And I only managed a little bit of the polar bear in the blue sweater here:
Because I decided to continue on a while with Snow Guide:
Also, I'd like to share my Mom's cross stitch with you. She has some background in sewing from high school, etc., but this is her first ever cross stitch design. She decided to jump in with both feet and start this beast:
Don't you love her pink Qsnaps? Courtesy of our visit to Thread & Eye in London, Ontario.
Now she's here!!!
She's survived confetti, dithering, all kinds of annoyances and she's about 2/3 done. She's even a little farther along since I took this photo a couple days ago. The only tip I had to give her was to anchor the thread behind some stitches when she had to go farther than a centimetre or so. I don't think she'll have pulled her fabric out of shape since she's using Qsnaps, at least I hope not.
Also, I'm pretty sure her stitches are neater than mine... annoying kind of, but I'm glad she's enjoying it and I hope she continues on with it.
Happy Stitching!

ReplyDeleteLovely stitching by your mom:) I hope your DD will soon catch the stitching bug as well.

ReplyDeleteYour mum's stitching looks great! I wouldn't call that a mini kit however. Was it in a really small bag?!
ReplyDeleteYour stitching is also lovely, I'm so tempted by the Frosty Friends still!
Glad to see you've started all the FF. Your mom's stitching is lovely and she's made excellent progress.
ReplyDeleteGreat work in the final FF.
ReplyDeleteYour mum's stitching is looking good too. What a coincidence that I've just shown an Eilean Donan castle stitch too!
Great start again on the Frosted Friends!
