Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Great progress, I admire your ability to get through a lot of the same colour. Sorry to hear about the miscounting, I did the same with mine last night and had to frog a bit before carrying on, we all do it from time to time

Great progress and such detail!

Fabulous! There doesn't look like there's many colours in these, yet so detailed. Looking forward to progress pics.

New update!



I have now completed the moon I think, this is the first 2 pages complete and a little bit of page 3 also.

Only 40 pages to go!

Thank you for all the comments :cake: I must admit I'm getting a little tired of stitching the moon now, I can't wait to have it completed and I think most of it will be done after I finish page 2. I am 3/4 of the way there. I'm very tempted to travel to her face, I want to see her come alive, but I...

Oh I absolutely adore this design, I would love to stitch this too, and you're doing a great job so far.

I love the details in this piece and I bet its so sparkly what with all the treasures and beads, can't wait to see more.

So this is around a page and a half finished, I really wanted to see the start of her angel wings, there was some confetti here so my progress slowed down a bit, but I'm really pleased with how it's stitching up so far. http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j412/missvintage78/001-2.jpg Thank you all f...

I've been cross stitching for many years, I started with really small projects as a young teenager, I'm 32 now, my mum used to do little cross stitch projects when i was small, and I used to love to watch her stitch and see the finished designs she used to do. She taught me to stitch and I will alwa...

Looking fabulous, the dragonfly looks really really good.

I have a couple of Josephine Wall charts, aren't they fantastic I am amazed by all the detail, great progress.

Wow, what a great finish! Such good charting and you've done so well

Thanks everyone for your kind words :) I'm stitching the rest of page one at the moment, and I think I am getting to the tips of her wings, it'll be so nice to see them take shape. I am craving another HAED start however, not sure which one yet, but I feel I need another project so I don't get too b...

You've made a fantastic start and what a beautiful design

New update: http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j412/missvintage78/3rdAugust2011.jpg From the size of the moon, I can really tell that this is such a big project, I knew it was big but by seeing the full width of the moon, she is going to be huge! I have nearly reached the middle of the design width...

Beautiful progress, I love this design and I admire your dedication to work through all that sky, and it must be so exciting for you now you have reached her hair

Oh that's beautiful, the frame complements it perfectly

Wow what fantastic progress! I love all the black outline and the lips look so lifelike in colour against the outline.

A great design, looking forward to you progressing with this

Thankyou everyone for such kind comments. Here's another progress pic, been working on this a lot as I'm so eager to see the picture emerge: http://i1084.photobucket.com/albums/j412/missvintage78/001-1.jpg Shame the colours haven't shown up properly in the pic though, they look like shades of grey b...

Thankyou ladies :) Stitched quite a bit more this afternoon, I have gotten to a part of the page where I can tent stitch so it is stitching up more quickly now. I decided that all the really really light colours I would stitch in tent stitch in the hope that they wouldn't look much different to the ...

Oh my, your finish is just beautiful, and she's so huge. I really admire your determination to stitch and finish this.

A stunning finish, will you be getting her framed?

I know exactly what you mean :) I find so much inspiration from this forum and the stitchers here. I love to look at what you're all stitching and finding things that I want to stitch too! Nowadays there are so many wonderful designs out there, and I know I won't stay at one project for long. I was ...
