Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Oh my gosh! That was fast! We almost could have hand delivered it...since I was mailing it a little late...we are in TN now on vacay. I laughed a little when I looked up your address again to write on the package and saw how close we were this week!!

I got my ornament in the mail the day we left ...

That is awesome. You did a wonderful job finishing it and whoever charted it out for you was spot on. You would never know it was a merge of 2 different designs!

Talenaya, I was wondering the same thing! I didn't know Desiree was having so much trouble. Thanks Reta for the link. I missed that thread somehow. Hopefully she will have a speedy recovery. I know the charts are the last thing on her mind!! While we are waiting, you want to exchange a chart with me ...

dare I add frogging ?

oh yes!! frogging is perfect. I'd never thought of it as I seem to repress memories of disasters that required quiet a bit of it!! hahaha

I'm doing an embroidery project and I need a lot of cross stitch related words. I am using someone else's design idea, so I thought I might need some different words so it wouldn't be flat out plagiarism!!

These are the words the original design uses...

cross stitch, linen, stash, q-snaps, beads ...

Ok, I'm working on my ornament and I'm working it on 14 count plastic canvas. I have 2 questions.

1. How do you cut the sides where you can't tell there are/were holes. I'm afraid if I cut much more, it'll be too close to the design.

2. How do you finish the back? I'm trying to stitch meaty, but ...

I haven't been on here long, but I can tell you've done an excellent job and know everyone on here loves you. We will look forward to the drop ins and please don't be a stranger.

Meagan, Did you see the highlighter being used in the corner of the pic on my copy of the pattern??? That's all you girl!!! No worries about wrinkling pattern AND I know where I am ALL the TIME!!

Ok, so here is where I am now in the stocking. I am only getting to work on it during little ones gym class...an hour a week. :(

I'm not sure if I'm getting tension equal. Some seem quite a bit tighter than others. I am a tight stitcher normally so I am really having to concentrate on not pulling ...

My hubby and I both can't WAIT till Downton starts here. I heard first of February, but I'd take January...even a week or two early! We have Season's 1-3 on DVD and will start rewatching them in November to get refired up and ready for Season 4 to start!!

Since joining this group, I have been ...

Well I missed yet another BINGO sign up... :tantrum: ugghh :tantrum: ...I've got to start signing on more regularly! I am so happy to see a cross stitch themed bingo back in the mix this go around! :applesauce: I have lived such a sheltered cross stitch life that I always see things I have never ...

This is why I love this group! Y'all are so awesome!! I am glad the mice made it to their new home safely!!

Need:
Q Snaps (have a 6x6 only)
Q Snap huggies/covers - purchased or hand made

I am just now discovering different types of threads and fabrics...I've always used white/beige aida and regular ol' DMC floss. So, any type of specialty thread or fabric for me to try would be great (hand dyed, over ...

I'm sorry...less shopping you say??...ummm, I think not!! hahaha! How else will I be able to buy all the things you introduce me to?? However, I am on board on the whole less puking, more stitching part!!!

Well, I have been MIA for a few days, so I had to go look up my numbers...didn't do real well at picking, as I am only 1/10, but at least I am on the board now!! Now I need to go back and read all the posts!!

Thanks for the love ladies!!

Ok, here is my progress over the last few days. I didn't get much done on the weekend trip, so I think I've made decent progress. I've only had to undo stitches about 3 times for missing my over 2 spot, but overall I've enjoyed stitching over 2. It's not near as hard as ...

Moving along!!! Can't wait for it to get back around to me!! Great choices everyone! I'm glad there are soapy beautiful charts in there!!
