Great work!! :applesauce:

(I haven't had any issues working on red, although I've only done it a couple times)

Red is bright enough that it isn't too bad. I haven't had any problems with it!

Well that OSU project is in a landfill somewhere and I don't want to think/talk about it.

But while I haven't been active here, I have been active stitching! Here is the wedding sampler I am working on for my older brother and his soon-to-be wife! It is really soon, so I am working on it while I watch the Olympics and staying away from my computer as much as possible!

The entire brown border is done and the top left corner has all three colors in the piece - the sparkly thread will fill in ALL that whitespace (in fact, I probably need more than my two spools) and the pink will be around it too!

This project is so much fun to stitch!

that is looking so very pretty. I can't wait to see your next update on this!! :dance:

This is lovely. You are doing a great job and hope we will get to see more updates. Are you trying to finish it before the wedding? If so, do you have enough time? It is such a pretty pattern I think it would be fun to stitch.

Excellent start! What a great way to enjoy the Olympics! And you don't have to worry about missing anything since there's replays and replays and replays.

That is a beautiful border and the colour is looking good. Can't wait to see the rest of it.

I finished the wedding gift for my brother and his wife about 15 minutes ago!

I love the way it turned out! It was a lot of fun to stitch.

I can frame, but there is a cross stitch store near my parents that also does framing, so I am going to give the project to my mom when they visit in less than two weeks ( :applesauce:

) and my mom will get it professionally done and bill me. It is really important so I want it to be perfect!

Onto the next project which is actually for my husband and I! I have never made something for our house before...
