🪡
Fabulous finish and stitching on all your projects. The two shops sound wonderful and i saw footage showing the beautiful countryside on Teresas video. I love stitching in hand and i stab loo. One of the small bottles of hand sanitizer is really handy to keep hands cool and clean. Have a great time on holiday. Looking forward to your wip parade. Take care and stay safe x
I’m really enjoying stitching in hand, I don’t think for everything but for some reason I like it with that wip. The countryside where the needlework shops are is absolutely gorgeous. Take care lovely ❤️🧵🧵🧵🪡🪡
Congratulations on your new home - can’t wait to see photos, so exciting❣️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks 😊
Congratulations, Elaine, I'm so very happy for you and your new house! I hope you will still visit the Essex stitchy days though as I loved seeing you there! ❤
If the strawberry fits and it's not too obvious, you could leave it in. A lot of samplers have errors in them and it adds personality to them so I would't worry too much. But of course it depends how much it would bother you in the end.
I quite like stitching in hand but I'm having exactly the same problem as you in the hot weather. I generally only stitch in hand on projects I can wash afterwards or if the weather is cold and my hands are not sweaty. Having a small towel to dry your hand or even help hold your folded up fabric can be helpful too.
Hi Natalia, thanks for the advice regarding stitching in hand, I think I will only stitch like that on a few projects, I still like my q snaps!! I did frog in the end on the sampler. With the Essex Needles Retreat days, yes I will still be there as I organise them with Teresa, so I wouldn’t leave her to do it all herself, so definitely you will see me in November. Take care ❤️🪡🪡🧵🧵
Great news about the house can’t wait to meet the chickens and the rooster 😂 have a great week and happy stitching 🧵
😂😂😂I will defo film the chickens!! Happy stitching 🪡🪡🧵🧵
I’d have to frog, because I’d worry that the inner square border might also end up out and then its all on for young and old. And congrats on the house! How exciting!!!! Can’t wait to hear more about it - take care, Nic x
Hi Nic, yes it got a visit from the frog!! Take care xxx
I am so excited for your new home purchase! What a relief for you and your husband :)
Always excited to see a video from you and see your progress, I am excited for your WIP parade and for your full coverage July plans
Thanks so much xx can’t wait to see which project you decided to stitch? I’m still hoping for warming up!!
Congrats on finding a new house!!
I would stitch the inner border correctly and use that to fit in the motifs.
Thanks for a lovely video!
Thanks for watching 😊
Congrats on your new house :) you always know when it's the right one. I wouldn't frog your border, just carry on, no-one will notice.
Thanks Anita 😊
Congratulations on your house purchase 👏👏👏how exciting 🥳🥳🥳
Thanks 😊
Congratulations on your new home purchase!!
Thanks Kim 😊
Nice to catch up with you Elaine. And thanks for the enabling!!!! I've just bought Pink House Sampler and Strawberry House🤣🤣🤣
Always happy to provide some enabling 😂😂😂
I would definitely not frog it! Especially with the straight inner border to count off of, I don’t see any reason to frog. I stitch in hand and I wash my projects when I’m done with them.
Thank you for your advise 😊take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Great to see you again Elaine .Brilliant progress as always 😊 your house sounds so exciting it will come around really fast I’m sure be great to see the chickens 😊 just got back from America and hubbies mum has chickens ❤ fresh eggs everyday just gorgeous.I think maybe go with your instinct on the frogging and possible do the inner border before you decide I couldn’t tell it was wrong but if it bothers you now it will later xx
Hi Rosa, I hope you had a lovely time in the states. Where did you go? Did you bring back any stitchy stuff? I’m really looking forward to keeping chickens, I’ve always wanted too. Take care 🧵🧵🪡🪡
@@elliewelliestitcher we went to North Carolina for father in laws funeral but we still had great days I was lucky enough to go to Annabelle’s shop in wainsville and spent far to much 🫣😂 but I got some nice patterns and more floss I’m about to go watch your wip parade 🙂 just saw it pop up 😘xx
Oh Rosa, sorry to hear your visit to the states was a sad one, so sorry for your loss. Take care xx
Hi Elaine! I am so anxious for your life update and here all about your house sale. Congrats on another finish despite everything you have going on. So nice to see wing color on Blackberry Dragon! How thrilling that you have reached the bottom on Cheese Delivery! Wow, you really have done a lot of stitching in the last month. I am so happy that you found your new home, sounds perfect for you. If you sell a house here in the States, the usual clause is that you only have 30 days to evacuate so you are lucky there. I hope the sellers of your new home find a place as quickly as you did. I am sure you would really like to be settled before the holidays. Moving in December is the pits. I am so excited for you that I am having a hard time finding words. I swear my grandson has gained another 20 IQ points in the last couple of weeks. He went from barely stringing 2 words together to 3-4 word sentences that actually make sense and are correct, and can name most colors correctly. Hope everything goes smoothly. Happy stitching. Looking forward to your mid-year WIP parade.
Hi Dawn, I was a bit confused that you came up as sunrise, then I realised with your lovely newsy catch up, it could only be my friend Dawn xxx I’m hopeful we will move about October time all being well. Sounds like Walter is growing up fast!!! How are you doing now? Take care lovely xx❤️🪡🪡🧵🧵
@@elliewelliestitcher Was doing pretty good until I mis-stepped on a curb. After 2 weeks finally got a referral to the ortho and I broke the 3rd and 4th bones between the toes and the ankle on my left foot so now I am in a boot for at least the next 3 weeks, basically the same type of bones that I broke in my hand earlier. Did it the day after I turned 66. This is not the way I want to spend my old age. I don't know why it switched my name, strange!
Congrats on the new house!
Thanks Debbie ❤
I would leave it. X
hi Elaine , i think you will have to frog back to the mistake hard as its going to be or it will drive you nuts you will forever be looking at it otherwise, congrats on the house and hope everything works out for you, .
Thanks Annette 😊 yes I did frog it 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Hi ellie just found your video s
What a surprise to hear you bought a house on anglesey as i lived there for40 yrs and even worked in the water mill which im guessing is the same one because not many with water wheel intact i love all your stitching and hope you will be very happy in your new home
Thanks so much for watching and a very warm welcome to my channel 😊 do you still live in wales? Take care and I hope you will pop over to my channel again 🪡🪡🧵🧵
You don’t notice but me being me would have to frog it because it would bug me to much.
Yep Sheryl the frog happened 🤦♀️
Is everything on the stitch-in-hand piece colorfast? If so, you can wash it. If not, I would not stitch in hand.
Thank you for the advice 😊
Congratulations. I would frog, it would annoy me too much.
Yes it did annoy me so the frog did pay a visit 😊
think u can pull it off,dont think its noticeable xx
I wouldn't frog .You can damage the fabric, and I do not think it will show. A Sampler should always have something creative about it.😊Jan xx
Thanks for the advise 😊 take care 🪡🪡🧵🧵
Urgh, gutted for you with your boarder. I hate to say it but I would frog it. I think you're going to have a problem with that inner boarder because it's not going to be an even distance from the outer boarder. You could stitch the inner boarder and then decide what to do but my gut is that it's going to look weird. And I hate saying this because I'm all for fudging it if at all possible.
Hurrah for afghan stitching - I'm all for people stitching more afghans! The fabric is enormous - much too warm to stitch now. It takes a little while to get used to wrangling that much fabric but once you get into the swing of it it's great.
Congratulations on the house purchase! You'll love having hens!
Happy stitching Elaine.
Thanks Rachel, I did frog it in the end. Take care 😊
