I know you will all think that I am mad but I have started another one. I couldn't resist this

I love this one!!!!!
I have gotten so close to getting it and now I can watch you stitch it! I am also itching to stitch this one, The Witching Hour also by Lisa Parker. I have had it since it was released, but I'm sure it will be my next new start (like I need one?). No I don't think you are mad. What's scary is that it makes sense to me!

Carole

Oooohh, I love that & the one Carole mentioned. Look forward to seeing them on here once started by both of you. I love cat ones but will not try an HAED. I enjoy watching what others do as regards those.

I love the witching hour too, I have it on my wish list. I hope to see you start that one soon I'm sure one more start won't hurt

Ooooooh! It will be nice seeing you stitch that one, Vanessa!

Beautiful! We're all mad here so we don't judge.

We're all mad, so of course we think you are, too.

Becaause of the title, I was so expecting to see the RCA logo and scrolled down to see the image. I really like that.

I agree. And that is a beautiful picture - I can't wait to see you work your magic on it.

I do hope you're doing this on black. That'll be a saving of 128040 stitches, which will more than make up for the added difficulty of the black background, and stop white pinpoints being visible in the background.

I actually do not like the title of this one. Implies black cats have a direct line to occult forces. That is patently false: They are malign enough in of themselves not to need occult forces.

Yes, I am talking about you, Fluffy.

Richard.

When I saw the title of this I thought of the dog with the old fashioned wind up gramophone!!

No I am doing this one on white fabric.

In which case, I must agree with your initial suggestion: Definitely mad.

All the best,

Richard.

I also assumed it was the dog and gramophone, I'm glad I looked!! It's brilliant and I shall very much look forward to seeing your progress.....all that black......I have one with a. Lot so you can encourage me...

Will you use DMC black or anchor? I've heard that Madeira is thicker than DMC as well. Hummm.

That would be about a year's worth of black stitching for me! I like the design though, very striking.

I bought this one as a kit from HAED and it comes with DMC

Fantastic choice lovely design can't wait to see your progress pics

I don't think you are mad, at the rate you stitch this will be done in no time

I love cats, so looking forward to seeing your progress.

Here is the first page. It's not very exciting to see because it is all just black.
