Scotland Map *Finished!!!!!!!!*

[YoungStitcher]

I wanted to do a Scottish scenery picture for my Dad who now lives in America.
The local shop didn't have the one I wanted, but I got this one instead. I've never done Evenweave before, but I'm going to have a go!

What a great project for you to do! Stitching on evenweave is easy once you get used to it - TBH with the look of all that back stitching on your project using evenweave will probably make your life a lot easier!

That is a lovely map and I think will be beautiful when stitched. I think you are going to be fine. I stitched on evenweave for years (the 18 ct afghan fabric) thinking it was aida because it was 18 ct. I knew even less then about fabrics than I do now. I find the smaller counts the challenge. It is all one stitch at a time. I am looking forward to watching this one progress. I know your Dad will love it.

That's fantastic! Don't forget to add where you live when you stitch!!

Evenweave's a doddle...just takes a bit more care when you start.
Why not try a practice piece first?

Brilliant!!

That will be a great present for your Dad!

Don't you fret about the evenweave. I used evenweave for the first time about 3 years ago for a kit I got. I got into a slump and didn't stitch anything for a while. I've recently got my stitchy bug back, and in a real bad way. Well, not bad bad... but I've been doing tons of stitching lately. Anywho, I rediscovered evenweave from this forum, and I love working with it.

I tried evenweave last sunday I did full stitch with two strands on 25 count 'over one' and was very dissapointed it looked bulky not good ...but I picked it up today and tried tent stitch with two strands much better and looks good I think its lovely material to work with you've just got to find what suits you good luck

That looks like it's going to be a beautiful map when you've stitched it.

I did my first project with evenweave about six years ago and never went back. It takes a little getting used to, but I find it much nicer to work on than aida.

I've started the top left corner of the Tartan border and a little of the shield. Seems easy enough, but to get the hang of it i'll need to do all the half stitches in the one session so I don't restart and miss parts.

Piccies tomorrow

Great design, i'm sure your Dad will love it! Cannot wait to see your progress

Great project that I'm sure your dad will love.

As for evenweave: you'll love once you get used to it and may find your prefer it to aida. I did my first project on it recently and must admit that I am now a convert. Half stitches and fractionals are sooo much easier! Plus it means you can now add even more lovely fabric choices to your stash: jobelan, lugana, linens.

Nice project! I love maps, though I've never stitched one. Evenweave is nice to work with - not quite as easy as aida at first, but it gets easy very quickly.

Here is my start on the Tartan border.
