Go to Welcome strand and pick the thread about the Gallery. Our favourite orang has all the info on posting in the gallery.

We all love looking at everyone's stitching.

Someone on a different thread (Becca?) was curious about L&L. I was trying to find a reference to the new (European) colourway for Celtic Autumn, but couldn't find it. Have I imagined this?

well... this is how far I've gotten on my Snow Princess... unfortunately I've run out of most of the colours! lol!

But I will order them probably later this week, so hopefully next week she'll be back on track... until then I got lots of metalic silver so stitch on her, so I'm sure that will keep me busy!

Looks like she's going to be beautiful

Update on my tiger, this was taken a few days ago so i've actually done a bit more now

Wow! I knew the front was gonna look fantastic! He's beautiful! Well done!

Myself, I'm stitching a picture of a Christmas stocking at the moment... It's a bit of a pest, as it has quite a few fractional stitches, but to compensate I omitted the metalic threads! lol!

oh my goodness, How is it possible to stitch so much so quickly. I didnt think i was that slow at stitching, but compared to you Im very very slow.

Seriously how do you manage to stitch so fast?

I'm almost finished my V&A Indian sampler however I may have run into a snag as the gold metalic Madeira which I have been using is almost finished and I went to the shop yesterday and they are not stocking it any more

That happens all the time here not only with stitching stuff but with groceries etc. one min.they stock it next they don't with no explanation. Very annoying.
I don't think I stitch very fast. Maybe we should do a test to see how many stitches we can do in a certain time. could be interesting.

I've finally finished the picture of the stocking (curses all fractional stitches)... and I'm now stitching this Santa going down the chimney... which is a delight to stitch! No metallics, no fractional! Only whole stitches and a few backstitches!

I am supposed to be stitching a dog I converted from a picture for my Aunt, but keep putting it off (I started it around this time last year). I have recently sewn a little Santa on Roof kit I was given for Christmas, a Tatty Teddy kit I found in the loft and an All Our Yesterdays tiny kit that came with one of my mags.
I will have to get back to that dog soon!

That's what I'm busy with for about 2 weeks. It'll be a present to my little daughter's (she is 2 and a half years old) teacher. I think that the way children soul looks like whether they grown up or babyborn. The colours are shady as on an old photo, I like it as image but when I started to stitch the baby skin colour seemed to me a little bit flesh-colored and grey. I prefer fresh and rosy babies

What do you think?

The result shoud be like that

Denise · Post by **Denise** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 8:27 am

I've not stitched anything flesh coloured but i did have a x-stitch that looked more colourful on the front of the packet than when i did it...it will still be absolutely gorgeous once it's done though...you'll need to show us the finished result or put it in ur gallery....I've finally started my 'Grandchildren are flowers' for my grandparents. I'm hoping to have it finished in july...fingers crossed anyways

Tesha, I think it will be beautiful and very striking in the sepia tones. That's part of what will give it a timeless quality.

Tesha · Post by **Tesha** » Mon Apr 17, 2006 2:16 pm

Serinde, you are right, but the picture colours do not reflect what I see. I tried to make another picture with flash gun. I hope the stitched baby will not be awful http://a.foto.radikal.ru/0604/50a80fa421a0.jpg

tesha

it looks absoutley gorgeous now i can't wait to see the finished product. i wish i could do something like that but all the same colour tones distract me and it takes too long to do to one as i usually have to bread the project up. How do you do it got any hints that you can give us
