This is my current WIP, I started it last week. It's a birth sampler for my friend's baby, due in July, I thought I'd get it started and then all I'll have to do is add the baby's details when he's born.....and she knows it's a boy, which is helpful too
Here's my progress after around 13 hours of stitching:

If you can manage evenweave, then their better done on that. Because of the amount of backstitching it means you don't have to try and pierce through any aida blocks.

I shall definitely be watching your progress with this one. I did a Me To You Wedding Sampler and HATED The backstitch, it has put me off Me To You cross stitches lol even tho they look so lovely
Keep up the good work
I have a Tatty Ted birth sampler to do for my sister in law. Baby was born in December ! and I still havent taken it out of the packet! Think thats bad? My friend's wedding (newton law's) sampler is not yet finished and she got married in Oct 07!
