Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hello all
I'm a newby here, as I just found this forum and I'm completely overwhelmed with the huge amount of beautiful stitching
Although I have a lot to learn (I just picked up cross stitching ) I would like to share with you my little project : a 2 over 1, cross stitched on 25 count lugana with dmc thread bookmark. Most of the stitching is done with cotton but there are a few spots where I used metallic dmc (it was absolutely terrible to work with but it looks lovely )







I also wanted to share with you my little floss collection





And here is my first completed piece (the entire background was grey at the end )

I love the bird cross stitch! So cute. You have a lot of patience to do the entire background in gray. It would drive me nuts. I'd probably do it though, I'm a glutton for punishment.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Your bird and butterflies are lovely (that's a lot of grey background - did you get bored with it?). I hope you'll stick around and continue to share with us. This is a pretty friendly group.

Hi and Welcome to the friendly forum I hope you will stay with us for a long time.

Your bird one and the lovely butterflies bookmark are beautiful and very neatly stitched. Well Done.

Welcome to the Forum What a lovely bookmark, and your little bird is gorgeous! And don't we all love a collection of pretty threads

Welcome from the West of Scotland! Such a sweet little bird, and a lovely bookmark. Am intrigued by the reels on which you store your thread -- great idea if you can find them. Of course we are, as a group, terrible enablers, so you might want to source more reels pretty soon...

Hello I love your little bird and butterflies

Thankyou for sharing your picture's, I hope to see more of your beautiful work.

Really, really nice.
They are great.

Regards,

Richard

I've always loved bookmarks. Yours are superb...I imagine that the bird will become a bookmark too.

I like your little thread reels, they look so pretty stacked up like that.

Hello and welcome to the forum from South Carolina! Love your bird and your butterflies! I've never seen thread stored on reels like that and think it is a lovely way to keep them. Do you store them in a box of some kind?

Beautiful pictures.

Hello and welcome to the forum!!! I do love your projects and I really love the way you are using spools as your floss holders!! How very clever!!
