Your stitchings are great too - I have an aunt who adores dogs and would simply love your two doggie pictures. The snowman is fun too. :applesauce:

I don't stress about the back either. While its nice to have it neat, nobody really sees that part. I'm also a knotter...when I have to blend 3 strands together I can't stop myself from making a knot at the end so I don't have to run it under as many stitches to get started.

Once I post 8 more messages I'll check out your gallery.

I use knot also and don't even worry if it is correct or not. I have never had a present returned because I used a knot on the back. :lol: :lol:

I don't worry about the back at all. It's the front people are going to be looking at and once it's framed they wont be able to see the back anyway. I'm glad everyone seems to feel the same as I always thought I should be trying harder with the back too.
With HAED's there is so much confetti that it is impossible to keep the back tidy!!

I don't worry about what the back looks like. Everything I do gets framed or covered on the back so no one sees it.
