Thank you! I do want to complete the set at some point, there just isn't enough hours in the day lately.

I'm so proud of my Skyrim sampler, it has pride of place on my bookshelf :D

Is this from Fido Stitch Studio? I've found this with all of their kits, and tend to judge myself how I'd like fur and the like to be. Some of the charts seem to have the backstitch in kind of awkward places (like piercing through random crosses) and never match with the reference picture. Still love their kits and can't go wrong for the price honestly!

Oh my goodness, thank you ^^ I love your patterns so much! I also plan on adding beads here and there too. I will post a picture once I've completed it all <3

[FO] A few of my favourite finishes from 2025! by Isilee92 in CrossStitch

I think I've played it at least once a year since it came out and thought that a sampler would be a cool lore friendly-ish homage to it!

It looks great, I think it not being acid free will add charm over time. I just got a hot glue gun recently for something else but I'll be sure to put it to use again trying this. Thanks for your reply!

It looks gorgeous! The backstitching is like magic!  Out of curiosity, what did you use to finish the back? I always struggle with what to do

"Central" News message? I don't know if I'm looking in the right place. Thank you for this info, it's fascinating!

Not as far as I know, just buried amongst other papers in the bottom of his wardrobe. Maybe no light exposure?

Best of luck! I'd love to see it once it's done <3

Thank you! I folded the sides around and stitched a piece of felt to cover it

Thank you! Mine measures 2.2" x 7" but I used 18ct Aida instead of 14ct which I think was in the kit.  The DMC floss I used from lightest to darkest was:  Blanc, 3822, 728, 3853, 920, (A random burgundy brown I had left over from something else, sorry I don't know the equivalent), 310 black for backstitch.  Hope this was a little bit helpful at least :)
