Sloth (Marta Dahlig) by HAED - Seven Deadly Sins series.

Post by justagirl78 »

Hi everyone.

Complete newbie here. I'm Rachel and I'm stitching Marta Dahlig's Sloth charted by HAED.

Here's what she'll look like when completed:

And this is where I'm at:

I'm so sorry for the huge pics, i don't know how to make them smaller!

Hello and welcome ^_^

I love her deadly sins series. I watched with eager anticipation as she completed them and uploaded them onto DA. Nice to see them in stitches too now. You've made excellent progress!

As for picture size...I wouldn't worry too much, you've probably noticed by now that the forum resizes them to fit the age after it's loaded...But since you mentioned it...
I see you're using Photobucket as your host server (where the image is actually saved). Once you upload the image to photobucket there are several thngs you can do with it, including resize it. Simply click edit.
The best forum image size is 500pixels wide.
You can also do a lot of things with it, so it's kinda fun to play around with ^_^

Hi and welcome. Sloth is my favourite one of the 7 Sins series, I've recently ordered the chart :) She's looking fantastic, I love her eyeshadow!!

What fabric are you using for this? Also is it tent stitched?

Hi everyone, and thankyou for the warm welcome :)

Angel, thankyou for the resizing images tip, I shall definitely try it.

I am tent stitching Sloth on 25 count lugana and using 3 strands of DMC. I thought it would be bulky but its great and gives really good coverage.

Burgundyice, Sloth is my favourite too, but love them all. I noticed you've nearly finished Queen of Hearts. I have her kitted up ready for a new start in the new year.

Thanks everyone!

Your coverage on the 25ct is great by the way!
