Title: My latest cross stitch project
Post by: Diane on July 17, 2019, 12:50:27 PM
Well i started this five weeks ago when my sister died suddenly, it’s kept me sane to be honest and i just get totally lost in it when I’m stitching. Got a way to go yet.

Beautiful. Your eyesight must be a lot better than mine!

Very sorry to read about your sister.

Thanks
I use a magnifying glass as its 32 count otherwise I wouldn’t see the holes either.

I also done this embroidery a few months back, done in long and short stitch and it made a nice change to try something different.

Really beautiful work Diane.

I would love to be able to do something like that, but my fingers and eyes just won't co-operate.

Very sad news about your sister.  I'm sure you have lots of happy memories.

Thats a lovely thought, i might stitch a few small words into the corner of it once I’ve finished in memory of my sister. Thanks for the idea

Thankyou for all your kind replies.
It’s going to take a while to finish this squirrel cross stitch, I’m just doing the last bunch of flowers but they are so fiddly, single odd stitches everywhere

Well I’ve spent pretty much two days doing all the highlighting on this cross stitch

Beautiful
What will you do with it when it is finished?  Do you  have your work framed?

Once I’m done I’ll take it to a local framing shop and get it framed. I expect it will be pricey around the £50-£80 mark
