I need to finish this by end of December. Getting close

I have aida fabric and use a white thread to do a angled stitch over two holes. It looks like two sides of a triangle.

What stitch do you use to cut down on unraveling?

End of May update. Unfortunately it is not as bright as I would like

It's slow going. Seems like finishing one thread takes an hour to do

Updating this old thread. Still working on the chickadees and lilacs. Have a deadline of the end of this year in mind

Now, a question. I'm considering adding underneath, the text "Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil".

It was really interesting following the design from start to finish. So detailed. I'm impressed!

So pretty. Where did you get the design?

The image is dark, will see if I can take a brighter one next time. The orange is definitely more vibrant than what is shown. The green frog now has some colour for the eyes, the feet filled in and the stomach shaded.

Updated pic. I'm jumping from frog to frog, using up the current thread. You can start to see a little of the green frog. There is one blended colour in this kit: a light green, dark green mix. I have not done it yet but both those colours are now on the fabric

Here's a updated pic. Sorry its yellow tinted from the light. Started work on the other two frogs. Although small, still takes a while

Cross stitch is addictive! :ratherbe:

I think I may have lost the needle in my computer case of all places. I moved some stuff on the desk I was cross stitching at, heard a "ting" and cannot find the needle since in the area. I have more needles, but I liked that one for the long eyelet.

Working on the middle frog. I was able to carry this on a flight across country and work on it while in the plane Very amused to carry a needle and small foldable scissors onto a plane.

Cockneystitcher found the pattern I was looking for, thanks!

Update on the frogs



Ended up having to fix two threads due to frogging.

Hi All,

I have been working on the Dimensions Chickadees and Lilacs for a over 8 months and wanted to share with you my progress.
