New WIP: Stars & Stripes According to Disney
Hello All
As you may have seen, i have finished my Lucky Cat and i am now moving onto a larger project.
I originally started this in 2006 and when i dug it out from under the dust, my aida had gone somewhat yellow and the threads had also turned a little funky. (bad of me i know) So i popped down to HobbyCraft and got some fresh aida and started over. My first photo is how it should look when complete and then the next one is what i did on Sunday after i had been to the shop.
If you want to see the original stitch i can put a picture up. Otherwise, this is my new one. 2 over 1 on 18count. (original was on 14count)
If you squint you can see the white stitch
and as always, back to work... you know, the thing we do between stitching

Re: Stars & Stripes According to Disney
great start. Don't have to squint to see the white and won't it just be striking with the bright reds and blues.

Re: New WIP: Stars & Stripes According to Disney
That is a really nice one!!!!!!!!
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
Re: New WIP: Stars & Stripes According to Disney
This pattern is adorable! You're brave to start white on white. I would have done some of the colors first and tackled the white a little while later. Good job!

Re: New WIP: Stars & Stripes According to Disney
I thought that. its more visible than the photo makes out though. the aida is a slight cream color to allow for that. the original aida was white on white and that was hard to spot and made my brain achePengwenn wrote:This pattern is adorable!

Re: New WIP: Stars & Stripes According to Disney
Today's update.
I have started on some of the shadier areas.
On a more concerning note, i can't stop thinking about getting home to do more stitching! Is this normal?
and as always, back to work...

I did some more shading on tuesday evening and the eyes last night after eating far too much at the chinese buffet in Wolverhampton.
Hope to do some more stitching tonight!
