Hey there! August is almost over and autumn or spring are right around the corner. How has your week been? Did you get much stitching done? Did you start a new project?

That should be really interesting! I especially like the enchanted forest one! How are you going to combine them?

[–] frickineh@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm using the forest one as the border and the bear in the middle. I just cut off the flowers on the left side of the bear and added a second back foot because I liked how it looked better. I'm making a few adjustments to the colors to make everything work together, but it didn't require much there.

I really like that border, and I'd like to try it myself, but that kind of embroidery seems way more intimidating compared to cross stitch lol

I feel the opposite! I'm intimidated by the counting and how everything has to be so precise with cross stitch. Embroidery is more like, eh I messed that up a little, stitch something next to it to make it look better.
