Love the Teachers row, the Bent Creek 'Row' series is brillian, there are so many I'd like to stitch from it. Look forward to seeing more of it.

Thanks everyone, the encouragement really helps. I havent done much more because I had to rip out the top row of black stitches because of a slight miscount :doh: but I hope to correct that this evening :D
I love then row series too, I have a few more in my stash to do namely the Trick Or Treat Row and Spooky Row which I had as a birthday gift off a close friend :wub: I hope to start those as soon as i have the threads!!

Re: Heidi's WIP's - Teacher Row - Updated 12.11.10

Post by Charmed »

A long overdue update. All the cross stitching on the main design is done, I just need to add the backstich in places, I also decided to change some of the colours at the start to make up for changing the bus from yellow to red. I apologise for the picture quality my camera is just a cheap one and I guess you get what you pay for. The fabric is also a bit wrinkled due to being on the frame its quite difficult to get comfy stitching with loads of fabric hanging off the end of my frame so mostly it was all gathered in my hand while I stitched.

Im about to add the personalisation, then I ll do the backstitch. shouldnt take to long I spent the last couple of days charting the letters till I was happy with it :D

Teacher Row is finished, I finished it a while ago but only got around to washing it today and its drying as we speak, I plan on framing myself tomorrow so I may as well wait till then, then post a pic of it framed.

This is a project Ive been working most on lately. Its Bathtime Rules by Jannlynn

The kit was a prezzie off my hubby for our bathroom, and as you can see its nearly done.

Sorry the pics are not that good, camera on my phone.
