Sorry I havent posted much this week - so much going on and havent had a chance.
Thought I would share with you this stitching I did a few months ago. I found a large dot-to-dot puzzle online and as soon as I saw it I had to stitch it!! Took quite a while - as a beginning stitcher I was sort of going in my own direction - but I got all the lines done in the right spots and I was quite chuffed with the result.
I was planning on giving this away in a raffle (it is framed) but I chickened out... anyway......
The size is a4 (210 × 297 mm). Which I think is 8 inches by just under 12 inches (dont quote me ;) ) I stitched in normal sewing thread and painted with watercolours. The blue around the sides is the border for the frame - just to give a bit of closer detail.
I am assuming this is as close as I will ever get to the Leaning Tower Of Pisa and this is my snapshot of my visit ;)
Have a wonderful day and I will be back soon :)

I would never think to stitch a dot to dot - this must be a craft I've never seen or heard of! Very creative and a great idea! Really nice job too!
Thankyou everyone.... :)
I never heard of stitching a dot to dot either - I just saw it and thought it would be ideal so I tried it and wahlah!!! I have done this one twice - I am a glutton for punishment!!!
