Your projects look gorgeous. Xandra, you call your fabric waste canvas. It resembles Penelope rather much. It must be the fact my stitching is needlepoint instead of 'real' xs, though...but your projects are awesome! I hope you got that magazine thing they promised. I mean the staff of that magazine.

I think the Penelope canvas is a bit different from waste canvas. The waste canvas will be pull out once the stitching is finished so that all that is left is the design on regular fabric. I think that Penelope Canvas is what you stitch the design onto???????

Hi!
You're right. I think the waste canvas just reminds me of Penelope. And usually...at least to me...if the Penelope is...pre-printed aka stamped...that is how I like it. I dare to say I have thought the waste is more like mono than like Penelope. But now I see, how much alike they may seem. And if you ask me...I could definitely mix the two, if I had 2 identical packages of fabric on the table, and I should pick the one I'd believe being Penelope. I couldn't tell the difference. Sorry to be not quite precise about what I meant.

Well I am curious how sturdy is the Penelope canvas. Is it as stiff as some of the other canvases????? Or is it a lighter weight canvas???? Does it hold its shape well???? I have not had any chance to stitch with it as I have always just used the waste.

Here is another update, house sitting this weekend so not been able to be online much. Hope everyone is well 
The waste canvas is 14 count, first time I'm using it so it's a bit of a learning experience.
I'm afraid I've never seen Penelope canvas so can't make a comparison

I must admit I don't know about the count thing, but if a thing called mesh is familiar to you, the mesh must be 11 or less. Must be my vision.

Finished all the words, and have started on the flowers. Made a mistake when I was stitching 'stash', Missed the one square gap between t and a, but couldn't face frogging so left out the gap between the other letters as well.
Will be frogging the yellow in the flowers though as I needed it to be paler to go with the colours I went with for the flowers.

I have finally got mine started It is on cream 20 count evenweave with gold metalic flecks! 1 over 1
I am using only DMC light effects so it should be very blingy!
The metalics do not show too well on camera but here it is so far
