Now to figure out how I will frame them

wanted to see if I like embroidery long stitch

And did you ?

Both are very attractive projects, but very different - nice to try such a variety!

You’re so kind
I did enjoy the embroidery style, but in this project I found them a bit too long to handle. I love the texture and colours that are created, so it’s definitely something I would explore more.

Both are very pretty! While, I mostly do cross stitch, I do enjoy the occasional embroidery or project with special stitches. The variety is fun and provides a different kind of challenge. Looking forward to seeing what you focus on.

Both are lovely

Your Yellow Rose is gorgeous and the seascape one most unusual. Well done with both of them.

I absolutely agree!!! Very nicely stitched!!! Beautiful designs!!

[Wise Owl]

Thank you everyone
I’ve started the Great wave! My little sister has already laid claim to it as soon as I bought it lol
I think will also start the Koi fish one soon because it’s so pretty. Bought a back issue of a magazine just to get the pattern

[Serinde]

The koi carp do make a beautiful design, so I can see why you bought the magazine explicitly for it.

[Garnet]

Two very beautiful projects and two very different projects, both beautifully stitched.

I can also see why the Koi are calling you, it's a lovely design.

Oh, and welcome to the forum by the way.

[Wise Owl]

Hi Garnet, thank you so much
Omg they are calling to me aren’t they. When I bought all the thread, it was such a beautiful bunch of colours with the turquoise and the oranges, it’s going to be so pretty.

On Saturday, started the Great wave


And today’s progression


Grey, grey and more grey! And still a lot of more grey to go lol

[Mabel Figworthy]

Good thing you've got the koi carp to inject some colour into your stitching adventures - greatstart though!

[Garnet]

You have made a lot of progress, it's a lovely start.

[rcperryls]

Lovely start and good progress too!

[Squirrel]

A good start on your latest project and it is always good to tell yourself occasionally that every stitch you put in place is one less to do.

[Wise Owl]

Yes indeed squirrel, I will need to maintain this thought lol

In the mean time I’ve done this card for someone. I felt like I needed something to complete quickly. So I totally understand now why some people have multiple projects on the go!

[Mabel Figworthy]

That is so pretty - lucky recipient!

[Garnet]

Oh that's lovely! It's a really sweet Thank You card.



If you feel the need to have some small finishes in-between your larger projects, you could stitch a small stash of pieces like this so they are ready to go as you need them

[Squirrel]

What a gorgeous little motif for a card I love it. Well Done and "yes" it is good to take a short break for something like that.

[imogenX]

These are all lovely! And your needleminder is gorgeous! Those sparkles must make up for some of the grey stitching

I love the style of the thank you card - where is it from?
