Re: Jo's stitching 2021
The birds have been given their Christmas morning breakfast, beyond my chart frame you can see the log fire is buring:
You can also see the area of the piece i have been working on:
I am enjoying this one . Like the other Gold collection items it is a mix of stitch types, numbers of strands in each stitch and a few mixed coloured strands stitch types so I will have to be on my toes.
Merry Christmas everyone

Those colours a lovely. Nice start to a new project.
Re: Jo's stitching 2021
Thank you
Coming to the end of the Christmas weekend I thought I should give you another update on this piece:
I had been getting very concerned about how much edge is going to be left around the piece for mounting. I have just reached the far left hand edge and its a bit tight

Re: Jo's stitching 2021
Oh Jo it's looking fantastic! I really hope you have enough edge left for framing

Re: Jo's stitching 2021
I agree! And it's hard to get passed that feeling that the piece of fabric isn't going to be quite big enoughwendywombat wrote: ↑Mon Dec 27, 2021 11:13 amI'm always surprised how little 'extra' fabric is needed for mounting.
Maybe there's a conspiracy between designers and fabric suppliers to get us to buy more than we really need!!

Re: Jo's stitching 2021
Wow, look what you've done already! It's going to be beautiful.
Dimensions usually leaves a rather small border for framing, but you can always attach more fabric to the edges if needed when it's time for the framing. What I usually do is cut/tape pieces of paper together to match the size of the stitched piece and lay that on the fabric, centered, just to make sure there's enough room on all edges.
