I think using better floss has really made this one look a lot cleaner than my previous projects!

She really is looking very neat! Possibly also just the effect of all the practise and experience though. I like the sort of flecky fabric too, it's a nice contrast with the flat colours.
I have had a super disrupted week after husband's surgery last Wednesday, but been getting back to stitching the last couple of days. Here is a kind of confusing shot of the right side of my Steampunk World Map (all the little awkward bits down that side are new since last time), and a basic spoopy house silhouette I designed that needs to be finished by Friday but I accidentally watched a bad video while stitching on it and made myself motion sick ๐คฎ
These are neat looking. Really like the spooky house so far.
Thanks! It's cute and I like it on the orange linen but need to let my stomach settle a bit before I can face working on it more ๐
I love that steampunk map and I'm considering if I want to try it myself lol! The spooky house is looking good too despite the setbacks!
The fabric I used on this one is called "fiddlers cloth". It was for sale with all the regular aida cloth at the fabric store so I thought I would try it out. It's a bit more expensive than the regular cloth, but it's stiffer and holds tension better which is really good for me! I thought it would look better than the plain green background in the pattern
If you do ever decide to try the map pattern, my main tip would be to pick a fabric where the weave isn't super loose. Just...trust me on that one ๐
