Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

I have this project but haven't gotten to it yet. I'm going to love watching this take shape.

Thanks guy! I haven't been stitching a lot lately because it's just so darn hot. I always check the site to see what everyone's up to when I have a free moment or two while at work (like now).

I have a hard time stitching once the summer hits and it gets hot. There's something about it being hot and then sitting under a lap so I can see, which just adds to the heat, that I don't stitch a lot this time of year. I just get very uncomfortable in the heat so I don't want to stitch.

Thanks guys! I took the day off work but still had to call in for a 2 hour meeting. Whoever sent the heat for my birthday, I hope you still have the receipt. I'd like to return it. It's brutal right now. I'm melting.

I have the full sized version of this chart in my 'I'd like to start these someday list" of patterns. I'm going to love watching this one stitch up.

I finally got a picture off of my phone (unfortunately the only one I could get out of my phone was the blurry one. I took 3 but this one was the worst). Here's the final project. I will take a better one when it's framed. http://www.crossstitchforum.com/gallery/pic.php?mode=large&pic_id=7870

I just wanted to share the good news and tell everyone I finally finished this project. YEAH!!!!! :whoop: I washed it but I haven't ironed it yet but I took pictures anyway with my phone, except now I can't get the pictures out of my phone. Sorry. I'll figure it out soon I hope. I'm just really exci...

I started this project back in September thinking I could get it done as a Christmas gift for my roommate. If it was the only thing I stitch I could have gotten it done, but I worked on other things. I figure I'll give it to me for his Birthday in June. It's called 99 Bottles and it's 99 different b...

I did some looking at 123stitch.com and I found some things you might be able to work with. There's this one called Normal Family that you might be able to use just the characters and then add the name and date. http://www.123stitch.com/pictures/14-1454.jpg There's these images in Just Cross Stitch ...

This might sound weird but I don't use a needle minder. I have a needle for every color bobbin so when I'm done with the color I thread the needle in to the threads on the front of the bobbin and put it back in my box until the next time. If I finish a thread and need to start another one I stick th...

I need light. My eyes are bad that I don't think I could stitch if I didn't have good lighting.

At the beginning of the year I had to limit myself and then eventually I got to the point that I found myself very happy stitching up the stuff that I already had that I didn't feel the need to look for anything new. That doesn't mean I didn't find new stash, I'm just less likely to buy those that I...

I had to dig around the site to find what my resolutions were and I didn't do so well. I didn't frame any of my finished projects. I didn't get my WIP list down to a dozen and I didn't finish all the projects I wanted to. But I did finish Carcassonne, Japanese Beauty #1, Winter in the Village, Music...

Finally finished with this one. I'm so glad I get to cross it off my WIP list.

I never got around to taking a progress pic because I never wanted to take it off the frame because it was so easy to stitch up, so all I've got is a finished pic. It's a Precious Moments image for Japan. I think I'm going to take all the ones I'm stitching up for the different countries and make a ...

Here's my latest update on this project. It's 2 pages on the second row (they went so fast that I didn't stop for an update). My goal is to finish it in 2015. I'm still loving it and I can't tell you how great a job Skitzzzzz did charting it up. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-oWUvcq310sA/VJhjxCeAItI/AAAA...

If you see the color you want but not in the right count size you can always ask them about it. I ordered some fabric from them in a different count size than what I wanted because I couldn't find the color in my count. I left them a feedback note and someone personally responded to let me know that...

Finally an update on this one. I might stick with it so I can cross it off my WIP list. The rest is all greens and bigger chunks so it might go faster.

Yeah on the finish!

It looks beautiful!!!!!!!
