1martinimomma 594 Posted July 19, 2019 Beautiful work. I just order some kits from Janet Granger. It will be my first attempt at doing needlepoint in this scale. I may ask you for some advice once the kits come in since you do such nice work. 1 Quote Link to comment

I may ask you for some advice once the kits come in since you do such nice work. This is actually tent stitch worked in 1 strand of DMC floss on 38-count Evenweave (although it's really not so even), but the principles are the same. In fact, it was one of Janet Granger's books that gave me the courage to make my own patterns. 4 hours ago, Samusa said: Beautiful Deborah 1 hour ago, Dalesq said: I’m always impressed by these needlework...and in half scale at that!

Kells 397 Posted July 31, 2019 You stitched that? Deep curtsy to you. I needlepointed two bargello seat cushions without a pattern when I was 17. Let's just say that was an unspecified number of years ago. Just two simple seat cushions did me in. That was the last time I needlepointed. I still have those chairs, come to think of it. I'll post a pic if I ever come across them again. They'll give you a good laugh! 1 Quote Link to comment

I made the pattern for this, but I still had a pattern. I've been doing cross-stitch (although this is actually continental tent stitch) for over 30 years,so I've had a bit of practice. I guarantee you I wasn't as good on my first try! Quote Link to comment
