Owl X stitch

Needle workers can be very meticulous people and I know this one is because apart from the obvious amount of work, this ...........

Re: Owl X stitch
Wow, that's an amazing piece of needlework! Will it be framed to view both sides?

Re: Owl X stitch
That would be fun wouldn't it, but no, as far as the customer is concerned the back looks like spaghetti thrown at a wall!

Re: Owl X stitch
Looks good to me
Is that Arqadia 258492348?? I like it..... but the last time I spoke to them they were going to discontinue it, pity if it's true because I use it for several things.

Re: Owl X stitch
No, it's 258167348 which is black, 258492348 is 'walnut' - good nerdy moulding recognition though
I think one or both is missing from their current price list but both are in stock on their website, not much of the walnut but 900+ metres of the black. Both have been a favourite here for years - another nice deep rebate bites the dust

Re: Owl X stitch
"nerdy moulding recognition" - never thought I'd ever be known for that
But, yes - good mouldings, shame to see them go. I reckon I'll stock up on some next order.
