Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I've just googled the Wode Psalter and it would be lovely to see any designs you stitch.

So glad you are back! I was sitting at home thinking about checking out the forum and wondered what had happened as the site was down. Yay - good to see the forum back up and running!!

This piece is amazing and your work is incredible! Please keep the updates coming as they are wonderful!
Still can't get over how fast you stitch! I'm such a slow stitcher lol. Do you manage to stitch every day?

Skitzzzz does amazing custom charts! Can't recommend the lady enough!

If you are a fan of the Waterhouse designs, sites like Scarlet Quince and Cross Stitch Collectibles are worth a look.

Thank you
I'll check them out. Wasn't sure if anyone used these threads instead of DMC. I love using Au Ver a Soie silks but a bit too costly for me to use on every project. I've seen a conversion chart for the Valdani threads too which is helpful.

Hi everyone. I've recently come across Valdani threads online. They seem expensive compared to DMC. I've never heard of them before so I wanted to ask your valued opinions on them. Are they good quality and what are they like to use compared to DMC etc?

Thank you for your help.

Hi! I must be honest, I didn't realise cross stitch patterns were available on Etsy but after discovering them by accident (more my fault than anything, I've just not used Etsy until recently), I've now bought a few from different sellers as pdf downloads and it's great! I'm sure your own online sto...

Hello Karen
Thank you so much. I'll check this out. Really appreciate your help!
Happy stitching!

Hi Carole Thank you so much for your reply and encouragement. I hope I can find a copy of the magazine. I have looked on the website for Phillipa and there is a now a kit for the design but it's expensive! I already have wools etc so it would be good if I could get the magazine. If not, I'll have to...

Hi everyone. Im looking for a copy of this magazine they would be willing to sell? I believe its an American magazine but I know we sometimes can get magazines from overseas in UK anyway. I'm also looking on eBay too. It has a piece in there by Philipa Turnbull called Jacobean Idyll. Thank you for y...

Happy birthday to you!
I hope you have a wonderful day and you eat lots of and get lots of

All very beautiful designs with amazing stitching!
I particularly like the Tree of Stitches. Have you used beads in this one?

Gorgeous work! Xx

Hi Richard. Thank you for replying to my post and sharing your experience too. Your stitching is beautiful! Well done on such fabulous work! :applesauce: :applesauce: You are delving into an area I've never ventured in to and that's blending. I do have one or two designs that require it but I've not...

Thank you Carole. That's really helpful too and I really appreciate your reply and words of wisdom :wub:. I'm more of a cross country stitcher as well but I will take a look at the 'parking' You Tube clip that Mary mentions. Always open to suggestions :) I will most definitely try out fabrics and st...

Hi Mary. Thank you so much for your post and for the advice and encouragement. It's greatly appreciated. I'm going to go for it with the design so will watch the HAED site for the pattern release :) I've been stitching on and off for a few years but other hobbies have taken over so my cross stitch h...

I would also suggest skitzzzzz. The charts she produces are absolutely great!

Well done on starting your first HAED! Looks great!! :applesauce: I've just posted into the general board for people to share their experiences of stitching the HAEDs as I've yet to make that leap. I've not done any cross stitch for a while. Will keep a look out on your progress. Happy stitching!! :...

Thank you for replying. I thought they would be slow to develop but I do think the detail in them pays off. I love the other bookshelf designs too. Happy stitching!

Hi everyone. After a very long absence from cross stitch, I'm going to try and rekindle my stitchy bug and I've been looking at my current stash of beautiful cross stitch kits and charts. However like all crafters, you can never have enough stash :) and I'm tempted by a new HAED design which I've se...
