Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hello ladies, Thank you for your replies, I feel so relieved now that I am not the one :D. Your choices will be mine :dance: @ RosemaryH: As my friend's name is the same as yours, I have visited your gallery right after your response and really loved your rosemary work :applesauce: . I found the sam...

Hello ladies, I am trying to find a nice rosemary pattern to stitch for a friend. I've found some Herb booklets online and now have to choose one, but (as a foreigner) I just know that rosemary has long narrow leaves and purple/violet flowers, in these patterns I am not so sure where rosemary is. Co...

Hi, I make cardboard bobbins myself, because it doesn't cost anything but time and I can customize dimensions as I want to fit in the containers (if they are not standard ones), one more minor reason: the cardboard is one side black, one side white, so the whole lot of floss looks great to me either...

I like this place a lot! Thank you all!

I admire that! Well-done Agi.

So in this case Dude, should be a HOT YOUNG guy to get involved in the relationship . You are probably not young but definitely hot in here!

OMG superb Jilly.... I had no clue

To me beyond the beauty of the works when finished, especially when they are gifts, cross-stitching really helps me be patient and careful. Also when I cross stitch, it is really a relaxing time and I almost forget all blues. The only thing is that, we don't have enough time to stitch when we are yo...

I know that there will be this question. That's why I said "Russian sites" because honestly I don't know Russian and although I believe that copying those instructions is okay, I cannot assure it. It came from a friend who studied in Russia and she forgot to put in the links, otherwise I'd...

Different ways to do:

I found this site, similar rules to mine, even easier to understand so I am removing my crazy instructions tomorrow :D http://www.needlework-tips-and-techniques.com/reversible-cross-stitch.html These are some more double-sided works: Mine (just small motifs): http://i99.photobucket.com/albums/l318/...

I love that you love it! Here come the instructions.

Firstly, the perfect back examples:

Thanks Alyson, you are soooo fast to comment! ... and I wonder whether we have instructions for perfect/neat back in the forum... If not, I can post them in :) One more thing, I am a new cross-stitcher (less than 1.5yr experience) and I mostly work on small patterns, so... if I can do it, this is re...

I think you have yet talked about this. As I have a double-sided bookmark which many would think that it has a very neat back (like those of many of yours), I would like to post it up here to have bigger picture, so that you can see a new way to stitch things like bookmarks, napkins, towels... in ge...

Amazing!

Grandpa, is it too late? I really want to be there, the foods "sound" delicious and I love Shania Twain. But I am preparing for a 3-month trip to New Zealand, not sure if I can come. I will send in Carlos Santana and his guitar anyway. This is for you DRose, and take care. http://i99.photo...

Oh oh, thanks. When I read mags' post, I didn't know it was about mine. Looks nice, and 4KB, that's it. I will ask Alex for my new avatar someday.

Excellent riddle and answer. Serinde, you answered Monday's riddle in Sunday night, right? Wowwww.

OMG, I thought England is 7 hours after but actually 7 hours before.

I was too busy cropping and resizing my pictures to build my gallery, and when I get back to this topic, there seems to be a lot of fun here. Needless to say but I didn't mean - at all - that what you were talking about was neither interesting nor helpful, honeys, what I meant: - No matter British o...

Lucky you! I've lost my needle all the time and sometimes couldn't find them anywhere, especially when they are dropped into the carpet. Fortunately they are not sharp! Maybe next time I should use the fridge magnet

I wonder how your pony doll looks like also.

Very beautiful work Rose. Nice colors and big size, too. Seems like you're gonna finish it next week
