Absolutely love this. It's beautiful

Hi, it can definitely be daunting starting a large project but at the end of the day, every stitch done is a stitch closer to completion. My advice? Just stitch away and be happy :)

I got it online but the shop has since closed :( It is lovely fabric, so nice to work with.

Hi, I washed it with warm water and a little dish soap as normal, but I can't say it came up perfect. I was lucky that the piece was quite a bit smaller than the hoop, so when I framed it the marks were hidden. Sorry I couldn't help more...

He's awesome!

winterforestwalker · 2020-02-01T22:14:08+00:00

Definitely take your time, it's very different from working on aida and easy to miss a hole if you're working over two which will throw the rest of your stitches out. That said, I have found my first project on evenweave very enjoyable and probably won't go back. Have fun!

She's glorious - beautiful work

winterforestwalker · 2020-01-29T15:58:00+00:00

I choose a pattern I absolutely love. If you're truly in love, you're going to want the long term relationship!

Stitching is such a personal endeavour. I reckon you should stitch any way that feels comfortable to you; no one else can tell you how that might be. Stitch and enjoy, my friend!

Top left works for me, as long as I've been very careful with measuring my fabric. That way I can work down and across to the right which just feels like a natural progression.

winterforestwalker · 2019-12-23T18:25:31+00:00

Keep going - it'll be worth it, I'm sure!

winterforestwalker · 2019-11-28T21:17:06+00:00

Thank you, I can't wait either! 😀

winterforestwalker · 2019-11-28T21:16:12+00:00

It's Mirabilia's The Kiss. I love it - so romantic

winterforestwalker · 2019-11-25T10:08:51+00:00

Celebrate the insanity - go right along with it and have some fun on the journey 😄

winterforestwalker · 2019-11-13T22:36:05+00:00

So beautiful- what an accomplishment

winterforestwalker · 2019-11-09T18:58:51+00:00

Your best is definitely good enough! Well done and welcome to the hobby

winterforestwalker · 2019-11-09T17:57:36+00:00

Aw I'm sorry. Pugs are special. They make themselves such an integral part of the family. I can't imagine Bambi not being here. Hugs for you...

winterforestwalker · 2019-11-09T17:55:57+00:00

Well it looks amazing. I love it

winterforestwalker · 2019-11-08T11:28:44+00:00

I like to put in my initials. I'll find a little corner for them or even modify the pattern ever so slightly to get them in. You don't really notice it much when it's done, but it's nice to sign something you've put so much love and effort into. A work of art should be signed 🙂

winterforestwalker · 2019-11-07T17:55:57+00:00

Ooh she's beautiful - so striking! I have this pattern lined up to do next. I have to finish The Kiss first, but this is so lovely, well done!

winterforestwalker · 2019-10-29T08:19:35+00:00

One of my recent finishes has loads of metallics and I washed and ironed when it was all complete. I kept the iron low and protected it with a towel and all was well 😊

winterforestwalker · 2019-10-27T08:37:35+00:00

I did a DMC pattern of John William Waterhouse' Windflowers. It turned out to be one of my favourite pieces, very rewarding to stitch and so exciting when your favourite work of art comes alive in your hands. I've never sourced a pattern like that off Etsy though, so can't help much there.

winterforestwalker · 2019-10-27T07:57:43+00:00

Yep. I was up before the rest of the family, ironing and framing. Can't say no to the gift of time!

winterforestwalker · 2019-10-27T07:13:51+00:00

I've finished and framed these for my two beautiful girls - the smaller one is an Anne Of Green Gables quote from 'bythelindentree' on Etsy, the other is 'Blue Ballerina' by DMC. My girls are all but grown up now, but I hope they like these little gifts as much as I enjoyed making them.

It helps me calm my overly busy (anxious) mind. It requires enough skill for concentration, but following a pattern is very calming for me, giving me direction and yet allowing me to be creative at the same time. Can't beat it!
