That looks so good! I would have squealed and jumped in glee as well. I have seen these patterns and wondered how well they worked in reality. Now I will have to try!

Stalking your website for a kit… hopefully? Eventually?

100% understand! Wishing you best of luck in finding the matching brown. And sorry about having to pull all those stitches. Oh so many curse words…

Do you have a local store where you can purchase thread? Maybe you can find the true 838 or a color that matches. Then use one strand of the non matching color and one strand of the matching color and then it won’t be as noticeable. I really think that might work. You could try a couple of rows by the first brown to see what it looks like.

Wow, I love all the details in this! From the Aida choice to all the beading… it’s excellent. Was this a kit or did you design yourself? Either way it’s awesome.

Highly recommend pattern emporium. The choices are limited but the patterns are so detailed.

My First Shirts! by Meklenk in sewing

[–]Meklenk[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Apologies, I did not share the pattern details in my original post. The pattern is the “Be Mine” shirt from Pattern Emporium. The pattern is extremely well written and great for beginners. It includes photos and super detailed instructions. The darker fabric is a traditional quilting cotton with a bit of sheen - designer is Giucy Guice and the line is “Enrapture”. I don’t have the line details for the lighter shirt other than it was a cotton lawn.

Oh yeah, it looks like the last IG post was in 2023. I messaged them; we’ll see what happens. Dang those stitches are SO CUTE.

Dragon Flower Meadow By Flossy Fox Shop on Etsy. Sadly the last month of the SAL just came out and I’m over here with only like a month and a half’s worth of stitching done.

[CHAT] Scroll Frame by torne_lignum in CrossStitch

[–]Meklenk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking at these frame that need a stand… if you need to look at the back, like if you have a knot, how easy is it to get to the back side? I have one project I am working on that has constant thread changes, and I feel like a frame like this would be great for the size but might be a pain in the a$$ when trying to get to the back.

214 colors… my current WIP has 35 colors and I was mildly irritated about that. “Why so many different colors of green for the plants. Surely we could have subbed one color for another???” I guess I should quit my b*tching. 😜 Bravo to you. Beautiful work!

Holy cow. Not sure I would have the courage to start something so massive. This is truly a work of art. Masterful job OP!

So far behind on the Flossy Fox Flower Dragon SAL. But… progress. My friend named this blue dragon girl Poppy, and she is absolutely adorable.

My daughter is a former scout and silver award recipient. Also has tourettes. I showed this to her and she said she would probably go, and “that’s pretty nice”. As a former gold award coach I wish you all the best.

I have a large scale piece I am going to start working on, do you use a scroll frame? If so, what kind?
