Titanic. Updated pic 11th May page 3

Post by paul »

I loved this when I saw it. I just had to stitch it.

I'm interested in all things Titanic, a family member of mine was a fireman on the ship.

It's backstitch hell though. Wish I could show you how bad. It also has loads of French knots but after my last project this will be easy :lol:

Started this yesterday

Paul I LOVE your new project - I have a Titanic piece kitted up, but it has been shooed down the "to-do" list so I will be watching your progress very eagerly.
I am sure you will fly along with the b/s - great choice :wub: :applesauce:

I wanted another titanic one but sadly can't find it. The dimensions kit and when I have found it it's like £60!

I'm eager to do this one, think I will get through it quick

This is going to be fantastic and I'm so eager to see your updates on it. It looks like a real challenge but nothing you can't handle. You're an artist and magician with your needle.

I saw the other Titantic you mentioned on eBay...it is pricey but if I ever find it at a reasonable price, it's yours. :-)

This is going to be a great project! When I have a project with a lot of backstitch (used to anyway) I found that the backstitch just made everything come to life! I also did the backstitch as I went along so that it wasn't overwhelming. With this project, each image becomes its own little finish. Just like the neverending Disney project!
