It is okay if it takes a few attempts. It may even take you many attempts, you may even find that you just don't like it after attempting but I bet you'll be proud that you gave it go =)

Thank you at the time it was a favourite finish =)

I think the higher count of fabric helped. I want to say it's on 18ct but I can't remember

This particular one is a pattern I've brought from etsy

However, I have for some projects used WinStitch or FlossCross to covert pictures into a pattern

A completed cross stitch of the character Kairi from the video game Kingdom Hearts by square enix on white aida fabric

Let's share something nerdy for this week's past finishes today we have Kairi from Kingdom Hearts

The pattern can be found on the "birdiestitching" website

I should probably get back to my current project πŸ˜†

Looks amazing! I love the colours, especially in the moon

I'm glad you found enjoyment doing this project. I hope you enjoy your future projects just as much

I remember doing 1 over 1 on 32ct on a past project. Regular breaks are certainly key, even if it's just looking up and away for a moment.

I wish you good luck and happy stitching. I'm sure it'll look fantastic

I hate doing backstitch, but I love how it can finish off a pattern

Good luck. I'm sure you don't need it, but I hope it goes well for you

It's Monday, so it's a random fact time. So far I've shared when and where I learnt to cross stitch. What my first pieces were and that I don't need my glasses to see while stitching

This week's fact is this... after the lunch time club stopped, so did I... but I picked it up again 10 years later

A cross stitch WIP of the squirtle evolutions stitched in black and blue thread so far on 25 count fabric in a wooden embroidery hoop

We've made alot of progress with this piece, and as some very clever people had guessed blastoise from the last post, you should be able to tell for definite what and who I'm stitching now

We have a finished cross stitch framed in a wooden embroidery hoop.

It shows pink and white flowers and green leafs in 2 borders with "Happy 80th Birthday" in the middle the 80 being stitched in different pinks with butterfly's on them 

The flower border is from the etsy store SoEasyPattern. 

As for the numbers and the lettering they are from a designer many stitchers may recognise Lucie Heaton (numbers from her etsy store and the lettering from her website)

So it's time to share another past finish with you all still keeping it with the flower theme we have this. I was asked by a work colleague to make it

It was made up of 3 different patterns (found in ALT text)

A cross stitch of a mystery project in a wooden embroidery hoop 

It shows black thread stitching on 25 count fabric

It's steady progress this WIP Wednesday fingers crossed I can have the first colour completed by the end of the week

Now I wonder if anyone is able to guess what or who I'm stitching???

25ct is the highest count I'll go. I've done 32ct for one project and will never go that small again πŸ˜…

It's amazing how small quirks affect the eyes of those who have to wear glasses differently
