The Needlepaints are very pretty to work with but they are difficult to find. I managed to luck out and find some in a clearance bin and I really like them but I wouldn't go out of my way to find them. There shouldn't be any difficulties substituting DMC or another brand even. I would just double ...

Ok I decided it was time to update my progress on this one.

Thanks guys. I will keep that stuff in mind.

It definitely comes down to personal preference. I'm working on Enchanted Fairy by passione ricamo and have found that I'm not making as many mistakes or having as many problems with it since I gridded the fabric. But I am very scatterbrained so I need something to help me keep track of where I am ...

So does any one have any tips for working with perforated paper? Can you use a frame with it? Or do you just do the stitching as normal only unframed? I've got some cards I want to make for former clients and I wanted to give it a try. I have ideas on finishing it but I can't seem to find any tips ...

My husband and I will be in Oregon for a couple weeks in April visiting his family. :applesauce: I was wondering if anyone knows of any good local shoppes in the Salem and coastal areas. Since I know he will be willing to let me do some shopping while we are there. :x: :dance: I am so looking ...

Very nice. It looks like its coming along very well.

Both my husband and I are avid readers. I love curling up with a good book but they take up space. For my husband who is in the navy on an aircraft carrier he doesn't have room to store any books. The amount of space the average sailor gets to store personal stuff in is about equivalent to a public ...

Very beautiful pattern and your stitching and progress is wonderful. I am going to enjoy seeing updates on this one. I'm also thinking it might find it's way onto my HAED wishlist.

Wow that's a gorgeous pattern. I can't wait to see it finished and what the other one looks like.

Barnes and Noble also does free eBooks. You don't even need a reader. You can download the Nook for PC application. Some are only samples but some are the full book and I've gotten some from my favorite authors for free. Its great. I will be looking into the the Amazon though since I'm sure they ...

I don't remember what I stitched for my first project. It was an ornament of some kind. What I learned was most important in any stitching though is to read the chart instructions. Even if you plan on changing some things you still need to read and verify how many threads, or if there are specialty ...

Very pretty pattern. I can't wait to see your progress.

Thanks for all the welcomes everyone. My current project is Enchanted Fairy. I have another project that my husband requested and designed that I am waiting on the fabric for. I'll post that when I get started.

Ok this is what my current WIP will eventually look like.

And this is my progress so far.

Hello to all of you. I love cross stitching. I am very glad this forum as I have already found some tips and tricks that are helping out a lot on my current project. I'll post pics as soon as I can get them uploaded.
