Cross Stitch Cafe - stitching out of 2012 and into 2013...

Hello Girls

Hope you all well and not soaked through and blown away.

I need help to decide what fabric to do the snowdrops in - either 16hpi aida or 28hpi evenweave. I have stitched both on fabric I had in house - don't have any cream or white left, so had to use blue and I think it is ok the fabric colour as it shows off the white better in the flower.

Here is some pictures

Both


16hpi


28hpi


Sorry about size of pictures. I know the back stitch is slightly different in each - it has that BABS in it.

Thank you in anticipation - I really appreciate it.

Kind wishes,

sweetcarer

Lovely design BEG! Looks much prettier stitched up than the chart seems.

Sweetcarer-I prefer evenweave and it'll make the BABS easier to do.

Thanks for the opinions so far - I am leaning towards 28hpi myself. Meant to say earlier thank you to flowerofScotland for the magazine - arrived here safe and sound.

Evening all. A while ago someone had a link to some bookmark charts but I can't find it. Thought they might be a good addition to the things I'm trying to sell at craft fairs. I do keyrings, coasters and a few small cards. Any other suggestions??

Hi brendall I offered some bookmark sized aida that could also be cut up for key rings is that what your thinking off? Any way even if its not and you can use the aida let me know and I will pop it in the post for you

Hi Maria - I think someone had stitchd them for a competition and posted the link to one of the charts she had used. It may have been in the 2012 forum so the posted may not post on here now.

I have plenty of aida for now but thanks for the offer.

Regards

Emma
