I'm playing this one smart, I converted it character by character xD The whole thing is 12" high, not sure on final width yet though. http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss131/Karasu_Kuro/20170509_004700_zpsk2beu1zw.jpg So first is Asbel, and oh boy the amount of threads ! http://i569.photobucke...

Well it's time for the next piece and oh boy am I being ambitious...



So I've picked out the character roster from Tales of Graces. I love the game, so having a giant piece up on the wall would be awesome.

Finished and ironed, I'm really proud of it but kinda sad that it's over lol. When it's framed I'll do a proper daylight shot instead of my spot lamp Thank you every...

Bet y'all thought I'd vanished again...but nope I just forgot to update lol



So close to the end ! I've ordered a frame for this and I'm planning my next one already !

Hooray, giant chunks of colour !

Yeah the eyes really made a big difference with how it looks. It's still darker than the pack picture but at least it's tying in and looking good !

Ahaha as you wish ! XD

I'll casually be an enabler so you do more Disney xD


Well page 2 is definitely a lot quicker than page 1 was, though I'm coming to the realisation that I'll need to buy more thread...

Thank you
It's back to the slow stage again, little odd stitches here and there so I won't post a boring photo lol

Paul I love your Disney piece ! Are you sure you don't want to add this to it ? XD it's only 4 little pages lol

Thank you everyone ! It's actually coming together now, I'm surprised at how well the terracotta blended. Elsa nearly has a face ! And my needle minder came through so of course I had to show that too http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss131/Karasu_Kuro/received_10156025586674377_zpsw62zpaes.jpeg

That's it, I've officially given up questioning the colour choices lol.
Whatever happens, happens.

I've made a decent start on the second page now ! Glad my sewing speed has stayed good despite the long break I took lol

Thank you everyone ! I'm still pretty surprise that they picked pink for Elsa's hair, but at least it's a subtle pink lol. There's no back stitching on this, but I might add some when it's finished. I'll see how it all looks when it's done and decide then, if finishing the firat page is anything to ...

Wow, looks like I took a longer break than I thought >.< Well I picked this up again, and adyer taking sone time away from it I'm happier with the colours. They still aren't brilliant but the whole thing's started to work together. So here's my progress : http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss131/Kar...

I have officially lost count of the hours lol. It's looking....odd. For some reason Anna's face is done in terracotta and her hair is now mauve. I'm not sure how well this will turn out, the colour choices are bizarre and it doesn't look like the "finished" image on the pack front. I may w...

Thank you ! She was such a great teacher, I learned how to knit, cross stitch and sew from her. Every weekend we'd work on something together. She's the reason I ended up doing textiles at school and can now make my own clothes. I even picked up her "sewing in the kitchen at 3am" habit lol...

Hit the 13 hour mark.... http://i569.photobucket.com/albums/ss131/Karasu_Kuro/Mobile%20Uploads/20160708_054256_zpsow7jbdjd.jpg Pretty pleased with my work since it's been around 21 years since Nan taught me. Though I'm not sure how well my thread consumption is going. Might have to get more towards ...

I'm so glad it's not just me ! It has been getting looser as I've been working on it, mostly the corner I keep hitting with my wrist though. So far I've put about 6 hours into it....I marked every 10 stitches so I could see where I'm going as I know I'm out of practise. The red ones are the centre m...

Thank you !
I'll keep powe ring on with my hoop until I get a bigger project then, it should be fine for something this small since thankfully I don't have to move it much.
And thanks for the image help, I'll fix that up in a sec !

Oh wow what a big project to get back in with ! Makes me feel better about mine xD.
I've started a SAL here : http://www.crossstitchforum.com/viewtop ... =6&t=28807" target="_blank so I can update with my inevitably slow progress lol.

Thank you all for the welcome <3
