Colorful rose (Happy Forever)

Post by AngieR »

I feel like it is going at a snails pace. This is about 3 days of work.

Very pretty! Is that on canvas or fabric? Either way, it's very nice - it looks like you've done quite a bit.

Angie that is not snails pace at all, you have done a lot of stitching in a short time and it is such a glorious mix of colours too. A lovely update.

Agreed, it's a lot of work. I reckon to do up to 150 stitches a day. You have many, many times that.

It is looking nice.
Must admit I've never done a colour stamped fabric, though I heard of them many, many moons ago. It must make things a little easier than using plain fabric.

Regards,

Richard

Well that makes more sense. I was trying to figure out how you got those little arrows, and squares. :thinks:

You've done an amazing amount of work already. It gorgeous.

I started a rose last night. Hope to finish it today. Then maybe I well feel like I did something. I love the stamped ones. I get cross eyed trying to read charts.

Do you need bigger chart symbols, or just prefer not to have charts?

:applesauce: :applesauce: Very pretty and looks like a lot of progress to me! I haven't done any stamped cross stitch, but I have done some crewel stitching and embroidery which have stamped patterns. Still is a cross stitch at a time stitching, and ends up with lovely outcomes.

I like the colored charts ok but don't like the black and white ones. Just can't see it well enough.

That's the opposite of me. I find the color charts distracting.
