My very first cross stitch photo upload!



Hi,
And here it is! My first photo uploaded! This is my current project, Adele Welsby's Knot Garden in blackwork. I have stitched it before, once on pink fabric in burgundy stitching and once on green fabric with dark green stitching (photos to follow in my gallery of finished projects once set up) but this time I decided to use the basic pattern in two colours and add two more borders. However, I have now decided to change it again and make it three borders including one of beads. So am presently unpicking the wording and repositioning it to insert the extra border. So watch this space!

  1. What a pretty piece. You must find it an enjoyable piece to do since you've done it twice.

    Welcome to blogworld! It looks like you have a great start here! Nice color combinations and easy to read. It's a great blog and I'm your newest member! I'll be back soon.

    1. Hi Linda!
      Welcome to my blog. It's so great to see that there are like minded people who 'pop in' to see what I'm doing, especially as I don't actually have any friends who are as keen on stitching as I am. So thanks for your support and glad you like my blog design!
      Yes, I do love this chart, it's so pretty and effective and as with all blackwork it grows so quickly! I'll put on more pictures as I progress with this piece.
      Look forward to you visiting again.

    1. Hi Emma,
      Thank you for your welcome!
      Just had a quick look at your Creative Corner blog and had to laugh because I orginally chose that template too, before I found this one! Great minds definitely think alike! You have stitched some lovely stuff so I will be heading back there soon for a better look. :O)
