Chickadees and Lilacs - finished July 2017

[stitchingmae]

Amazing what backstitching can do. Talk about making a piece complete. It is fantastic. I don't have any ideas about the style of text. This is when I pull out my alphabet books and still can't figure it out. Not sure what color I would pick. Maybe the orange because its on all the frogs, or the purple color that is the middle frog? I'm not sure it needs it though since the picture says it all. Great job.

i agree it's crazy how much detail the backstitching added, I think, I may be able to stand back stitching like this its the back stitching that shows no detail that drives me crzy

Love the frogs!

Love both of your projects! The birds are beautiful, I have seen that kit many times in stores and it always catches my eye, it's even more beautiful in your photos.

The frogs are super cute. I actually bought that kit myself-- to teach a friend of mine how to cross-stitch-- I thought the bold colors would make it a little easier for a newbie. But now seeing how great it turned out- I might have to keep it for myself!
