Light House of Dreams by Mystic Stitch My 1st project!

Post by 1bulletburner »

I love this site. I taught myself to cross stitch in October of last year from this site and the internet. I used to scrapbook and ran out of pictures and needed a new hobby. I am loving cross stitch so far using the simple "full" "x" stitch. I am amazed at the patterns by HAED and Mystic stitch. Those are so far the two designers that I have found that use only that stitch in their paterns.

Here is a picture of the finished project:

And here is where I am so far:

I enjoy all of your tips and advise and look forward to learning much more!

Beautiful work so far! Very nice and even stitching, and you have chosen a very pretty pattern to work from :)
I also like that HAED and Mystic Stitch use the full X, and there is another company called Golden Kite that uses all full X's in their designs, as well.
Beautiful!
