I framed Spring Quaker myself. The frame isn’t the perfect size, but it is a lot less then paying a framer. I do like the gold with this piece of work.
A corner of cross-stitch. At some point I will either have to find new space or new ways to display my work, I don’t think I want the house to become a crosse-stitch museum. On the other hand, for all my work
, I don’t want them locked away.This is a wonderful project. Because the border is made up of the same motif repeated over and over – it is getting much easier
, also, I can now jump from side to side of the project and not have to put the thread down on the thread bed.I love using the program Markup RXP, it has been updated and now there is an Info section. How fun is this that I hit exactly the 10% marker. Btw, I’m pretty sure that I’ve put in more than 26 hours at this point….
And now, I have moved into the center of the project. I am a monogamous stitcher, unlike people who simply start 50 projects and maybe finish one – I like working on one at a time. And then, I was watching Floss-tube and someone showed a wonder Halloween project. I have now made one for Thanksgiving, Chanukkah so why not Halloween.
There is something so whimsical and yet refined about this. I don’t like super cutesy
, and I don’t like scary. So I went searching at Etsy and finally found this. You can see in the upland left corner that this was made in 2015. So finding this chart took some doing. I am no longer working on MFSE 2022 – so , using the linen and silk thread I have started the project.Since it is one thread only, it is very easy for me to sit outside in my lovely yard and work on this.
I tried to upload to both Markup and to Pattern Keeper, I had no problem doing so, but because of the nature of this old chart, it won’t recognize the symbol. So I am using Markup – because I like using the chart on my iPad. but I can’t mark off my progress.
Unlike the pattern, I’m not putting the full date of when I complete this
, I’m just putting down the year. Yes, I am loving this as well. Leah
