I didnt know it would take so much time to find out my aunt and uncles annivesary date. No one in their family knew. I even called my uncle and he wasnt sure. At my 2nd cousins house warming, she asked and got me the date of their wedding. I was beginning to think Id have to send it with just their names.

The sampler is from My Big Toe cross-stitch designs. It is stitched in 32-count cream Belfast linen with Gentle Art Sampler Threads (Mountain Mist & Raven). The pattern comes with 4 color choices so you can use whichever one suits you -- or the recipients.

I received this on Wednesday and worked on it this weekend. Repeating motifs give me trouble because I get off track. That meant ripping out stitches and doing it again. I should have been finished, but at least Ive made progress.

This looks great! It will be a very appreciated gift, I bet!
Dont worry about ripping out stitches. It happens to me, too. Especially with monochrome patterns. You only need to be patient. But the result is worth it!

I feel like Im the only one who makes such mistakes. Nice to know Im not alone, even if it means I feel sad you have to rip out stitches, too.  Details Reply Post time 2013-9-9 17:27
