Hello!
I was operated for myopia and astigmatism, this is the reason why I've been a long time without being able to stitch. Once recovered, I start again my penchant for cross stitch.

I show you my progress on The Last Leaves, by Jasmine Becket-Griffith. I love the contrast between the white and very light greys of the bottom and dark blue of the tree, or between the black&white of the scene and green of leaf on her hair.

It’s stitched on 25 count lugana, 1 over 1.
Happy stitching!

Faces of Faery 75, Queen of Hearts and The Last Leaves

I apologize for not updating for so long, but I've been stitching in several charts and I think my progress were no enough to show you. Last weeks I have advanced and here are my progress.

FACES OF FAERY 75: The diadem and earring have a lot of confetti, but it's very funny stitching it. Stiched on lugana 25, 1 over 1

QUEEN OF HEARTS: I love it. I think it's one of the most beautiful charts on the world. Now you can see the face, and I hope to stitch very quick to see it finished. (Lugana 25, 1 over 1).

THE LAST LEAVES: The photo is not very good. Here you can see the first line of pages. Sometimes is heavy, becasuse most of it is on white (Lugana 25, 1 over 1

Happy stitching!

Angelic, Faces of Faery 75, The Last Leaves and Queen of Hearts

I show you my little avances on my charts:

FACES OF FAERY 75: I was stitching 2 over 1 on lugana 25, but I didn't like the result, so I undid it and restart 1 over 1. Now I like it much more. Furthermore, stitching is much more easy now.

QUEEN OF HEARTS: I haven't worked on this chart from long several months, so the avance is very small... but I've promise myself I'll be more regular. (Lugana 25, 1 over 1).

THE LAST LEAVES: On the last month it has been my favourite job. At the moment, most os it is white sitiching, but I'm wishing to stitch the green colour in contrast. (Lugana 25, 1 over 1)

ANGELIC: I have stitched the face. I love the result, I think it's beautiful. My next step will be hair and the hands. (Aida 2 over 1).

Happy stitching!

Angelic, Queen of Hearts and The Last Leaves

Hello

During the last months I have spent my little free time in various charts, but I have no great advance in any of them.

In Angelic progress has been on heaven, the face will be the next step.

I finished another page of Queen of Hearts.

I also started Faces of Faery 75, on Lugana fabric 2 on 1, but I didn't like the result and I undid it to restart it 1 over 1.

And fnally a few weeks ago I decided to start The Last Leaves, another design of Jasmine Becket Griffith but my progress has been very small and most of it in white colour. I'm doing in Lugana fabric, 1 on 1.

In my next update I hope to show you something much better...

Happy stitching!

How to Carry Threads
This is really easy...it takes a while to get used to though....and your back will look terrible...this you will have to live with...One thing...You will be working your 10 x 10 grids in colums...it makes it easier...
1. Start with a 10 x 10 grid..
2. Find your first symbol...and stitch all of that symbol in your 10 x 10 grid....When finished...
3. Find the same symbol on the 10 x 10 grid below it...take your needle and bring your thread up like you are going to make the first 1/2 of the X ...but don't do it...just unthread your needle and lay the thread down..
4. Go back to the first grid you were working on...and stitch the next symbol the same way....when finished bring your thread down....
5. continue each symbol until your first 10 x 10 grid is finished....
6. start the next 10 x 10 grid ....you should have thread there already for you to pick up and stitch...

Tent Stitching (Wikipedia)
Tent stitch variants
There are three types of tent stitch, all producing the same appearance on the front of the canvas but each worked in a slightly different way and having particular characteristics, uses, benefits and drawbacks. These variants of tent stitch are known as basketweave, continental and half cross tent stitches:
Basketweave tent stitch - The basketweave form of tent stitch is worked in diagonal rows up and down the canvas. The yarn on the back of the canvas has a typical basketweave appearance, with alternating horizontal and vertical stitches. Basketweave is the best stitch to use for covering large areas of canvas as it does not distort the canvas as the other two forms of tent stitch do.
Continental tent stitch - Continental stitch is worked horizontally or vertically across the canvas. On the back of the work, the stitches appear diagonally across two threads. This method uses more yarn than half cross stitch tent stitch but is more hardwearing.
Half cross tent stitch - Half cross stitch is worked horizontally or vertically across the canvas. On the back of the work, the stitch appears vertical or horizontal, not diagonal, and crosses only one thread. This method uses less yarn than other stitches but is not very durable as coverage on the back of the canvas is a little thin.
