Hi there, Newbie. Welcome from les Iles de la Madeleine, Canada. Wether stitching large or small, there is joy in every stitch. (Except in the ones you have to rip out.)

Now I'm pulling out what ever remaining hairs I have...but I like the idea of putting a metal edge and some spacers around and in between the...

Hello, I'm working on a project measuring 635 x 444 stitches in 18 aida. It is a watercolour conversion of an Anton Pieck painting into cross stitch. Originally it was 650 stitches , but that was too big for the piece of cloth I had. As it is at 635 , it takes up the whole width of the cloth: no roo...
