Finish, and Caveat
Found the perfect gift for a friend (who doesn't even own a TV) -- The
Posy Collection's "I cannot live without books" bookmark. Most of it stitched up easily, simple block letters, no shading on the stacks of books. And then there was Thomas Jefferson's signature... damn near every stitch began and/or ended at a halfway spot. I don't mind piercing the Aida blocks for partial stitches (just use a thinner sharp needle), but the counting was making me crazy. If the enclosed fabric had been linen, I would've just recharted it, one box per thread, but since the kit was on Aida, that probably would've confused me even more. The good news, there's enough floss in the kit to stitch it a second time for another friend. -- Karen C - California Editor/Proofreader/Translator www.IntlProofingConsortium.com Finished 4/2/13 – "I cannot live without books" bookmark WIP: Stitchers Days of Christmas http://www.crossstitchjoy.com/catalo...oducts_id=3865 Nativity from "Countdown to Christmas" book, Oriental Kimono (Janlynn), MLI The Teacher (gift to the library), Bethany Angel (Marbek) Retrieved from UFO pile: Marbek's Snow Angel, MLI Farmers Market www.CFSfacts.org -- where we give you the facts and dispel the myths Myths, with research cites: http://www.aacfs.org/images/pdfs/myths.pdf COPYRIGHT 2013 -- PERMISSION GIVEN TO POST ON USENET AND GOOGLE GROUPS NEWSREADER ONLY, BUT IF FOUND ON TWITTER OR SEW GIRLS, IT HAS BEEN REPUBLISHED WITHOUT MY PERMISSION WHICH CONSTITUTES ILLEGAL COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT |
