I am new to the world of stitching and have been browsing various blogs to try and gain some knowledge and get some tips / ideas. I originally started with a stamped, then counted “kits”. I’m working on my 2nd chart and have noticed some big differences in floss types and quality.
My Cross Stitch Mentor has told me that I’m ready to graduate from Aida, but I really like Aida. Maybe it’s just beginner’s comfort???
If you would answer my question… What type of fabric or fabrics do you prefer and why? Brands and counts?
Linen seems to be so popular.
I would appreciate any advice, thanks!

I love it when you share photos of Nathaniel, he is such a sweetheart. : )

Your stitching is coming along beautifully too – I don’t know where you find the time! Now that you’ve got the border of MST out of the way the rest of this project will be so much fun!

Looking good! I’m sure filling in the design is the best part of the design!

And Butterfly Rest is lovely!

Well done on completing the border. When I’ve stitched designs with a border I always stitch that first, there’s always that fear that the edges won’t join LOL.

Lovely stitching. I bet it feels great to have all the border done. I think borders are usually the worst part to stitch.

Nathaniel is just like my daughter, all the books must come off the shelf.
