Re: Roland’s work - 2023
Forgot to post an update last week, so here are both.
Re: Roland’s work - 2023
They are both wonderful. It's a shame that it will be almost a year before they can decorate a chimney. If I had the stockings you make they would stay up all year long!

Re: Roland’s work - 2023
Wow, there is such a lot of work in these, absolutely beautiful.
I agree with Carole, they deserve to be seen all year round.
I know without a doubt they will be treasured by their recipients.

The pretty kitties have my vote, but both are gorgeous!

Re: Roland’s work - 2023
I really do not like this alphabet. I’ve already had to rip it out and restitch because it wasn’t centred, now I think I’ll rip it out again, and try a different alphabet.

Re: Roland’s work - 2023
It certainly doesn't live up to the rest of that fabulous stocking, the A especially looks a bit ragged. Hope you find just the right alphabet for this beauty!

Re: Roland’s work - 2023
I agree. I'm not sure why that happens, but I think the most used of all my cross stitch books are the ones that have varieties of alphabets. I'm sure you'll find one that fits this stocking perfectly!Mabel Figworthy wrote: ↑Mon Jan 23, 2023 6:42 pm It certainly doesn't live up to the rest of that fabulous stocking, the A especially looks a bit ragged.

Re: Roland’s work - 2023
I’ve pulled Abby’s name out and I’ll have to choose another alphabet…I have quite a few.
Here is this weeks work.

Wow, it's coming along so quickly, you are doing so well with these stockings.
I agree the font didn't suit the style of the stocking, I hope you can find a suitable font.

Re: Roland’s work - 2023 pic update Jan 30
I love the designs for both stockings, animals having fun in the snow and lots of beautiful cats!
Isn't it nice to work on such colorful projects in the winter when the weather is usually so dull and gray?

Abby is going to love this stocking. I don't think she will mind whatever alphabet you choose. I'm sure you'll find the right one!

Re: Roland’s work - 2023 pic update Jan 30
Thanks.
I am working on a third project, but only one day per week. I love the picture, but it can get monotonous because large areas are a lot of shades of one colour.

Re: Roland’s work - 2023 pic update Jan 30
Bringing it to life with the backstitching. I found a nice, simple alphabet and I think it looks much nicer. I will use this one for the second stocking too.
Re: Roland’s work - 2023 pic update Feb 6
The font you chose for Abby is perfect. And the backstitching is amazing. I’m not a fan of DOING backstitching but the rewards outweigh my degree of dislike.

I agree with every thing Debby said. This is going to be a wonderful stocking that Santa will always fill with lots of goodies.
