3madspaniels -HAED QS Cherished Moments and Skitzzzz chart

All finished! I changed a few bits and pieces. I thought the l in older looked a bit odd, a bit like an r, so I changed it slightly. There were loads of french knots on the skirt and scarf, which I thought made it look too "busy", so I left those off. The original also had pink stripes backstitched on the purple top, which looked a bit odd too.

I stitched her on a piece of 28 ct Polstitches fabric from a grab bag, sort of a pale pink with pale brown splodges! looks a bit muddy, which sort of fits!

Anyway here she is....



I don't think my camera likes this fabric! I'll try to take a better piccie tomorrow when it's framed!

I've been working away at my Samurai again. It's nice to go back to something a bit more challenging. I've been concentrating on the background and some of the huge amount of backstitch so that it's not all left until the end. The half cross stitch has proved more prone to than the rest of the design! I struggled to keep my place on the pattern. I've never marked my patterns or gridded my work and it's never been a problem before. Perhaps it's my age !

he is looking awesome sorry about the visit from the pesky I find it hard sometimes doing the half stitch too as you starch it much quicker and I sometimes forget to mark it off on chart, can't wait to see more of him

[rcperryls]

WOW

Can't wait to see more. Beautiful.

He's looking great ! The contrast between the "vague" background and the full-colour backstitched head is wonderful

[flosaxby]

That is a really gorgeous design. Sorry the attacked!
