Okay, its a terrible picture and its not ironed cause its way too hot to iron. The pattern is straight, fabric is just bundled up under it.
#DeathByCrossStitch by #LongDogSamplers. Stitched on white 16ct aida fabric, using approx 370 metres of black DMC thread, 6 needles used. Final stitched area is - 55cm wide and 69cm high.
This was a labour of love, a challenge, a reward to myself, part of my #MentalHealth journey.
Thats been a busy few days stitching, but damn, I need a break!
Not much to do in the main part of the pattern, then a 2 row border to finish.
I can do this.....I can! Friday is my self imposed deadline, I do have things to do the next couple of days, silly real life getting in the way of stitching!
Good morning folks, here is yesterdays progress on #DeathByCrossStitch I'm pretty much going to be doing this and nothing else for a couple of days. I know I have tons of notifications to get through, and you know I am overwhelmed with them all!
Its a rainy day here, so perfect for stitching.
Have a fab day, whatever you are upto!
Finally finished on the #CrossStitch portion of the two copies of #PraiseHim#PrayerCloth! WHOO HOO!!! Now the easy part-- #CrossQuilting! As you can see, I already started around the central circle on the Sun, so the backs aren't very impressive yet. When I'm finished, I'll be correcting the pattern, posting it to Ko-Fi (emailing an updated, CORRECTED copy to those with the unproofed version), and then on to much a much less complicated project! #ThankGod for #LightAtTheEndOfTheTunnel! 😄🥳🎉🥳🎉
Update on #DeathByCrossStitch by #LongDogSamplers.
Nowhere near where I wanted to be by now, no matter though. Fair amount done yesterday and today, taking a break again thanks to Bob the Gallstone making himself known.
Theres not much backstitch on this page of the pattern, that makes me happy! Lots to do on this page of the pattern, so I'll be jumping about all over the place so I don't get jaded with sections of it.
Haven't done any cross stitch in a while, but picked it up today to do some series watching with partner (can't watch TV and not do something on the side).
I didn't get to 24 hours on the #24HOCS but I did 12 which to be fair is about 10 hours more than I would have normally, so I'm pleased and had a nice time doing masses of beige stitches.
Next time I'm doing something more colourful... #CrossStitch
Haven't posted progress pics in a while, so I thought I'd share. This is two copies of #PraiseHim#PrayerCloth. Proofing the pattern as I go, since I was an idiot & allowed excitement to override common sense prior to posting it on Ko-Fi.
I made a decent amount of progress on #DeathByCrossStitch by #LongDogSamplers yesterday. Hopefully today I will manage to stay awake enough to finish some of the repeating pattern and fill in that big empty space. Doing backstitch as I go along on this page of the pattern. This is page 14 out of 16. My aim is to finish this by 10th May....I doubt I will manage, but I can try.
oh. my. god. i misread one of the pages as did more of the blue than i needed. do you see those bigger pokes? allll those stitches i didn't need to friggin' do. #crossstitch#BlankieOfDOOM
