first embroidery status update


I bought this kit through Herrschners. I bought it with the intention of working it up for my FIL. I enjoy embroidery but I do not enjoy counted cross stitch. I've embroidered cute little cross-stitch kittens, which are similar to regular embroidery where I am allowed to pick my own colors. For some reason it escaped my reason that I would have to follow a chart to embroider this. Sigh!


I intend to post regular updates of my progress in order to encourage myself to continue.

  2. I find counted cross-stitch very tedious, but it does allow for very sharp details. I started a southwestern angel years ago, and she sits unfinished. One of these days!

  3. I hate when I miss important details like a color code! Hang in there, you're going to make it beautiful.

  4. It will be well worth finishing but I am with you on cross stitch. I enjoy doing all the different stitches but have not done it in so long my point is moot. I did sew twelve buttons on a comfortor last week-nearly killed me but I did it.
