Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

As a serial starter, I decided on a new tactic. Which involved a new start I am going to ignore everything that is sat in boxes making me feel guilty. Start a new project, and with the exception of one small exchange I have semi-committed myself to in June, no other stitching is to be touched until this piece is done. Start to finish. I thought a kit would be easier, without having to go to my stash to hunt out threads, I am less likely to be tempted by something else.

I didn't pick the easiest of designs though did I....though not particularly huge projects, the Dimensions Gold charts are monsters lol

For anyone unfamiliar, here is the beauty I picture hanging on my wall, if I ever stitck to my goal....wish me luck!!

I always did like that design from Dimensions, and in general I'm not much of a landscape/building person.

Excited to see your work on this - good luck!

It's such a beautiful, peaceful scene isn't it I am not a fan of stitching anything floral so not looking forward to that part! lol

Ooh nice one

Oh, I LOVE the pattern...I might have to hunt that one down.

Ohh, that's a nice one. Keep putting up progress pictures and everyone will cheer you on to help you keep motivated. Think how proud you'll be when you've finished it.

That is a lovely chart. there are so many different things happening that you will never get bored. And yes, keep posting updates for encouragement. It will be fun to watch this one progress.

Ooo. I want to make that one. It is SO pretty

Beautiful! I understand about the Dimension Gold kits. I have quite a few in my stash and am currently working on 2.

You have a lovely kit, I am sure with photos you will see how much you have done since the last post and it will stitch up quicker than you thought? Lots of photos please?

very beautiful project. I can't wait to start seeing your progress updates!!

That's a beautiful piece! Good luck sticking to your resolution and hope to see many updates on this till it's completion.

Oh, that's so nice!

I'm working on a Dimensions Gold kit now, and really enjoying it. If they'd make their fabric just a bit bigger they'd be perfect, but are still great.

I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing it stitch up so quickly if its your only project.

Good luck! They are monsters, but I still love stitching on mine!

Yes there will definitely be lots of progress pics - I have only done a couple hundred stitches of nothingness and I am itching to be able to take a picture lol

I agree, the fabric could do with being a couple inches larger, it won't fit on my frame so I am having to stitch in-hand, not my favourite way to work so an added challenge!

You could try basting/sewing some scrap fabric to the edges to make it a little bigger to fit on your frame. Mine is on my scroll frame so the small borders isnt' that much of an issue for me.

That's such a beautiful picture
Looking forward to see your work on it

I love this one. I did have it in my stash but knew I would nevr get round to doing it so gave it to charity. I am looking forward to your progress

That is a gorgeous design!! I hope you are able to stick to your plan... it would indeed look very impressive hanging from a wall

Lovely scene - this one will be very enjoyable to watch coming to life!
