Just a quick update on my progress with Simple Treasures
stitching. I took everyones advice and
started doing the back stitching even though I haven’t finished all the
stitching….breaking the cardinal rule of cross stitching (naughty me!) Anyway,
I think it looks great and doing the back stitching like this does two things –
1. Makes it easier to follow the chart
2. Motivates me to keep going
oh....and another reason (you can tell maths was never my
strong point, can't you?!!)
3. I don’t have to slave over all the back stitching when the cross stitching is done!
Now I just need to find more hours in the day to get this
design completed!
Until next time…happy stitching!

Beautiful progress Rhona. Well done, hope you're feeling better.
I'm working on this one too on rotation! Yours is way ahead of mine, and it looks stunning!! I might follow the advice & work on backstitching as I go along too :) I don't find the chart to easy to work with but my little star fish is nearly finished (horrendous, full of "confetti")
Simple Treasures is looking so wonderful! :)
This is looking great :)
Looking really good. I always understood , that as long as all the crosses are done , you can do the back stitch , though I do tend to leave all mine 'til last and then chunter about it ,lol .
Wow so pretty x
This looks wonderful! I do some backstitching on my projects as I go along too. It makes the design come to life. Who wants to save it all for the end? Ugh!
I generally backstitch as I go along on any bigger projects for all "two" of your reasons-LOL
I always do the back-stitching as I go so when I do the last stitch, it really is finished and I don't have to go back over the design. It's looking great so far - keep up the good work!
Wow, this is really pretty
very great stitching
The one I'm doing now is also full of confetti...I think I'll do like you and start the backstitching =)
happy stitching to you
big hugs

Looks very good. Quick question what's the url for your shop. Wanted to check if you had anything new there, but the link I found on one of your posts isn't working. Thanks.
it's looking great. i think you're right, the back stitch makes it look like it's progressed!
Beautiful progress, it is so cute.

Looking great! I'm doing the backstitch on the crossword hedgehog as I go along just to make sure I don't go off track with the crossword puzzle part of the chart!
Cant wait to see your design finished!
It's looking lovely...and I'm glad you've found a way to stitch the design to enjoy it even more!
