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!
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.
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.
Got started on page 13 of the pattern. How apt that a little bunny has appeared, just in time for Easter!
I'll jump about all over the place with this page, lots of repeating patterns and that bores me....it will get done though. I have some motivation.
Okay, so here's what 3/4 of Death by Cross Stitch looks like. This pattern is huge, I had to get the tall teenager to hold it up so I could get a picture.
Death by Cross Stitch is the name of the pattern by Long Dog Samplers. Thread is DMC 310 and the fabric is white 16 count aida.
60 little shapes done in backstitch.
Thats a decent amount of backstitching this morning.
I love backstitch but will be glad to get back to normal cross stitch!
Its move the hoop time - again!
Currently stitching page 11 of the pattern and hoping to move onto page 12 in the next few days. There are 16 pages to the pattern, so I'm getting there with it, slowly!
