Is this an older Ehrman kit?

Does anyone recognize this as being an older Ehrman kit? And if so, who the designer is? I stitched it between ten and fourteen years ago after my husband had dangerous open heart surgery. I didn’t save anything from the kit packaging but I believe I ordered it from Ehrman. It’s approx. 15 1/2” by 15 1/2”. I‘ve Googled it and searched extensively online and even reached out to the Ehrman company (no response.) Thanks for any help!

Continental troubleshooting

Post image

Working on my first project and doing just continental stitches. Can anyone tell me why my “Texas to Maine” stitches look so different than my “Maine to Texas” stitches? Does this matter? I am annoyed that it looks like an alternating pattern by row and not all the same. In the photo you can see how it alternates between fatter stitches and smaller stitches. Help please!

Threads for Stockings

0 Upvotes

I'm fairly new to needlepoint, although I have been doing yarn crafts for as long as I can remember. I just had a baby and I want to make her a stocking. I landed on a pattern by bloom stitch studio (stocking pattern link). I plan on painting it myself on 13 mesh (I know that will be a process all in itself lol). What threads would you recommend for the stocking? I wouldn't mind some speciality threads for the tree and other smaller details but am unsure what to use for the background since it is so much stitching!

General Help Has anyone here ever stitched a full-size Christmas stocking using counted canvaswork and specialty stitches?

Or maybe you’ve come across a pattern for one? I’ve seen plenty of painted canvas stockings, but never a counted canvaswork version. I’d love to know if they’re out there! If you’ve made one or seen one, please share!

I basketweave 99.99% of my projects but thinking about trying something new. Any decorative stitch suggestions for the train car or background? it’s 18 mesh and I’ll probably use vineyard silk or pepper pot, if that makes a difference. thank!

Hi! Just wanted to share my biggest project as of yet I have been needlepointing for just over a year now! This is a gift for my brother. The goal is to frame it with a light above the frame.

This was a print from needlepaint!

I would love to hear any decorative stitch suggestions! I’m thinking diagonal mosaic for the background but curious to other options! Thanks :) let’s see if i finish this by Christmas
