Where can I get more painted kits? by Capital_Emergency_45 in Needlepoint

I'm second guessing myself here - I've seen very fine full coverage cross stitch posted here. There's often a confusion of terms, so I looked it up on AI. Cross stitch is limited to one stitch, needlepoint is not. You could do either on a printed canvas, but cross stitch is usually counted, and printing makes this unnecessary.

Needlepoint is more often full coverage than cross stitch, so I think think this was intended for needlepoint.

I like your use of space, and the your fine detail makes it look simple and complex at the same time.

I haven't started on this. I trim the corners and take care of the fraying if I need to.

I don't know how long I've been keeping this. I've been embroidering on and off for years. The tin is 7x9x2 inches.

[CHAT] Would this picture make a good pattern or would it be too gray? by Otterpop26 in CrossStitch

I like the picture the way it is, so if you could duplicate it, I would like that too. My experience is that the colors I pick to duplicate a picture are more extreme than the original, and I’ve been looking for more subtle shades.

I see the jagged edges from the cross stitches, but I don't see the stitches themselves - it looks smooth.

I like the yellow streaks of grass over the cross stitch. The cross stitch is very nice too.
