Thanks Fatima. Thought you'd like the black and white! There is no difference at all in the designs, both were made in the 4x4inch (100x100mm) hoop. The Husqvarna one on the right was done with a shinier thread than the one in the Brother hoop. Once I put the two pieces together it will be come a Pin cushion. Love Chris
7806Fabulous work Chris. It is mesmerizing watching cross stitch stitch out isn't it. Long time since I did any. This looks beautiful, great design well stitched. Hugs Marg

Thanks Marg. Yes, it's fascinating watching the crosses being sewed out. This design is stunning and so well digitised no jump threads - just the beginning and the end to cut! It's perfect! Love Chris
24824Love that design! Well done, Martine and Chris.

46919They look so elegant and classy in black and white. I did mine on a reddish brown and that too had a strong contrast with the white embroidery thread.
I am regularly amazed at the beauty of those cross-stitch designs given how fast they can be digitised, so much faster than "normal" embroidery designs, filled or line-art. I always loved doing them by hand in cross stitch and still make them up as I go as knitting patterns. It almost feels like cheating that you can digitise them so fast and I often do one between normal digitising as a quick treat.

Thanks to you Martine this design is just perfect. I only had to cut four threads from the back. They stitched out without a hitch. Love Chris

Yes, they are from Yoriko's site, thought people knew that Martine digitised things for her site. Sorry for the confusion. Love Chris
