Cross Stitch Cards

[smallhobbit]

I haven't had as much time to spare this month, one way or another, so haven't done any artwork.  However, I have been able to start cross stitching my Christmas cards.



Three done, one more nearly done - a repeat of the pattern on the right, which is the one from A Stitch in Time - and one more, which will be a repeat of one of the others.

So, despite being busy I'm still finding the time to do some craft.

Thank you very much.

They look wonderful! Our daughter started to learn stitching recently - I will suggest Christmas cards and snow flakes to her! She will love the idea!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. There are plenty of straightforward snowflake patterns on the web, so I'm sure your daughter will enjoy them.

Oh, those are looking great.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much.

They are so beautiful! I love snowflake designs =D

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I'm really enjoying producing something with cross stitch.

Well, it's fun and relaxing!

I've nearly finished the stitching for the 60th birthday card, just got the backstitch to do.

[smallhobbit]

Oh well done.

Thank you. It's been a bit of a struggle thanks to RL being a pain and natural light being hard to come by, but hopefully the end result will be worth the effort.

[smallhobbit]

Don't forget to post a picture at some point!

[badly_knitted]

I'll do that once the stitching is finished!

However, I have been able to start cross stitching my Christmas cards. Not a sentence I hear often ^___^

They look so pretty ^^" I particularly like the one in the middle ^___^

[smallhobbit]

I like to be different!

Thank you very much :)

They're lovely and I'm dead impressed by taking the time to cross stitch Christmas cards.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I like to spend time each day doing some form of craft, so producing Christmas cards seemed a fun (and different) thing to try out.

What lovely cross-stitch. I'm doing some for my family this year; where can you recommend getting cards and what's the best manner to 'card 'em up' so to speak?

[smallhobbit]

Thank you. I bought the cards on Ebay, there's plenty of choice there. You also need thin double sided tape to fasten the sewing in place. If you look at my earlier post, there's a discussion between me and badly_knitted about the best sort to get. (https://smallhobbit.dreamwidth.org/249257.html)
