Birds of a Feather Homespun Elegance 28ct Cashel Light Mocha DMC, CC, GAST floss |
The issue - back stitching causing the light to break (imo) funny and not show smoothly. But, if I straight stitch then the light is better but it doesn't lie correctly. So I couch. Maybe I need some lessons in timing. When to do which stitch.
The bottom birdhouse called for back stitching in 2 strands. imo, too thick and the light issues - but I straight stitched it and was unhappy. So, I frogged and tried again. Straight stitch in one strand with couching. Much better.
So happy MJ gave me this pattern. Now to have the hubster make a frame and hang this puppy up!
Closing in on another small finish. And then I think another crow pattern. It might be a Plum Street iirc. Oh, working on a SAL with Teresa. Tiny Garden Scissor Fob by Shepard's Bush. It's adorable. We will post our progress later this week.
It's nap time and I'm running late!
TTFN - (anyone going to the new Pooh movie this weekend? Planning to take Garin if he agrees to our *date*)

PS - Paula would like some feedback regarding PC Stitch and PC Stitch Pro. If you could stop by and let her know your opinions - she would appreciate it very much.

I would love to see the Pooh movie!!
HUM . . just wndering, "were you drinking Old Crow when you made Mr. Crow?" That has been known to cause a LOT of problems.
I do like the finished sampler.
Thank you for posting my question.
Don't see a mistake. I think it looks perfect!
Great work! Wonder who had the sense to choose that pattern for you, lol. Can't wait to see it framed!
I love it, way to go and the crow works well.
Be always in stitches.
I agree, Denise--I love how the crow just kind of stands out... Congratulations on a very cute finish :)
Fantastic! You're right, it did turn out for the better :o) Congrats Denise.
