Congratulations on a wonderful, framed piece of work! It's great to see finished works: the details appear and the work always looks so good!

Breathtaking work! It's amazing how the detail shows up: I especially love your picture of the work from a distance. It looks....amazing is the only work for it!

You stitch so quickly and so well! The detail is wonderful and the colors are so vibrant!

Richard, I'm very glad you brought that to my attention, because I've been a bit concerned about the purple myself. The pictures don't quite capture the color correctly. In reality, it's actually a dimmer shade that looks like an in-between of the original and the mock-up: my camera tends to over-ex...

I've found it a little bit more rewarding to follow the Bears this season than the Cubs (although I'm glad the Cubs ...

Hello! I'm new here: I'm from Chicago and recently got back into cross stitching. I've been exploring this forum (there are so many beautiful works here!) and wanted to add my own work. I recently started my first ever HAED! I've only ever done small pieces before and it took awhile to start this pi...

This is absolutely amazing! I'm very new to cross-stitching: working on my first HAED and worried about how the details will turn out. Its so great to see from your pieces that cross-stitch can have such wonderful detail. I especially love your 'Bentley' piece: such a beautiful dog (you can almost h...
