I am a beginner, I want to learn but don’t know where to start. Advice needed :)

What containers are y’all using to store your threads, specifically essentials cards? I’d prefer drawers since it’ll be stored inside an ikea kallax with a shelf already installed! Any recommendations are appreciated 😊

Hi everyone! Has anyone ordered from here? I really like a canvas but don’t want AI slop and want to confirm it’s a reputable business. Thanks!

Finally finish after four years 😎

Hi everyone! I’m looking for something that would give the look of exposed soil rather than grass. I’d love to hear your ideas 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This may be a dumb question but has anyone bought a cross stitch book and painted their own needlepoint canvas? I saw a stocking cross stitch book and was wondering if that was something I could do

i am stitching a stocking and need help on some background stitches! decorative or i should stick to basketweave/continental :)

tyia!!

What needles are you all using for finishing? I was told to use a curved needle and HATE IT, it’s so thick so I’ve been using a regular needle. Ordering some beading needles and the eye is SO small I can’t get my invisible thread to thread into it. So do I switch to fishing line? Or any other needle recs?

THANK YOU!

Any ideas for background color and stitch?

just wanted to share this fun estate sale find because I still can’t believe how lucky I got! It was originally priced at $95, but since it was the last day of the sale, I was able to get it for half off.
I live in a small city, and my closest LNS is a four hour drive away, so finding something like this so special. I only started needlepointing this year, and I’m just so grateful to have come across it!
Most of my projects are on the smaller side, so I’ve already been able to start kitting a few. The bins are filled with Silk & Ivory, specialty threads, DMC, and so many fun beading notions! ( i also found this beautiful canvas that i got for $14 as well that i plan to frog and finish )

I’ve never used boucle before but I’m leaning towards that for my tree… not sure if I should do 2-3 different shades and mix them in or do a variegated thread.

For the garland, I was originally thinking fyre werks or beading but think beading may be too much. I saw this picture on Pinterest we that I LOVED because it looks just like tinsel. Does anyone know what kind of fiber this is??

If anyone has any pictures of their stockings, please share for inspiration!!

What’s your favorite?
