Cross stitch sharing time everyone. Gather round! (Can you tell I’m in a funny mood today?) I actually haven’t done much cross stitching this month, heck, I haven’t done much of any crafting this month. But I did manage to get some done over the last couple of days so I do have something to show you.
Here is where I was last time:
And here is the progress that I managed to speed through over the last few days:
It’s coming along nicely. I have managed to not snap anymore threads this time around. I’m really hoping to at least get the right hand side finished by the next update but I guess we’ll see. My sewing machine has been fixed (Thank you auntie) so I might find myself a tad distracted…
On another note: I have mixed feelings about cross stitching in only one colour. On the one hand, I’m really enjoying not having to change colours and threads but on the other hand when I’m doing the larger areas of white it can get a little boring. Ah, well, that’s what good music is for I guess.
The other lovely folks taking part in the stitchalong are:
Avis / Claire / Gun / Carole / Kate / Wendy / Lucyanne / Sue / Constanze / Debbie / Christina / Kathy / Susan
We post an update every third Sunday (time zones may vary) and you should check out what everyone else is up to as there’s some really cool projects.
looking good !

I know what you mean about using just one colour. It seems like a great idea initially but then you start to long for colour. Lots of colour LOL
Nice bit of progress there, and I’m thinking it’s going to look splendid in just the white so stick with it 🙂

I love your one colour stitching but if you get bored you could try variegated threads. That way you’ll get all the colour coordination without the thread changes. It’s win win 🙂

That’s a good idea. I’ll definitely be finishing this one in white now as I’m too far along to go back now! But definitely something for me to remember if I do a one colour again.

Jessica, I hear you about how dull stitching in one color can be, but I love Kate’s idea of variegated thread to keep it interesting.
