Awww, I missed this! Had a lovely weekend in Big Bear with family. Lost my stitchy bug for a while but still love to check in here once in a while and see everyone's fabulous work.
Thank you for the birthday wishes!

This chart is amazing, the detail is perfect as is your stitching!

Thanks everyone for your replies!
On the doodlehead site it says 3741- cyberstitchers does say 3041.
I'm going with that one!

Hi all! Does anyone have DMC 3741? I'm going to start Universal Unity, a kit I bought on eBay. The Dimensions threads are 20 years old so I've converted it all to DMC. One color on the conversion chart doesn't exist- it's supposed to be 3741. I bought 3740 but it's darker, and 3743 is much lighter. ...

Hi, Allyn, thank you for your reply. This chart does not have a separate backstitching legend, this part in question is the edge of a raven. I've reread the instructions and suddenly it's clear to me that it should be a 3/4 stitch. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k29/marniecat/Stitching/67E6A34D-0...

Hi all! Have a very basic question that I feel silly asking, but how does one read a pattern and know if it is calling for a 1/4 stitch or a 3/4 stitch? In particular, the small "x" and "m" symbols here. Thank you! http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k29/marniecat/Stitching/9843C94...

Love it. The detail in the hair is so good!

Fantastic!!

Thank you all so much! Had a sort of easy day at work, then Benihana dinner with my husband and my good friend that I haven't seen in several months. So nice! Today my husband took the day off and we are going to relax at the beach. :dance: :toast: :wub: And no fires were set by my candles! :whoop:

I love it! That is great progress in one week.

Oh, Carole. I'm so sorry to hear this news. I know how special your kitties are to you- you did everything you could for her and gave her the best life any kitty could ask for.

This is such a kit that I started today with a 6" hoop. http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k29/marniecat/Stitching/2462316C-2B33-48AF-A519-F89B271021FC_zpsuol8kljq.jpg I know the center is obviously the easiest spot to stitch with the most room, but these kits leave you a few inches on the edges...

So cute!!

I've used a 5" hoop with those kits as well. The fabric is longer than 5" on the shorter side so it works. Good luck!

Hi all! I'm hoping someone could part with this kit or chart- copyright law states you'd have to send the actual chart- no photocopies. A friend in my stitching group was working on it when she unexpectedly passed away last year. This photo is hers- Debbie Bryant. Anyone have this in their stash and...

That is so nice. Thank you for sharing your experience with us- great reminder that there are amazing people out there- including you, David, and your late husband. to you.

This is beautiful and you are stitching so fast!

What a beautiful bird! Lovely stitching!

Here's my update for this year, LOL! Wish I had more time to stitch!

Love it! Congratulations on a beautiful finish!!
