Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi all

I am getting married next August and have started to think about the smaller details. I really want to make my own cross stitch ring bearer pillow. Does anyone know of any kits or designs? I have had a look online, but only found one I like so far.

Ah what a lovely picture. And now you have it for this christmas!

This has happened to me this year too. Ispent 2010-2011 training to be a teacher and did not pick a needle up for months....I have just done some during the christmas holidays and feel so happy about it! However, I know I won't have much time again soon

Thanks for the lovely comments.

The next Bank Holiday in England is the 31st May.

Here' my lastest offering. I hope to have it finshed by the nest bank holiday hee hee.

Looking good!

Beautiful! It seems both of our wedding projects are coming along nicely!

Hello Isabelle, welcome to the forum.

I live in England but lived in france for a year and am almost fluent in french. I have also lived in Portugal, but my portuguese is not so good.

I love some of the french cross stitch designs and picked some up when I was in France, I do find them expensive ...

Good luck, I am sure you will stitch it very well and that it will look fabulous!

Wow, what a great gift! Such a lovely start too!

This is looking lovely. You are making me so tempted to do the same thing with my cats for my next project!

Thanks guys, I can't wait to see it all defined with the backstitch

I am trying to get a good grasp on it while I am off uni for a few weeks, but have a mountain of ironing and housework to do

Haven't updated for a while but here is my progress! Just about to do some more!

Here is the whole thing so far:


Here is the dove close up

This is looking lovely, well done!

What a lovely design, and you are making great progress!

I wonder when I will get the time to do one of these lol!

Oh yours is not dull at all, it's lovely. Our works are very different but both charming in their own way!

Here is my latest update, I am so pleased with how it is progressing!

This is looking lovely, fabulous stitching! I am impressed you picked it for your first project and it really is lovely. I think it's better to stitch christmas things at this time of year....they have a reasonable chance of actually being used this christmas. I started a design in early october ...

I love the design and it is coming along so well!

Well done

Thanks, I am really happy with the way it is progressing, looks even better than I thought it would!
