Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi everyone, this is my first post!

I'm very new to cross stitch and only started this year. I've been on here for a few weeks now reading everyone's posts and seeing some of the amazing projects you are all working on.

So far I've completed a baby sampler and an anniversary sampler but forgot to take pictures of the finished articles! I'm working on another baby sampler at the moment but will be glad to see it finished as I'm not enjoying it too much at the moment. To keep me motivated I decided to stitch some xmas cards. Hopefully this picture will work - quite pleased with myself for a first attempt. I can see a few bits I'm not happy with and could have improved parts here and there but imperfections add to the home made look and hopefully they will be appreciated!



Hoping to get a few more finished in time for xmas and then I can start on my new project which is a lovely chart Skitzzzz helped me with.

Look forward to getting tips and advice from more experienced stitchers!

Hi and Welcome Dorris from Australia.

Your cards are really great and you have sure done more than I have this year. I must admit cards are good for when the main stitching piece is not going right.
