Thank you.
I'm working on another mini one right now since working on the large WIPs seem not appropriate ATM. Working again has left me soooo little xstitching hours and I can just easily make progress in xstitching mini ones. I'm working on a Tantes Zolder (I hope I spelled it right) free design and am using metallic thread on it.

Very nice.
I have a question did you do each cross stitch individualy or do a row of half cross stiches and then come back to complete the cross?

Hi, maggs
For the variations thread...I do the crosses individually. Someone also adviced me on that.

Thanks!
It will be four butterflies in a square design...using metallics make xstitching a little slow as it keeps on fraying...but I'm coping up with it...

In my
extremely limited (like 2 days worth) experience, using Thread Heaven definitely helps a ton with this!! Can't wait to see more progress pics
Whose design is this?
