Sheila/LadyA - just wondering do you usually order the charts in regular or large format? Still considering ordering one and might go on my birthday list!

I've always gone with regular format, although I can see I may have to go large as I get older! Or get an A3 printer and print the regular bigger. With the regular there will be less changing from one page to the next. Which one are you going for? |

The calendar shop here used to have a 12x12 Kim Jacobs one every year. When I was a poor uni student, I used to buy it every year, and then at the end of the year would cut it up, spend a few pennies at the office supply store to get them laminated, and use them for wall decor. |

Thanks Sheila - I am thinking of either Home Time (Karen Middleton) or the mini chart The Falling Snow (Alan Giana) |

Thanks Sheila - I am thinking of either Home Time (Karen Middleton) or the mini chart The Falling Snow (Alan Giana) They're both lovely, I like the snowy one, there are so many to choose from, I've just fallen in love with Bonded By The Rain by Leonid Afremov |

Thanks Sheila - I am thinking of either Home Time (Karen Middleton) or the mini chart The Falling Snow (Alan Giana) I adore the "home time" design - so cute! When I tried my own HAED designs I always bought the regular version, which has always been fine. What I did to help to keep my place and to focus more on the design, is to work the colours in a 10x10 block then move on to the the next block. I made a little square in a sheet of card and placed this over the square I was focusing on, then once that block was done, I moved the card to the next block - it helped me to keep my place and not get overwhelmed with the amount of stitching left to do on the page! Good luck with it, whichever one you decide to get! |
