Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hey guys, Been a while since I've updated. I've been working exclusively on Butterfly Forrest for big projects but had a few little projects slipped in as events required. My Nan is doing well, thank you everyone for your kind wishes! I'm considering making Butterfly Forrest into a Wheelschair/Walki...

I have a UFO due to a similar incident. It was a kit full of greys, greens & browns (a possum in a tree) that you had to sort the threads yourself. My two dogs decided to play tug of war with it while I was out, when I came home there was threads everywhere and the cardboard thread organiser was...

What great finishes, lovely stitching! I've eyed up that Rock & Roll Alphabet quite a few times so going to love seeing your progress on it

Congratulations!!

I'm totally doing that when I go home!

Gorgeous stitching! Love the birds, especially the galahs on the black fabric, they stand out so beautifully! Keep up the great work and don't feel like you need to hold back and only show us some of your finished. Show us allllll your finishes!

Welcome Fizzle from Perth Western Australia! No one will be offended, we're all very different and have different tastes and we're all at different points in our cross stitching journey and that seems to be accepted with open arms on this forum which is great. Hope you find what you're looking for i...

Ok so I've not been stitching much the last week or so, been so tired after work that the thought of picking up my cross stitch made me grumpy so only just finished the last butterfly on the first page of Butterfly Forest. But in the meantime I stitched a couple of smalls and did a pillow finish for...

Hey guys, Would like your input. I've bought the pattern for Twisted Band Sampler and it will be my next new start once I've finished Butterfly Forest. My questions is, should I splurge on the silks? I've never worked in silk before and I've never done speciality stitches. I have no doubt I'll love ...

Look so comfy!! Your official couch tester did a good job picking it out

Beautiful!! Glad you're able to get started with your 18ct Aida, hopefully it doesn't cause you too many problems. The colours are amazing, as usual the photos in the magazines just don't do the real thing justice do they, going to be amazing and I look forward to seeing what the other three pattern...

Looks interesting Rose!! Look forward to seeing your progress. Are you doing it on Waste Canvas or are my eyes doing funny things to me again?

I was just reading through this and thought to myself...these instructions sound familiar!!! Then noticed the name in the signature. My grime guards were done after watching your Youtube tutorial, I had to borrow a sewing machine off my Mum as I don't have one and it took me an hour (yes an hour - p...

Looks absolutely amazing, you're doing such a wonderful job. Keep the updates coming, I'm drooling over how gorgeous it looks!!!

Update for the week. Finished the background on the first half (except the full stitch flowers) and started the last butterfly on the page. Wondering whether I should do the back stitching on the two butterflies I've already done. I have a feeling it's going to make a big difference but I usually le...

Congratulations on Baby #2, hopefully they're happy in their warm comfy home and go to full term this time. Your finishes are beautiful, I really really love the second birth sampler, do you know what it's called by any chance? My cousin is due in May and I know she'd love that one :) Have you got a...

My only resolutions this year is to try new things, new fabric, threads, stitches and designers. I'm really looking forward to it! You guys are all great for helping me discover new things to try when I see what you've been working on, love it!

Hey guys, Just a quick update. I dumped Santa like a hot brick when I got my happy mail recently that included Butterfly Forest by Dimensions. I saw it stitched up on Calico's youtube channel and fell in love. I'm stitching it for my Nan in the UK and it needs to be finished by May so it can fly bac...

I actually made mine (which is something of a miracle if you knew my sewing machine abilities), made one for my 8" and one for my 11" Q-Snap, I followed the video tutorial Tricia the Left Handed Stitcher has on her youtube channel, it was great. One of the other Youtubers put up a great id...
