Hi from South Australia…
Posted by joolzmac on August 1, 2009
Just had a go at inserting a picture – think it may be a bit big. This is my MW todate – I hope to have a stitching day tomorrow – daughter out of the house, husband out of the house, me home alone! Lets see how I go.
I am in awe of some of the finished Mary’s – I love the Japanese one and I also love the one that is in reds and browns. Very effective.
Cheers – Joolz

I feel like a fraud because I’m stitching on Aida cloth! The shame! Everyone else is doing linen!

Hiya Joolz,
I think your stitching is lovely ! I wouldn’t worry about the aida cloth, fabric is personal preference and aida is yours. There are many stitchers who prefer aida to linen and even weaves, nothing wrong with that.
It looks to me like you are stitching with one thread? It looks very delicate and lacy , I debated using one thread with myself and in the end went with two, you have me rethinking my decision !

Looking good Joolz, will admit I’m neglecting Mary at the moment – I really liked the medallions, not as keen on the flowery bits as you need to concentrate a lot more on counting – ask me how I know!
Am hoping to get a clear day next weekend to devote to this…

Aww Frou, I know how you feel, I too am not all that fussed about the flowers, though they sure are pretty. I have to put Mary down too, I’ve got some obligation stitching I have to work on…which is a shame ’cause I really am enjoying Miss mary.
