Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

As some of you may know, I recently started working for a firm who make Cross Stitch kits. They send me the kits and I stitch them up, check for mistakes in the chart etc, and estimate how long the kits will take to complete. The finished items are then displayed in their catalogue. Well I asked the marketing manager if I could put them on the SAL and she had no problem with it so here is the second one I completed. ( The first one had gone back before I got permission)

This one is Beehive Garden and took about 50 hrs to complete. It is on 14 ct and is about 7"x9"



I am working on the next one now, which is a really pretty wedding sampler and will post pics when I have done a bit more

Mmmm being paid to cross stitch.....heaven great stitching & lovely design

Lovely work! That's a really pretty design and getting paid for it too, you must be delighted"

Beautiful!

Wow! What a dream to be paid for what you really love to do!

That is wonderful.....getting paid to enjoy yourself.

It looks really lovely and great that you get paid to do it too plus a chance to see the latest charts etc. Do you have set deadlines to meet??

It's pretty and the beehives make it especially interesting and unique.

Thanks everyone, it really is the stuff dreams are made of... getting paid for something I love to do

Squirrel Yes they usually give me a date to have it back by. However they are generous with the time lines so I have plenty of time without having to rush. All I have to do is jot down the times I work on the project so that they know roughly how long each one will take

What a pretty design. But when you have stitched them don't you just feal like keeping them.

Maggs... I am very lucky, because the marketing manager has told me I can copy the charts for my own use, but of course I can not sell or distribute it to others.

Sounds like a good deal from here. Until you get something you really don't like and still have to spend hours doing it.

I thought you might like to see the latest project I got. it is called "Love and Marriage". There are seed beads round the border and a few in the main part, and was a joy to stitch

Some lovely work

Both projects are very pretty! You're doing great work on them!

That is a beautiful patterns!!!!!

beautifull!!!

I love the love & marriage sampler. Beautiful and beautifully stitched.
