I started stitching on aida like I am sure we all did but then found a kit of Bluetits and that was on evenweave. I thought at first that I would never be able to do it but I did and since I have found it very hard to go back to working on Aida unless it is 16/18hpi as the finish is so much better.
How about you all out there have you also had the same.
I was a bit worried about using evenweave but tried it with a few cards and am just about finished a sampler which hopefully will soon be framed and in my gallery. I really like the result with evenweave and for a special project its the best. Not too great with metalics though and this project has quite a lot of gold and I've had real problems with it.
On a different note,I know you do alot of florals and I'm looking for something special for my parents Golden wedding next year. Don't want to do a 50th sampler. I would rather do a floral bouquet or something. Have seen a few on the web that I like but wondered if you had done or seen anything nice.

Aida! Absolutely! i have stitched a few things on evenweave, but I constantly miscount the threads in the fabric, and end up with more unpicking than stitching! lol!
Go to this web site www.mysticstitch.com and they have beautiful patterns and they even have two free patterns of bouquets
There site is fantastic
