I love how backstitching makes such a big difference and I didn't want to wait until the end on both of these, so here is a quick update of just some backstitching! You can click on the photo to see it full screen size.

| Halloween House update #19 |
The first ghost has appeared! I also did all the backstitching on the windows and doorway. Next week I'll start on the second floor.

| BBQ Queen update #16 |
I did a lot of backstitching on BBQ Queen, too. Now you can see the flamingo so much better. Next week I'll start on her white chef's hat.
I also like to BS as I go along. Makes things pop out. Looking good and the Chef is almost done.
ReplyDeleteThey both look great. It's amazing what some backstitch can do!
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing the difference that the BS makes.

Both are looking lovely. I really love the halloween one though. I think I should just cave and buy it.
ReplyDeleteBoth look great. It is amazing what difference back stitching can make.
ReplyDeleteAs much as I don't enjoy backstitching, it does make the piece pop. Your Halloween House is looking great. It is fun to see how the others that are stitching it is coming. I am stitching on the green roof, one is done and the other is coming along. Your bbq is really neat. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy stitching.
Gorgeous work! So bright & cheerful! :)
ReplyDeleteBackstitching is my least favorite part of cross-stitching, but it definitely makes a huge difference! Both pieces look wonderful!
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty! Backstitching just makes everything come alive. I love the pumpkins and ghost!
ReplyDeleteBBQ Queen looks great too!
