Oh sure. It's so easy I should be able to whip up 15 in no time

Mine isn't really a Christmas design, more of a winter design. I am doing it instead of my Noah's Ark right now because it looks like it will stitch up quick and I am a little bit intimidated by my Noah's Ark at the moment. Scroll to the bottom to see the one I am doing http://www.suehillisdesigns.n...

Congratulations and enjoy your day. We will be waiting for pictures

That is very pretty. Nice stitching too

The local store where I go always sells Aida off the roll. They have at least 20 different rolls and if they don't have your color/size, they will order in a roll or piece for you.

Thank you for the advice. I will go and iron it now before I get started.

I bought a piece of pre cut fabric a few days ago to start a small Christmas piece. It was folded so it has creases in it. The crease won't be covered by stitches. Should I get the crease out before I start stitching or can it wait until the piece is finished? How should I get the creases out?

Wow. I'm sure my grandkids will love to see the finished project. LOL my daughter is only 10

Wow, it looks fantastic.

Nice design. It will be interesting to see the updates. Where did you get your storage box? It is exactly what I am looking for.

Thanks again for all the replies. I don't think Jo Ann's is up here. See all the cool stuff we miss out on lol

I will definitely be visiting it in just a few short days. I have a feeling I will be coming home with quite a pile of stash.

Bobbins and patterns and threads, Oh My.

Thank you. I did change the title so maybe a few people will pop in for a peek. I think knowing that people are watching me now will make me keep at it LOL

Well, here is my first update. It's not much but it's a start.This is from the middle of the picture and the leopards will go into the blank space. The fabric in the top picture looks really weird but I promise you it is Aida 16 count in a light blue color. Also, how do I edit the title of the threa...

Thanks for the replies everyone. Dwitt, there is a Jo Ann's where I am going so I will for sure stop in there. I just took a look a their stuff online and I found a bunch of stuff to buy already LOL

Now for another question, which is better.. cardboard or plastic bobbins?

Thanks for the quick reply. I will be going to Fargo, ND next week for a few days. That picture is pretty close to exactly what I want. Unfortunately, I don't have a credit card so any online ordering is out of the question for me. That's probably a good thing, since I have seen so many patterns tha...

When I started my first cross stitch I didn't realise the stitches were supposed to be right next to each other, I left a square in between each stitch. I soon realised it didn't look right and started again! My daughter did this exact thing just a few days ago. She got a small kit for Christmas an...

This question is mainly for the US stitchers. I live in Canada but am heading down south in a few days for a quick shopping trip. For those of you who use bobbins and the bobbin storage box (the clear plastic one) where did you buy them? I currently use a ziploc bag to keep my threads in but I want ...

Wow, thanks everyone for the warm welcome. I forgot to mention that the rainbow and the peacock both use blending filiment. It will be my first time working with it so I hope I don't have too many problems. I have read the threads here for tips and also have a few from the lady who owns the shop whe...

I am new to these boards so if nobody decides to check in I'll understand :wink: I have had this pattern for a few years and have always thought it was too daunting. After seeing some of the projects people are working on, I think I can handle it. It is stitched on Aida cloth 16ct. Sorry, I don't kn...
