Latest project

[dollystitcher]

As some of you may know, I recently started working for a firm who make Cross Stitch kits. They send me the kits and I stitch them up, check for mistakes in the chart etc, and estimate how long the kits will take to complete. The finished items are then displayed in their catalogue. Well I asked the marketing manager if I could put them on the SAL and she had no problem with it so here is the second one I completed. ( The first one had gone back before I got permission)

This one is Beehive Garden and took about 50 hrs to complete. It is on 14 ct and is about 7"x9"



I am working on the next one now, which is a really pretty wedding sampler and will post pics when I have done a bit more

That is wonderful.....getting paid to enjoy yourself.

[Squirrel]

It looks really lovely and great that you get paid to do it too plus a chance to see the latest charts etc. Do you have set deadlines to meet??

It's pretty and the beehives make it especially interesting and unique.

[dollystitcher]

Thanks everyone, it really is the stuff dreams are made of... getting paid for something I love to do

Squirrel Yes they usually give me a date to have it back by. However they are generous with the time lines so I have plenty of time without having to rush. All I have to do is jot down the times I work on the project so that they know roughly how long each one will take

What a pretty design. But when you have stitched them don't you just feal like keeping them.

[dollystitcher]

Maggs... I am very lucky, because the marketing manager has told me I can copy the charts for my own use, but of course I can not sell or distribute it to others.

Sounds like a good deal from here. Until you get something you really don't like and still have to spend hours doing it.

I thought you might like to see the latest project I got. it is called "Love and Marriage". There are seed beads round the border and a few in the main part, and was a joy to stitch
