My Motif #1 ~ Top Row Center
for my Quilty Love Cross Stitch is done!
I am really happy with how this one is working up.
I got to the center of this motif and decided o add a new color.
Green was not a part of the original plan.
I have decided I want to use these fabrics for inspiration and finishing
and I do not have a lot of DMC colors so I opened this package
of Cosmo Floss that was in my stash and used that.
The Cosmo floss feels different and I little thinner.,
but it works okay together.
I am never going to get perfection in cross stitch
but I feel my efforts are improving.
is my favorite cross stitch project so far.
The motifs are a good size and easy enough to follow
an the chart is easy to read with my bad eyesight.
My eyesight is getting worse and I have to adapt.
Things I have leaned in my return to cross stitch adventures:
1) I like DMC (which is the least expensive) floss the best.
2) I need to use large count Aida like this 10 Count white.
3) I need to be happy with what I can stitch and not worry about the minute details.
and
4) A "Snag Nab-It" tool is good to have around.
I saw this at
tool for $2.24 and wondered if it might be useful
and I have to tell you that is is very useful.
I have used to to pull out the fuzz when I needed to rip out a mistake
and it also helps to pull loose floss threads to the back!

I am going to get another one or two of these so I can always find one when I need it.
Time to snuggle under the quilts to stay warm .... brrrrr!
