I was at it again. I drew up a little design, which looked nice with pen and colored ink. I tried the program I am testing and some of the design scanned in as a blob and some of it, was too light. I have no idea what I am doing wrong, so I decided to go with graph paper. Of course, what I draw with lines does not look the same on graph, so I have a lot to learn about making my own designs, to get them to look right.
This is the end result. I tend to change things as I go, so a lot of it is freehand and then since I had no idea what size it was, I added a few things at the end. I wanted this to be put in a frame, but I think I will try again and this time, work out the pattern, before I start stitching. I made it into a pillow instead.

Another great piece!
Fun! What fabby is it stitched on?
Oh my, how sweet is that? Nice job Debbie!
The piece is on 14 count aida. I age the piece when it is done to get the antique look.

Oh I love that design! Are you just scanning them in or are you using a program to graph them?

This pillow sure doesn't look like you had trouble with anything. It's just perfect. What do you age it with? You must have a wonderful collection of work.
Take care,

It's just wonderful Debbie!!
I drew this one on paper, then added color to some items. Then I placed it behind the graph paper and tried to match up the shapes.
For antiquing, I use tsukineko walnut spray, watered down.
