Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Wow, I love it! (especially the fluffy beard!)

I really want to try out new stitches but don't quite know where to start (other than doing a stitch sampler) but I love this! was it from a kit or did you design it yourself?

I've made quite a bit of cross stitch jewellery, such as this pendant https://ny-image1.etsy.com/004/0/7002493/il_570xN.352477637_kn5e.jpg earrings https://ny-image3.etsy.com/000/0/7002493/il_570xN.350247807.jpg Hairclips https://ny-image2.etsy.com/003/0/7002493/il_570xN.353010314_fhmc.jpg and rings...

I have two on the go, the fist is a photo that I took when out walking one day, that I've converted into a huge cross stitch (with very small stitches-28count) and the second is Ssh Now from HAED, which is a monochrome portrait of a fairy.

They're really cool! I'd love to give designing patterns like that a go! I've done a few small ones e.g. cards/ bookmarks, most of which are free on my blog. I've just listed my first ever sampler onto ebay, http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=151078375557" target="_bl...

I wrote a post on my blog a few weeks ago with some wedding cross stitch kits, I don't know if any of them might be suitable/ help inspire you.

Thanks for all the replies! It's good to have finally joined a cross stitch forum! Those of you who replied with your blogs, I'm heading over for a nosey now. It's hard keeping up with a blog, I tend to do a weekly 'Friday Finds' post and 1 other about whatever I feel like at the time. having a regu...

I will have to give it another go when the weathers good along with some trusty stones to hold down the pattern (I love being outside, a...

I always make some small mistake, and just leave it. I look at other peoples blogs and see that they've carefully drawn out the large squares for the pattern, think I should do the same (to try and prevent said mistakes) but never do, I'm too keen to get stitching. I hate starting to stitch in the m...

I've been stitching since I was a teenager, and have got even more into it in the last couple of years, even having my own craft blog! I have done some cross stitch designing, (mostly small things like cards, bookmarks and keyrings) and I've got a couple of WIP on the go, one is HAED Shh Now and the...
