Hey all, I was browsing through and saw you like to post your stitching work so I thought I would post mine. I am a massive fan of Eeyore, I came across this one from ebay.
Heres the reference image:
Heres where I am up to now:
All that is left to do is the detail and outline, which I find really hard to do! I was wondering if you guys knew any tips that could help me out? Thanks so much!

looks great well done Im not keen on backstitch either, my only tip is to use a sharp needle-it will go through the aida easier if you have to go through a block!

thanks, yeah I hate doing it lol but you can't get away with not doing it
Your chart will show you where to place the backstitch. However, I would suggest you do the outside line of backstitch first, then start on the internal detail.
One question, probably a silly one - do you actually know how to backstitch? You chart should have a detailed little instruction on the chart, but if not, and you need further guidance, there is a thread somewhere in the forum that shows stitches. I'll look for it for you...

He is very cute. You have done a great job stitching. Don't let the backstitching worry you it will come out fine and it makes a picture look so good. I like to backstitch.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
Hey all, I have been putting off doing bs for so long on this eeyore. I have messed up quite alot actually looking back to it now with the stitching but I thought I mays well try and finish it off anyway, ive got nothing to loose. As promised, I will do a bit of bs each day until its finished (mel and sam ) so heres the first lot. I thought the best way to do it was start with a new strand and once that has gone then I will stop for the time being, that way I dont get annoyed with doing it lol
