Having seen your finished project I've ordered this kit I had already bought a wedding sampler to do but I love this so have changed my mind Great finish

I really like this - what an unusual project

I started this one years ago and the backstitch did me in :tantrum: so it's in my WIPs and will probably never see light of day again. I'm sure it is worth it and maybe the idea of enlarging the chart might help, if it ever does creep to the top of my pile maybe I'll try that..... Good luck with it,...

That's a beautiful project - well done on your finish

Gorgeous projects - I can't pick out any favourites, I love them all!

After finishing my German Shepherd I wanted something a little less taxing - hmmm, there are a few "unique" touches to this one Just got the border to do now.

Thanks all

The detail does make her look real I agree and the way the tongue is hanging out, my old dog used to do that - it's as if the design was made from a photo of her.

Thanks all. I can't take credit for the design but I do love the finished piece

Haven't been on here for a while due to studying etc but managed to fit in some stitching and my German Shepherd is finished! Just need to frame her now

Gosh, it never used to be like that - there were always so many cross stitch related stalls I had a hard time choosing what to buy! Nice purchases though.

Welcome and so glad you have "re-discovered" this hobby. I have got a sewing machine but I tend to just "hem" the edges by hand - I just turn the edges of the material and do a small running stitch and don't end up with any fraying problems. Looking forward to seeing your progres...

Happy Forumversary to my "oldest" stitching friend!

Great updates. I too love the Christmas one - look forward to seeing the finished piece.

I totally agree, you are entitled to catch up! Glad to hear that you can go, wish I was going. Haven't been myself for about 7 years! Have fun and I look forward to seeing photos of your purchases Enjoy the rest of your break too!

Hi and welcome from South West England - not start a project until you've finished one??? Lucky you if you can stick to that, I can't!

Hi and welcome from South West England

They look great - I too love the embellishments and different fabrics. Look forward to seeing how you frame them

Love the design and works so well as a pillow
