welcome welcome welcome i can not believe how many new people are joining this forum hopefully everyone is going to learn as much as i have since i joined.
I'd like to welcome all the new members too. This is a very good forum for help, and meeting fellow stitchers. I know you will enjoy it here.
I have a question for Debbie, who is working with blended colours. Is it possible for you to post a picture in the gallery for this piece? I'm really intrigued by your description
[/quote]it makes plant life look so much more realistic.
the pattern that i am doing with all the blending is Teresa Wentzler's Woodland Faerie. there are about 70 symbols and 23 are not blended colours so maybe that will help some one

I must be the most incompetent cross stitcher on this forum
Oh, I doubt that. Anyway time spent doesn't mean incompetence. (My oldest WIP is, as you will have read elsewhere, 30 years old in July.) I started out with crewel work, but couldn't quite get the hang of little, even-sized stitches. (I was young and in a rush.) Counted work was much better, and I enjoyed tapestry. The big WIP is the last one I started, because I then discovered cross-stitch. And now designers have combined cross stitch and counted thread stitches of all sorts, so new horizons are open for texture.
We all share a wonderful craft. No, not incompetence at all.
