Wayne's First SAL!!

Post by wayne3rd »

Hello, I've started my very first cross stitch project. :D It's the Dimension Gold Collection, Paradise Found. I bought it the other day on sale at AC Moore. Lots of half crosses and 6 strands, LOL

Here is a pic of final product,

and my very modest start :lol: :wip:

By the way, I've gone through a lot of these SAL threads, and I am amazed at the work that is done here :applesauce: I just hope I can come close to some of you, but I know I'm just a beginner but I definitely am inspired!

:applesauce: :applesauce: Way to go Wayne and you have made a great start. It is going to be an interesting one to watch out for as I almost bought it a year or so ago and then went for a Christmasy one instead (not started yet)

Well done on your start. :stars: :stars:

:wink: I know, !! I actually had planned an getting on easier kit to start with, but this was the only one they had that I halfway liked, so I decided to go ahead with this to get me started and order some easier ones online. I've already filling up my wish lists at the various sites!! :lol: Now which ones to get?? :thinks:

Great start and lovely pattern :applesauce: I am currently stitching my first ever Dimensions kit and all the different thread amounts took a bit of getting used too but they give a really good effect so definitely worth it.

Beautiful project - I love the Dimensions Gold range. Great start and remember, it's always only 1 stitch at a time, no matter how big or complex.
