Gorjuss

Post by mariak »

Hello!

After a long long time of enjoying this forum, this is my first post!

I have loved doing cross stitch on and off for years. My last few projects have been designs from the Gorjuss range...has anyone else done these?

I have completed "Great Heights" "I Gave You My Heart" and my next one will be "The Balloon"

They are absolutely beautiful designs!

I can understand why a Gorjuss project would get anyone to break their silence and post. They are fantastic designs. Any chance that you will post a picture of your project? I haven't stitched any of these but love watching the progress of those who do. There have been quite a few threads showing Gorjuss projects. This one Niki's Quickies by Niki(fizzbw) is the most recent. If you do a search on Gorjuss you will find many more.

Brilliant! They look fantastic. I've done the one with the foxes, but neither of the other two though the one with the books I have.

Do you like the speciality threads used and the lace/sequins/ribbon/buttons that they use as well? Takes it up a level IMO.

Thank you all for you lovely compliments. I love these designs. The balloon one is new, only vAme out this year.

Niki, I like the sparkly threads, although they are tricky to work with, it's only a tiny part and the send result is really special,. I love how each design has a different little accent, like a tiny button, ribbon or feathers.
