My WIP!

Post by alj62511 »

These are my works in progress. They are also my very first projects, I haven't been stitching that long!

Image
This is batman!

Image
This is my Annabel Lee. My first project ever! Its almost done, but I don't really like it because the colors are no good.

Image
This a teddy bear wreath.

I'm also working on an afghan, but I literally just started it and its not much to look at yet.

Constructive criticism is welcome! haha

Hi & welcome from Florida!

I love all your :wip: s/completed masterpieces. Your baby is sooooo cute! I know what you are saying about the colors...all the computer programs for charting photos do that to me, too....but there is one gal around here who has made some pretty AWESOME charts for folks...look for skitzzz [I probably spelt her name wrong, AGAIN]

:applesauce: What an adorable baby she was. I'll bet she is as cute a toddler as ever was. I tried to make a chart of one of my grandson's and the colors were about what you got. It takes a lot of time and patience and talent, I think, to tweak a chart so it looks right, no matter how good the program or app you are using is. Diana mentioned skitzzzzz, a forum member who does an awesome job of converting photos to charts. The results are always amazing. You can find her thread in the Sell or Trade section. The title is "Cross Stitch Charts for Sale"
