Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

This project is the first one I'm making for myself. I had initially given myself til Christmas to finish it but since joining this forum you guys have lit a fire under my bottom and now I really want to get it finished within about six weeks. My husband and I are moving soon so I'm using that as a 'deadline'. A big part of this kit is half stitches so there's no reason for me not to meet my new goal.

What it will look like:


Where I'm at now:

how pretty this one is. lovely design and you have made good progress already. good luck with meeting your deadline, and good luck with your move. I'm glad that we have motivated you. I'm looking forward to your next update.

This is a very pretty one, and you've made quite a great start. I remember seeing someone else do this a couple years back and the backstitching made all the difference. Can't wait to see this progress.

What a very charming design! It make me think of jigsaw puzzles! I used to do ones very similar to your picture when I was young.

I have this one to do as a tree skirt and after seeing your piece I want to dig mine out, the colours in yours are so pretty,good luck with the stitching and moving house.

I love your work. These are the kind of projects I love to work. Pictures from a simpler time. Can't wait to see the next update.

This forum helped to put a fire under my butt also to get back to working on my projects.

what a lovely design and you really have made a fantastic start on it!! Good luck with your upcoming move!

another beautiful kit, and great progress so far

I agree that this forum is a great motivator to stitch.

I really hope the backstitching makes all the difference because it is very simplistic right now. I was worried that it would only look good from a distance. I guess I'll hold my worries til I start the backstitching. I'm glad you mentioned that!

Very pretty design.

Are you planning on doing the back stitching as you go or leave it all til you finish?

I was gonna buy this kit for ages its a lovely scene.

Fab start,

What a charming scene!

What a fabulous start on this lovely one - I have it in my stash maybe for Christmas next year. Looking forward to the updates and hope you meet your deadlines.
