Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hi everyone.

Complete newbie here. I'm Rachel and I'm stitching Marta Dahlig's Sloth charted by HAED.

Here's what she'll look like when completed:



And this is where I'm at:



I'm so sorry for the huge pics, i don't know how to make them smaller!

Welcome to the forum.
Don't worry about the size of the pics, they are great.
Sloth is looking fantastic already and I am eagerly awaiting updates.

oh she looks great!

Welcome to the forum Rachel and enjoy stitching Sloth as shes gorgeous

Ooh, you've started with the face, how wonderful to have her looking at you right from the start!

Welcome to the forum! Lovely to have a new member and fellow HAED stitcher. You've made a great start on Sloth, looking forward to more updates.

Hi and welcome.Great start.

Hello and welcome ^_^

I love her deadly sins series. I watched with eager anticipation as she completed them and uploaded them onto DA. Nice to see them in stitches too now. You've made excellent progress!

As for picture size...I wouldn't worry too much, you've probably noticed by now that the forum resizes them to fit the age after it's loaded...But since you mentioned it...
I see you're using Photobucket as your host server (where the image is actually saved). Once you upload the image to photobucket there are several thngs you can do with it, including resize it. Simply click edit.
The best forum image size is 500pixels wide.
You can also do a lot of things with it, so it's kinda fun to play around with ^_^

Hi and welcome. Sloth is my favourite one of the 7 Sins series, I've recently ordered the chart She's looking fantastic, I love her eyeshadow!!

What fabric are you using for this? Also is it tent stitched?

Hi everyone, and thankyou for the warm welcome

Angel, thankyou for the resizing images tip, I shall definitely try it.

I am tent stitching Sloth on 25 count lugana and using 3 strands of DMC. I thought it would be bulky but its great and gives really good coverage.

Burgundyice, Sloth is my favourite too, but love them all. I noticed you've nearly finished Queen of Hearts. I have her kitted up ready for a new start in the new year.

Thanks everyone!

Hi Rachel and another welcome to the forum. I think we've got several of the seven deadly sins on the go in the forum at the moment - they are spectacular and I'll really look forward to seeing your updates on this

She is really lovely to stitch, will be fun to see her appearing again!!!
Your coverage on the 25ct is great by the way!

Hello

Fabulous project

YAY another one!! I am working on Wrath at the moment and I own this one too (well I own almost all of them!). Great start! Really looking forward to seeing more of this!

This is a gorgeous design! I personally love to see it in large size! You're doing great so far! I will enjoy watching this develop

A lovely project and a great start
