chesilbeach Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It does look lovely, Inver, but the back stitch would drive me mad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 That is a great design Kell! I'm not brave enough (nor rich enough lol!) to try a HAED I got her on sale when they did an uber low price. I think I got her for about $5 or something like that- I opted for the download rather than the snail mail version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 It does look lovely, Inver, but the back stitch would drive me mad! Actually I quite like getting to the back stitch stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I love HAED site Kell, I used to do tags with paid artist tubes and most of them are on that site including the one you are doing. I really love that one. I have finally finished my wedding stationery project and have delivered it already before I realised I didn't take any pictures of them. But now I can get cracking with my Sleeping Bunnies again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Taking two projects to the framer's today - Charlie's Falling Star and the Mother Nature birth sampler I stitchedfor Xan: And here's a little ATC I did for an Easter exchange: And 2 soft cubes finished for twin girls. Loads of pictures, so see the album HERE. Edited March 27, 2010 by Kell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angel Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Well done Kell - you're really knocking out the projects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 They're mostly really small things so they don't take very long to stitch. I have a few larger projects planned though and I'm half way through quite a big project - an ABC afghan for Xan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inver Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Wonderful work Kell....you will be opening a shop soon! Where did you go to get frames for them. I have used the one on Rosemount, Belvidere Gallery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I went to the little framer's on Cotton Street, down at the beach. It's a tiny little place, but I was recommended her and when I phoned round originally (which was last year, for another piece which I ended up not getting, but that's another story and not mine to tell), she was the only one who was a) open and said they framed cross stitch.

Lilywhite Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I've made a start this weekend on one of my advanced patterns. I've only done about 90 stitches so far so I won't post a progress pic just yet. I was going to wait until I'd finished my current Tatty Teddy project but I couldn't resist I picked up a larger frame to hold it in but it's being quite difficult at the moment. I've started in the middle so there's a lot of excess aida either side and it's all stiff as it's new I suppose I'm still learning so I'll find a way around it.

Kell Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 I finished stitching one of my own little designs for a birthday card for my step-mum tonight, and started stitching my latest design - Baa Baa Blackwork Sheep to put in the hallway.

lexiepiper Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 I'm really pleased with how mine's coming along Although it's just corner shading so not really much of an image so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kell Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Just finished a little birthday card for my Step-Mum. It's one of my own designs stitched on 14-count white aida in Anchor 8 and 31. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kell Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 It is - I'm like the stitching version of the old woman who lived ina shoe: There was a young(-ish) Mum who lived in a shoe, She had so many stitchy projects, she didn't know what to do!

Weave Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I am really sorry if this is the wrong place, Kell, I could not find your own personal blog for cross stitch This is the lovely card I received from Kell this morning, I took it as a good sign because Kokeshi dolls are good luck, and I got good news today, thank you so much Kell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shin Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 What a lovely gift Paula and Kell what excellent work, well done hun. Loving the ideas.

Shin Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Here is my progress on the Sleeping Bunnies Birth Sampler. I haven't done alot since a finished the wedding stationery. I don't know what it is but this project is not exciting me at all. But I have promised my sister in law that I will finish it for her wee one. It will measure 11" x 14" when finished and my next project will be a Winnie the Pooh one. It is smaller than this one and one I will look forward to doing. It is also my sister in laws preferred piece as she is doing my nieces room up in Winnie the Pooh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
