Looking very nice. :applesauce: The three colours show up extremely well and I think the ivory aida will give it a nice antique look, which is often preferable to stark white.

:anotherfrog: :ribbit: :anotherfrog: :ribbit: :anotherfrog: :ribbit: :anotherfrog: :ribbit: :anotherfrog: :ribbit:

1) Used (unidentified count #) aida fabric in my His Name is Jesus wip
2) Did not use a grid system to ensure correct replacement.

These two :anotherfrog: put my stitching off by 20 squares at the bottom of the piece :oops:

Stepstash & Carole, it was truly 2 fatal :anotherfrog:'s. I was over half-way finished with my stitching when I realized it was "off". Late last night I counted out the grids & THOUGHT I'd just lost the extra border I had added in but this morning showing it to my dh, I realized that I was short by 20.

Have started over with a new piece of aida. Have graphed out the bottom R corner (started in the top L before & want to stitch something NEW).

Lessons learned.

I'm sorry that you have to start over. Sometimes that is the best solution if there is too much to fix. At least you will be stitching different parts for a while. Hopefully, it will go quickly and you will be back to where you were soon.

Oh, how frustrating! But a new start will make you feel better - especially when you get past the part you have already stitched! :hug:

:applesauce: looks really good. I'm sure there won't be any trouble. Looks like you decided to seriously grid.
