Happy Belated Birthday Lisa! Hope you had an amazing weekend with lots of stitching!

Amazing! So great to see this getting closer and closer to being finished! Keep stitching!!

I also prefer the version without hearts as it doesn't take away from the beautiful flowers. But truthfully, both are beautiful and I can see the hearts working for a more whimsical design.

Great start!! As for the twisting, I just let it untwist every few stitches, and run my fingers along the thread to help the 2 strands lay flat. You can also try railroading (where you put the needle between the 2 strands when you pull through, this makes it lay next to each other), that might help ...

You are so gutsy for restarting, especially after 5 pages!! The tent stitching looks great, can't wait to see your progress.

Thanks so much NeedleAndFork!! You continue to amaze me!
It's been a super busy week with school and work, but it's Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend so I'll be sure to try it out.

Congrats on a beautiful finish! You stitched it up so fast too!

That is amazing news, you must be so proud of him! Enjoy every minute of his visit, you must have so much to catch up on.
As an aside, I find it a bit funny that he's leaving Ontario to go to NB for work. Generally, it's the other way around lol

I'm not sure if I posted it on here or on the HAED board, but I've done something like this. It's a bit convoluted as it doesn't use the PDF directly, but you can start from there. I import my PDF into photoshop to work from as it's easier to highlight completed stitches there rather than in a PDF ...

I don't think that was a PDF reader in the usual sense. I think the poster was talking about an app that highlighted all instances of the symbols on the screen. Symbols are usually taken from a font. All font readers that I'm familiar with have a "Find" feature in which you can search for...

Great progress and a beautiful design!

Is there a PDF reader out there where you can select a symbol and it will highlight all occurrences of that symbol on your screen? Wouldn't that feature be amazing for confetti stitching?? I could swear I read a post about it, but can't find it again! Maybe I dreamt it all

Seems like I'm on a total roll. Finally finished the Cranes and Bamboo!!!! :whoop: :whoop: :whoop: https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2949/15244493039_e526e920d2_k.jpg The finished design is 44" x 21.5", and it's stitched on 11 count aida with DMC. And here's the back: https://farm4.staticflic...

Congrats on the finish! It's really cute! I have not long discovered Frosted Pumpkin and there are so many I would like to do but I am especially tempted by the Kawaii Winter Wonderland and the 12 Days of Christmas Sampler! I have way too many of their patterns, including those two!! So far I have ...

Congrats on a beautiful finish!!! So much back stitching too, I'm

Oh you're such a tease!!!
Can't wait till tomorrow!

Wow what an amazing project! Great start!!

So pretty!!! Is this your first time doing specialty stitches?
This is on my wishlist, as soon as I finish some WIPs!

Just amazing!! Can't wait to see more.

Gorgeous colours!!!
