What wonderful ideas do you have for me for something great that will fit in
a 5 x 5?

Lucille

What kind of art do you like? Have you looked at Solaria?

Or how about an intitial?

would be stunning on a silver laced fabric . . .they say it's about 7
inches on 11 count - it would be a perfect fit with a mat on 18. .

Linda

You had to show me these! I rarely find a single initial in a larger format
that I like and I love both the C and the E....

Some of the Dessins are very nice, but neither the L or the Z are calling to
me.

I think I would love a miniature sampler. I might even have a Drawn Thread
chart in my stash that has two tiny samplers. I really should go and look,
shouldn't I?

Lucille




There are some nice small, square ones from Elizabeth's Designs...

I have some little ones from Dessin's that are freebies - I'll throw
something in with the turtles when they swim your way.

Hi,

Most of the mill hill kits fit into the 5x5 frame....I have a few that
I change out for the seasons.

S n MD

That's a great idea - they fit perfectly in that size. There are some
really nice Button and Bead kits - I'm almost done with the "martini" one
now! Also - there are nice geometrics from Keslyn's that if you do on 32
ct will fit. And, many of those little Sweetheart Tree or JBW and some of
the Elizabeth's Designs, especially the Little Leafs will fit in that.

Got to go.

How about one of the initials from M Designs? The L and Z are both
lovely, and would suit an elaborate pewter frame well, I think.

It doesn't say how big they are, though. But they don't appear huge, and
you can vary the fabric size. And working with variegated could make it
interesting without a lot of changing!

Sue
Thry're really nice - but closer to about 7" square - they're too much for a
5" X 5" - unless doing over one on something like 18 ct Cork linen or 25 ct.

Oh, do you want these???? We have the full packet of the alphabet, and also
have a packet broken to sell by the sheet. Besides the M designs letters.
And there is a lovely set of monograms from Marjorie Massey, Le Passe'
Compose, and from Reflets de Soie. Also, we have a couple of books from
France, of all Monograms. And Dessings has some charts that are monochrome,
with a letter in the midst of different borders, etc.

Just check out the dessin's stuff on European Cross Stitch - I think they
have a bunch - we get directly from Dessin's.

There are simply too many choices and I doubt I could make up my mind in a
week. Needless to say, I have skatey-eight other projects just waiting for
me, so it's not something I need urgently.

I love this place. All you need do is to ask for help and poof, much more
help then you ever thought possible is there in a NY Minute, especially when
it comes to enabling. lol

Do you like needlepoint? Here's are some pretty butterflies:
http://www.dimensions-crafts.com/pro...idproduct=2164
http://www.dimensions-crafts.com/pro...idproduct=2133

Or, there's this *really* cute design, of a Maltese (that's what Puff
is, right?)
http://www.trademe.co.nz/Crafts/Cros...-169551961.htm
I think if you picked one face, it would probably be about the right
size.

Good luck!

I have the turtles (actually my Mother does). Are you thinking of something
else?
