Well it looks like I have about 1200 more stitches to go and this can be washed and ironed and off to get the frame for her. I had promised an updated picture of her for awhile but every time I was going to do it, it got dark and I wanted to wait for day. What is everyone else stitching and any photos to share? Have a nice day and Happy Stitching!

That looks really great! Have you started the next one yet? I'm sure that this one is finished by now. I just wish that I could get mine finished, but I haven't even picked it up since before my trip to NY. I guess I should go in and see if I can find my needles again. Have a great weekend!!!

Yes she is on here somewhere finished LOL I am now working on two projects. They too can be found under cross stitch here. I also got in 4 new patterns and they are to be done on 25ct. I started one tonight as one of them is for my personal massage therapist. I would like to get it done for her. I am considering moving it up to 22ct. I think it would be easier on my eyes. will wait til in the morning and work on it a bit and make that decision.

I am seriously considering doing the project that you included the link to in another discussion. Only problem is that I don't understand the part about 25ct and how to determine what size of material is needed. I know you gave information on how to set up the grid or whatever, but I am so used to having a grid drawn on the material for me I don't know if I can do it any other way. I guess I should try to do a little more with the one I already have, but once again, I can't find the needle. I will have to take everything out of the bag now that I am settled into my new place and see if I can find what I need in order to finish it. Talk to you later.

What a beautiful piece. I am still working on the magnet set for a Christmas gift. I don't work on it a lot. If there is a football game or something on the radio I want to hear, I work on it while I am listening.

I got 206 stitches done today on this. Its a lot of switching out of the colors. And a lot of the colors are single color stitches so it defines the piece to look like a tapestry. But when I looked at it, I seriously thought I had done more than I did. I think I am ready to work on something else with different colors.

Coming right along... I've been taking a bit of a stitch holiday, so nothing new to report here.

Wow, I have never seen such an intricate and detailed work. Hard to believe it's cross stitch and not a painting! You are very talented!
