Cross Stitch and other stuff

Aug 27, 2011 10:44

Need to start using this more often. I just find it hard to find anything to talk about since right now life isn't made up of anything to exciting, save for the occasional hike here and there (which we did yesterday)

I did finish THIS

You posted the dragonfly image twice, and the HTML didn't work. :P But I pulled it up in another window to view them. You are very talented! I used to sew like that all the time but haven't in over a decade. I sewed with my grandma.

fixed! Thanks! Its kinda easy when you have a step by step thingie to go with but thank you :D

you should take it up again! its a nice relaxing time waster

I would, but I'm really more into playing WoW, reading, and drawing when I'm not doing the other two things. :)

heh so true! Honestly I'm kinda glad I'm not playing MMOs right now since it gives me time to do stuff like this, though I'm sure my ebbs and flows on the matter will change again soon :)

Lovely job with the dragonflies:)
I finished my two magnolia kits and I believe I'm going to enter them in the local fair next month:) I also started my HUGE project 'Savannah Romance' which will probably take me a couple of years to finish >_<
I mark the stitches I've done with a highlighter:) That's the only way I can keep tyrack of where I am!

foolonthehill August 30 2011, 03:01:28 UTC

also would love to see some of your work!

riverdance August 27 2011, 20:25:26 UTC

On the CHART ;) I mark on the chart.

foolonthehill August 30 2011, 03:01:19 UTC

Thank you! seriously this is one of those things that I was like "WHAT DO THEY DO" and now that people are telling me I'm like "well duh!" so I made some copies of the chart and are going to follow your advice :D

I used to work in lines back and forth, and as I finished a line or a group of stitches, I'd color them with a pencil or a highlighter on the chart. It seemed to work really well!

Have you figured out the most effective way of doing the stitches to save thread yet? I know some kits include directions, but I never learned til I'd run out of yarn on two or three kits. Durrrrrr, whoops.

foolonthehill August 30 2011, 03:02:34 UTC

someone told me that I should work with one color at a time, do you think this is a good idea or should I do a full line adn then then do another line and change colors up?

And tell me all your tips and tricks!

caiteydid August 30 2011, 03:23:52 UTC

I always work by color, but also line. So... I do all of the one color that's on a line in my given area, and then move down to the next line of that color, if that makes sense ( ... )
