Welcome to Stitchboard! Feel free to sit and stay awhile. Check out our new Premier features.

We have many more features planned, too!

Hi I am new on this board.... thank you for accept. I live at the Netherlands. My hobbies are embroidery and readig... most historical stories. Last week we had an amazing weekend with a lot of spectaculair airshows. The Northern lights. For years I am searching to get a nice picture of the lights for a cross-stitchpattern. Now I found 3 of them . So happy found your website to make 1 by myself. All I have to do now is pick out 1, grab the yarn, fabric and start. Happy, greetings Thijsse
Thanks Melanie,
To tell the truth I can't exactly remember how I stitched the edges of the two pieces to keep it from unraveling. I'm thinking I did small tufts of fringe together and did a whip stitch in the off white color of the material between the tufts. It was 16 yrs ago, I did it all by hand with needle and thread, no machine stitching since I was on the truck. Personally I hate to sew by machine even for a simple repair of a seam in clothing.
I wished I could see the edges better
and then it would come to me. These photos are all I have of the
work. If I remember at some point I will let you know, sorry my
memory is not so good anymore. I've never used a professional
framer before. On the few I did put in a frame & it was not
many I did the work myself. And I am by no way a professional at
framing anything! I read your post about framing your own pieces
and thought back to when I did that too.
I'm going to attemp a couple of Koi fish and a lotus blossom or 2 to add background for my 1st Chinese slik embroidery. I'm thinking about working with my satin thread to practice on something first before I use the silk once it gets here. I figured that way I won't waste the silk if I make an awful mess until I learn how to create a decent piece.
Oh I don't think I am anywhere near ready to create my own patterns yet. I have created a few of my own beading patterns for my use and on one of the beading groups on Facebook I belong to I added the pdf file for anyone to use if they so desired. Some said they would make something from them, but so far I have not heard or seen anything come of it. I didn't think they would, but it is fine as they are still my creations either way.
MBT,
Welcome!
The freePatternWizard doesn't convert graphs to other graphs. Its function is to take images, such as photos or drawn artwork, and change them to graphs. So if you have, say, a drawing of a turtle, you'd take that image, upload it, and turn that into a knitting graph.
This is why you won't be able to convert a cross stitch graph. The freePatternWizard is looking at the graph lines and such, saying, "I don't know what these are, but they're obviously part of the pattern, so I'll include them!"
Hi
I have a list of 8 colors and symbols but on the graph there is a symbol of just a (.) in the block. Can someone explain
Thanks in advance for your help
Line,
What lucky teachers!
I say you've really captured the look of the Kay Bojsen wood figures with your bird! (Yes, I did look him up online, and you've done a spectacular job!)
The flask is cute and does look like fun! Love the cotton "smoke" on the top, too...what a perfect touch.
You're not kidding...cardigans really do take time, sigh. Worth it in the end, but they can be very frustrating because they do tie up so much time. LOL, that's what TV is for, though, isn't it?
Thanks for posting! Your work is always such a
joy to see.
Hugs,
Melanie
