March Madness

[faewren]

I'm willing to hear all suggestions about the sewing it up. Holes vs no holes - which do you think looks more cuddly? But I am willing to abide by public opinion on that one truthfully.

As for doing future quilts, we'll just have to see how this one goes over.

And you all put me to shame - I'm a slow stitcher apparently. All the WIPs look awesome!

feel free to comment and let me know what you feel about the colours because they look a little bright

[brityboo]

My colors for Ponyta sure look bright.

What color number is it you're using for the grass? I have a feeling mine is a lot different.

And they look wonderful! Your stitches are so neat. How do you do that? My stitches, on the front don't look THAT good. xD

oh my god, Holder, they look amazing!! and the back!! WOW!! none of mine are that clean, how'd you do it?
a quick question for Faewren, do the backs need to be as neat as Holder's or can they be a little bit y'know, scruffier? if that's the right word for it ^_^
Oh i can't wait to start!! i'm getting some money for myself next week so whatever floss i can't buy on Friday i can get on wednesday i'm so excited! ^.^

Did you make your own pattern or did someone make it for you? I can't remember.

I'm just curious as to what green everyone is using, Mine seems so weird...

[LilliumRyn]

someone made the Lapras one for me and mine would be the blue water anyways i need the other two made though, since i don't have Photoshop at the moment and i'm just getting frustrated with MS paint. the Ghastly, Haunter and Gengar one and the Three ledgendary birds

[brityboo]

Oh, those are the ones you're doing. They're all flying pokemon. xDD So you don't even get grass.

Boo xD

[faewren]

If I had to be as neat and tidy as Holder I think I would go nuts. I know we're all at different levels of skill with cross stitching and all that is asked is as best as you can do. Nothing more, nothing less. ^_^

So if we all do what we can that's good right?

[Yurtle]

When we send our quilt piece, will we be sending a few dollars as well for the quilting material?

[faewren]

That is entirely up to you. I don't want to ask more than anyone is willing to give, be it time, effort, skill or money. I'm just grateful you are all pitching in and making patches. (I'm a LOT slower making mine than everyone it seems.)

EDIT: Besides, since I'm in the US, it might be strange to try to pay with US dollars, Aussie dollars, Canadian dollars and British Pounds. j/k I am aware I can exchange money at banking establishments.
