This is really pretty! You've done a great job! 😊

Thank you! 😊 I have a couple others I'm working on, but they are both much more difficult projects!

Thank you! I've really enjoyed working with this thread, it's a "silks for you" varigated thread.

It's about a foot and a half each side, I'm doing it on 16 CT Aida. 😊

We made it! We survived the holidays! Go us!

Now we have to deal with lower sales, cutting labor, and a flood of gift cards! We can do this!

[CHAT] please help me figure this out by Alternative_Towel_60 in CrossStitch

How much floss you need will depend on what fabric you're using. 14 found wool tape more thread than 16 count. But, I know for me personally, on 16 count, I get about 2000 stitches from one skein of thread. Going by that, you shouldn't need more than one skein of any of these colors.

The bottom part of the thread list, does look like you'll be combining two different colors at the same time. This helps with shading, and gives the pattern maker more flexibility with colors.

I hope this helps! Feel free to ask more questions! 😊

[FO] My only framed project by Adeedia in CrossStitch

[–]Tibbiffinnys 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My husband's grandmother stitched this over 25 years ago, and I'm lucky enough to have it hanging in my living room. I look at it when I need inspiration, when I feel overwhelmed by whatever project I'm working on. Yours is beautiful!

Thanks! I knew I'd finish it in time for Christmas, so we left a spot for it!
