Link: Awwww...that felt good :) **Edited for Questions AND stitching room**
I was able to start LHN's Needle and Thread I just adore this design and the FINISH!! I am loving stitching on it-the colors are so nice to work with :) And it felt SO good to put needle to fabric :) (YES I AM A CROSS STITCH ADDICT!!!) Is anyone else working on this one?? I am looking forward to finishing it up in the next day or so and doing the finishing :) Can't wait! I just love it!!
Design: Needle and Thread
Designer: Little House Needleworks
Fabric: 32ct. Natural
Fibers: CC & DMC
Start Date: 3-1-2010
**Answers**
Fabric Edges-I ALWAYS zig-zag my fabric when stitching-I use my sewing machine and do a basic zig-zag stitch. I honestly have never stitched anything without the fabric being prepped first :)
Fabric Margins-I try not to waste fabric-so I use as small a cut as I can to accomplish what I want-I "usually" have a finish in mind for a project when I start-so this helps determine the margins. For a framed piece I *try* to leave a 3 inch margin-but for smalls I usually leave MUCH less-depending on the finish :)I may cut the fabric larger just so I have enough to hold in hand while stitching. After finishing the piece I can then use the leftover piece for another design.
Supplies-I pretty much have an LNS in my home:) :):) I usually pull everything I need for a design from my stitching room :) I am one of those people that like to have everything ready to go and not have to wait on something to come in before I can stitch whatever is calling to me :) **
Berit, your comment did not go unnoticed :) I am just not in a Q&Q mood...I am finding that the "quilt" part of it is not NEAR as enjoyable as the rest of the design was...but never fear-I pick it up from time to time just to put in some stitches :)
Thanks so much for visiting dear friends :) I just adore you all :) Please do come again :)
Love and hugs from SC :)
