Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I thought I would have a nice relaxing break now my stargazer is finished and have a go at a small project. I posted a thread a while ago asking if anyone knew of any nice scottie charts that were not the little ones that are on the bookmarks. Well Rosemary came through for me and kindly sent me a set of three charts from World of Cross stitch of tartan terriers, there is a scottie, a westie and a yorkie. Luckily my in-laws are obsessed with scotties, my aunt has just recently got a yorkie and some very kind folks who gave us a range cooker for free are westie mad so I will be stitching all three at some point this year to give as christmas gifts.

Anyhoo I have decided to start with the scottie for my in-laws.

Here is what he will look like




And this is what I have done so far...



I'm really enjoying stitching this, the 14ct aida is much easier on the eye than the 28ct linen I used on my last project and floss is sooooo nice after doing tons of beading with invisible thread, and don't get me started on beading needles !!

What a cute design!! Well done to Rosemary for sending you the designs and I definitely will be looking forward to watching your progress on it! So glad that you are enjoying stitching it up

There are going to be lovely presents. That Scottie is as cute as cute can be.
good start

That is adorable! Can't wait to see your progress

They are such cute little dogs and your project is going to be so loved when it is done I am sure. Well done Rosemary for coming through with the charts for you.

Not sure I like the sound of stitching for Christmas though, brings it that much closer.

He is sweet!!!!!!

That's a very cute design! Lovely that you were sent just what you needed!

This is so, so cute!

I'm dog crazy and I can't wait to see your Yorkie project because I have a little darling myself. He even wears a tartan collar. It's kinda Burberry to match the color scheme of his hair.

Very cute You made a lovely start

adorable, they'll make great presents!

Very cute!! I've always wanted a Scottie Dog

ohh one of my colleagues would love this one, as he has a scottie, very nice.

Aww I love this design, you have made a great start! I love terriers (I have a Cairn cross) so I look forward to watching your progress.

Very cute pattern! I only had small patterns too, glad you found a larger one.

So cute I can't wait to see more

Thanks everyone for your kind comments
Wow this seems so quick to stitch! Five days in and this is where I'm up to. Having said that tho the magazine says it should take two weeks to complete all three!! Don't think that's gonna happen unless I stitched for a living!!




For some reason my camera keeps showing up a little orangey yellow hue on the aida....it's not really there tho...honest My aida is ice blue really, more like the colour in the bottom left corner of the photo. I should really take photos in the daytime but then again I only really stitch in the evenings so I don't really get round to doing it

aaahhhhh he is so cute!!!!!

He is such a cute dog. Doesn't matter if the photo is off a little bit. My photos are never right either. But that sure seems like a lot get done in 5 days.
I can't wait to see the others.

Such a cutie

How adorable!
