Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi! I stopped posting last year, sorry for that! I'll quickly try and update you with what I've been stitching. I stitched a fair few small projects at the end of the year but I can't even remember how many! I've started stitching up my own designs for my shop images, which is going... slowly! I started and finished 'A Wise Old Owl' by The Historical Sampler Company and now I've started The Rose Fairy by DMC. I'll post updates on that later.

One of my own designs:


A Wise Old Owl:


Rose Fairy Original Art:


Happy stitching!

I the owls! Where did you find that one, I'd love to add it to my stash! (The benefits of NOT being around when folks all signed up for the stash-ban )

I love all three!

I haven't looked in your shop lately. You've added a lot of super cute patterns! I love the stamp series.

It's by The Historical Sampler company and you can get it here. I believe they ship worldwide!

Hi again! I've been stitching a lot lately so I'll try and shove it all into one post. Somehow.

Firstly, I've made a good start on my Flower Fairies Rose Fairy, and the rose currently looks like this (see below). It doesn't look like much but there's half stitches, satin and metallics in there as well as the main stitches and the normal stranded thread.



I've not stitched much of it the past few weeks as I've been stitching my own patterns a lot, in a bid to update my shop images. So so far we have these:









I came up with an idea that somehow worked, and took off on Tumblr (I even got on the Tumblr Radar which was pretty cool). The idea was to paint a canvas and stitch onto it. The canvas actually fits in my hand, as well as the easel. I'd guess it was about 4-5 inches across.



And at the moment I'm stitching up a geometric heart design:



So it's been a bit of stitching madness here!

Oh wow what a nice group of stitching!!!!!!

Well done I love them all but especially the owls

Nice to see you around, very nice new designs!

I totally follow you on Tumblr on accident, I didn't know you were on here too! As in, I didn't realize you were the same person.

Awww, such sweet designs and I just love how you've photographed them!
Very cool idea about stitching on the canvas!

beautiful stitching, love your designs

I'm glad your artistry is being recognized. Very nice work.

Little more progress made on my Geometric Heart:

Welcome back! Your work looks great!

Getting there, 7 triangles left!

Very pretty! I love how neat and uniform your stitching is!

Just finished my Geometric/Minimalist Heart design! It was a fun stitch as I didn't need to look at the chart much. I'm not sure about accidental advertising on here but if anyone is wanting the pattern it may be made by me and may be available in my shop on Etsy. Maybe. The link might be below this post too. Possibly.

(P.S. Why is there a chilli on this thread's picture?)
