You're obviously a very quick learner, that second back looks great, and your stitching is very neat

You have made a wonderful first project. I always say the back is the back for a reason and as long as you don't have huge rats nests back there don't worry about it.

Hope to see your finish soon and then a new start on the big project!!!!!!

Great job on your first project. I hope this has convinvced you to do more as you have done a lovely job on your pansies. Rose is right on when telling you that a back is a back for a reason. Looking forward to your final product.

That's looking great for a first attempt. Like others have said, you're a very quick learner and are very neat!! One word of warning though, cross stitching is HUGELY addictive, it can take over your life

You can get great therapy here though, so don't worry!! Welcome to the forum

Great work so far! There's a definite improvement on the 2nd pansy, so you're catching on remarkably fast. My first one didn't look that good, that's for sure. Nice job!

Your stitching is lovely and even and your 2nd pansy is great both back and front.

As has been said, it is a very addictive craft - in the nicest way possible and we always love to help be it problems, stash buying ideas - just in case you run out - and all sorts of things.

Your pansies are so very pretty!

I only hope that my first project will look as lovely as yours.

for completing the pansies. only the stems and leaves left. I think the difference on the right hand pansy is that the shades of the threads are very close (closer than the picture on the kit). I have always done a 3/4 by going from the middle to the corner and then doing the 1/2 stitch. I would think doing it the way that is most comfortable for you is what counts. I never thought of doing it the way your book describes, but that would work also.
Have you thought about what project you will do next?

I do 3/4 stitches the way you say the book says, I find they look sharper and neater but ultimately it's totally up to you how you choose to do them!

You are doing a fab job, and you are now in for it. I hope you have a spare room for all the stash you are about to accumulate...

Great job!!! I would never have guessed this was your first ever cs

Rose · Post by **Rose** » Mon Jan 09, 2012 3:59 pm

Wonderful work. I think once you get the bs worked the flowers will pop more and you will find that they are perfect.

Wow!! This really looks great and with the backstitching it's going to be perfection!!
I do my 3/4 stitches the same way you did them!!
