Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

Hello again
I haven't posted for some time as my DH has been in and out of hospital and I found crafting impossible. Not only because of time, but my mind could not settle on anything. Anyway, things are getting much better and here is my first completed cross stitch for a long time.
It is for my grown--up daughter. It just thought of her, as soon as I saw the design. I hope that you like it.

A great work, Helene. Well done

I am sorry to hear you your DH has been ill, but am glad that things are better now. There are times when even stitching can't take your mind away from worries.
I don't like this piece, I LOVE it!!! I'm sure your daughter was delighted with it. It made me smile .

What a darling picture, I love it! Great job.

Beautiful stitching . I hope your daughter loves it

Fantastic finish well done

What a fantastic finish! I hope your DH continues to mend.

Thank you for your kind words
My daughter has not seen it yet. It was an easy project with lots of "block colours".
My next project is on linen, a new one for me! I now understand why evenweave is called evenweave, no thick bits in the fabric
It is fun to try new things.

That's a great picture & I am sure your daughter will be very pleased with it. Sorry you have had your DH in hospital & hope he will continue to get back to good health again. Well done on this project

I just started a new project on linen and was searching this forum to see if anybody had any thoughts on it... I am not a fan! I wanted something 36 ct, stitching over 2, and found the piece of linen. But I won't use it again. I much prefer jobelan or evenweave! I don't like the thick bits and the whole thing feels a little uneven. It's going to turn out cute, but .... ugh!

I like having an easier project alongside a more difficult one. I try to do a bit of the "more challenging one" before stitching on the one I like.
I prefer evenweave too! What is the picture?

It's a frog hiding under a leaf in the rain. It's just a small thing, to fit into a mason jar lid (so, about 3x3 inches). Super cute... IF it turns out! I'll take a picture of it when I'm done!

I look forward to seeing it, it does sound cute! ( to keep you going...)

Fantastic finish I just love that bunny
