I finished off all the cross stitching on my MS hedgehog, named Thistle. I have started the back stitching and love how it brings the piece to life and add definition, hense the title :) I just adore his little smile, so cute.

However the back stitching on this quite challenging and as I have stitched it on Aida fabric I keep having to break through the fabric for the back stitching because it's quite often charted half way between two holes in the fabric. Therefore I plan to do any future MS designs on evenweave which should make the back stitching a little easier.
I am so glad that people enjoyed seeing how Bridge of Wings has come together to date. It is quite motivating to see it in this way, as a number of commenters mentioned. In fact everytime I look at that post all I want to do is settle down for a long night with Bridge. Alas it is not to be, I have had other more pressing things that have needed to seen to.
As a fellow enthusiast of huge projects, it's great to have little things to make you feel like you're actually getting work done!
ReplyDeleteI love this guy. I'm thinking of getting a pet hedgehog.
When I first saw your Bridge of Wings, it prompted me to purchase a HAED from the same designer - It is truely an awesome chart, your work wonderful
