One more question before I start buying all my materials; do you usually put a fabric backing on your blankets to finish them or just keep the stitching as neat as possible?
Thank you! This is the biggest project I’ve ever attempted and my first blanket.

Re: Cross stitch blanket care?
Thank you so much for the responses! I think I’ll do the blanket. This is the pattern I’ll be doing and I’m very excited! https://www.joann.com/disney-dreams-collection-afghan-counted-cross-stitch-kit-29inx45in-18-count/12211892.html It’s out of print but I got lucky; I saw someone in a cross stitch...

Cross stitch blanket care?
I’ve taken a break from cross stitch recently to explore some other crafts but one of my closest friends recently announced she’s pregnant and I want to stitch her something! My original thought was to stitch a baby blanket and I found a Disney design I love (she’s a big Disney fan). However, it’s a...

Re: Snoopy pattern alteration?
Sorry I wasn't clear. I was hoping to use the already mounted aida canvas that was available at the craft store so that wouldn't have to worry about finishing it. So I can't change the fabric count. That would be my first solution if I was picking the fabric. I'm a little worried about getting this ...

Snoopy pattern alteration?
Hi all! I took a break from stitching for a while but recently started back up and have made a few Christmas gifts for friends and family this year. I forgot how fun it is! I want to make the pattern in the picture below for a family member who is a huge Peanuts fan. I had the idea to use some Aida ...

I made the Christmas goose from my stashmas gift! :whoop: I'm going to finish it to make it into a tree ornament. The beads were a lot of fun to work with. I like that you don't have to change thread out every time you need a new color; seemed to go faster than something small like this usually does...

I opened my gift this weekend and I love it :wub: Sorry I'm late in posting. I got a beautiful stitched snowman gift tag. I also got three bold colored skeins of thread perfect for blackwork, a hardanger matchbook kit, a beaded Christmas goose kit, and a card. Thank you Serinde! I admit that the har...

Re: 2017 Stashmas Wish Lists
I'd be excited to get anything! My first stashmas :dance: Not preferred :neutral: I'm a newer stitcher so complicated or big patterns would probably be too much for me right now, but I can always stash for later. Would love :wub: I'd love anything that you wish you'd had when you started stitching. ...

Re: Spring Bookmark or Card Exchange
I'm so glad everything finally arrived. Everyone's work is beautiful! I'm on vacation and grabbed a book and my new bookmark before I left. I didn't realize until I took the book out on the plane that the book, bookmark, and even my nails matched perfectly! Thanks so much for the bookmark! http://i1...

I got it and it's amazing Serinde! :wub: :wub: The picture doesn't accurately capture the different colors. Most of it is a purple/grey with some pink & blue around the squares in the middle and in the tassle. Absolutely lovely! Thank you, thank you!!! Makes me want to start reading a beautiful ...
