Bly Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Looks great Joey! I am always impressed that anyone can finish a cross stitch...I haven't the patience. I have a few that my father did..he liked the ones where you have to count the stitches/no patterns.....think Cliff would move out if I tried one lol Anyway, very nice and I am sure it will look great framed!

Joey Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Yes Bly, those are the only ones I like too. It seems like cheating to do the ones with a background already. I like to start with a plain blank piece of aida cloth and then its great when the finished product is all your own doing It always amazes me that some men do this kind of craft. I even know of one male OFNr that told me he used to do them But I've been sworn to secrecy. Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cookslav Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Very cool, Whats the time line on one of those....you must have put in some serious hours??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 That's a rather personal question. Guess I shoulda asked if it was done by rug hooking...Cliff...no malice intended...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey Posted July 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Very cool, Whats the time line on one of those....you must have put in some serious hours??? Its hard to say really, when you only do it after work or on weekends when you're not fishing. Last year I did my wolves when I was home sick and it took me three months, doing it for about 4 - 5 hours per day, give or take. Joey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
