Re: Indian Sampler
U can resize them on photobucket if u make and account but i think there fine as they look big to begin with and then they go to a nice size. But if u want to resize them, photobucket will give u the option to do that.
No ones slow just taking there time to make things last and to do at the best they can. U have been doing a wonderful job and i love the design to. Im so glad u have decided to get back into it and u have got insparation (sp) off peoples wonderful work off here.

Re: Indian Sampler
Thank you all for the kind comments Im really enjoying stitching it. The kit is an anchor premier collection kit. I bought in when I was on a holiday in belgium, there is a poor selection in Ireland, well around where I live anyway!! Id love to find a good shop selling them!!

Re: Indian Sampler
It is a beautiful pattern and should look great when you are done. Slow or fast it does not matter as long as you are enjoying the stitching.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror
Re: Indian Sampler
Interesting design I especially love the tepees in the corner, that you are working on and the pots in the opposite corner. What you've done so far looks stunning, I agree with Rose aswell. Enjoying the stitching is what matters the most, no need to rush. Rushing can sometimes invite Mr. Thats from my experience anyhow

Re: Indian Sampler
What a stunning design! ...and you have already done a lot!
I agree with the rest, it doesn't matter if it's fast or slow as long as you're enjoying it. ...and being here in the forum you'll find the inspiration and encouragement you need...and then you'll be surprised to finish a longtime project in no time...
Happy stitching!

Re: Indian Sampler
I've got a little bit more done on the tepees I think I am about halfway through them now. Ive started using the loop method that some of you were talking about on the tips section and Ive found it brilliant. Anyway heres my pictures!! I'm thinking of getting another smaller pattern to work on as well as this one just so I won't get bored!!!
Hopefully I'll get more time on them tonight! Theres alot of backstitch to be done on them also when there finished.

Re: Indian Sampler
Like nic says, the lovely thing about this pattern is that you get sections that you can finish and feel like you are really progressing along.
Looks really great!
