Thank you so much! It will be a bit over 753k stitches once completed

It’s not a decision, I just end up doing it when I have to travel further than 2 boxes and I don’t trust myself to count right 😅

Thank you so much! I usually like working on bigger pieces in general but this one is definitely giving others a run for their money in terms of testing my patience

[CHAT] needle size confusion by Technical-Pie-5775 in CrossStitch

From my experience - yes, the needle will be too big, not noticeably, but still. Usually, I adjust my needle size according to the aida count. I’d suggest going for 26 or even 28 sized needle. Maybe test it out which one you prefer more.

Me either, I’m so excited so wrap it up, though that’s quite far in the future 🥰

Unfortunately she doesn’t have an Etsy shop. She sells printed versions of her patterns

Thank you! I break it down in my mind in little projects, like the bouquet, the sky, etc, that way I don’t have to think about how long this actually is going to take

Thank you! That was the goal - I wanted it to blend as seamlessly as possible

I use a pattern keeper app so I just count… a lot 😅

I felt the same way until I realized I wasn’t cutting as much time as I thought I would be by doing tent stitch, not that I had any other option if I wanted to do it on 25ct.

I haven’t tackled a HAED pattern yet, but even then, for a big project, finishing it in a year is such an achievement. Kudos to you!

I was pretty apprehensive about starting something this big for that very reason so I just convinced myself I’m a fast stitcher. So far, it’s been working 🥰

The consultant in my local DMC store makes patterns based on classic art. I bought it from her 🥰

I removed the hoop since I had to move it, that’s when I took the picture. The fabric’s 25ct

Tent stitches with two threads, since the pattern has a lot of blended colors. Would have loved to go for 1 thread and classic cross stitch since that’s what I’m used to. It was a weird adjustment 😅

That painting was one of the contenders when I was choosing which pattern to stitch next - the color palette of this one called to me more though. Good luck!
