I should be doing housework...: August Stitching Round Up

Tuesday, 31 August 2010

I only worked on one piece this month as I am trying hard to finish something. My focus project was "Wild Menagerie"

This pic was taken today - I'm really happy with how the jaguar looks.

Steph said...: Hi
This looks amazing. I bought Wild Menagerie in 2005, and have picked it up twice, but havent got very far with it. Can I ask what kind of frame, stand and lighting you use? I've never stitched on black before, and think(apart from the sheer size) this may be what's putting me off.
Cheers

I don't have a special light just an angled standing lamp beside my sofa. I also used q-snaps for most of this.

The only tip I can give you is to put a white pillow case on your lap as you can see the holes in black fabric much more clearly that way.; 9 December 2011 at 11:37
