Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Very nice start!

What fabric are you using?

I've been MIA lately because work has been insane, but I am hoping to get started on this one as soon as I finish my other van gogh (skull with cigarette). Hopefully in about 2 months. I'll join the SAL too then!

I'm out of town for work this week, and I forgot to bring my camera with me, but the 22 count came in before I left. Doing 2 over 1 right now, I'll try to get a pic up this weekend when I get home!

I go page by page, but as I get close to the edges, I keep going onto the next page with the color I'm on.

Is the stitchy store really five hours away, or did you just dream it that way?

If it really is that far, I'm for you

Were you doing full crosses or tent stitch? I'm curious as to how the 22 count covers because I want to do Compadres on a larger count. I'm planning to hang it about my tv in the living room and need it to be a little larger than normal. I haven't decided if I want to use 22 or 18 count.


I'm ...

absolutely stunning.

Two other things i forgot!

First - i kept track of everything I bought for my kindle for a while, and what it would have cost to buy the physical book - it took about 4 months to save what it cost to buy the kindle.

Second - the internet access was awesome during my europe trip! At one point, I ...

I'm a 'real book' person, I just love books!
Having said that, I've never tried or even seen a kindle, so maybe would LOVE it, if I actually did.

I like the thought of it weighing nothing and fit easily in your bag etc, but I just wonder if I'd get the same pleasure as I do from a book.


I am a ...

I'm stitching wrath too and did mine on 18ct, full crosses, 3 x 1. I am a little oddball for using 3 strands but love the coverage. Of course, I haven't worked on Wrath in forever and ever but if you search in the stitch a long section, you might be able to find my thread that has the pics in it ...

I try to get in 1 hour a day m-f (but it usually ends up happening only 2 or 3 nights because I end up working late). Saturdays, usually about 4 hours, and Sundays are great - usually 8 hours because I stitch while bf and I watch football all day. Of course, football is dwindling, so I hope I still ...

I have to agree with the crowd here - Skitzzzz does a great job! I'm getting the materials together for starry night with tardis right now, and the way she sets everything up makes it really easy ... I can't wait to start it!

Rose, this looks great!

I never would have thought that something like an engine would have such vibrant and varied colors!

How appropriate - you get to go down Memory Lane and stitch Memory Lane at the same time!

Good luck with the projects - they are all lovely!

Well, I did end up doing full crosses - I wasn't happy with the coverage on the tent stitch. So, I'm doing 2 over 1 full crosses on 25 count. The coverage is amazing, and I haven't had any trouble so far getting the floss through.

I just sent you a pm! This is going to be great!

Do you have a link to Terry's site? I've never been there before, would like to check it out.

Hi Dave - You might want to check out some of the stitch software - there is a sticky thread in "tips and tricks" - almost all of them do free trials so that you can get a feel for what will work best for you. I have PC Stitch, I absolutely love it. Especially if you are planning to do more than one ...
