Chit Chat
The branch
I’m having fun stitching this. I’m working towards the branch. What is the easiest way to start the branch?
Timing
Does anyone know how long it will take to stitch this?
Advice
I’m working on the picture and having fun stitching again. I think that the branch looks rather complicated. Should I work towards it and get it done or wait till the end to do it?
Framing
I’m loving the picture. How should I go about framing this beautiful picture?
Color
I’m really hoping that I did the Cardinal right so far. I chose to stitch it on Light Oatmeal fabric.
Stitching Order
I have started stitching this beautiful picture. I started in the center like I'm supposed to. I'm working down on page 13. I'm wondering since there is so much green in the picture if I work down to page 18. then start some of the green or work over to page 14 and 15 to start the green. can I come back and finish the Cardinal?
Color
I am wondering why DMC 947 is used on the Cardinal. I am assuming sense it is outside that it could be from the sun hitting it. I really do like this picture.
Fabric
Since the whole picture is stitched. Does it matter what color fabric it gets stitched on?
Sullivan's Thread
If I use Sullivan's Thread instead of DMC would I be making a mistake?
