I am stitching mine on one piece of fabric, 25 count, one thread over one. I am doing 4 across and 7 down which will give me one extra block that I will stitch my dates and name and some other motifs in. Someone else had this idea for the layout (sorry don't remember who) and I liked this idea and am doing it like this.

Hello and welcome!

I am stitching mine in three sections of nine letters each arranged in a 3x3 pattern, as I stitch with a hoop in hand, and all that fabric would be too much...

I'm stitching over one, and leaving 5 threads between the designs that are 70 x 100, to leave some space for the ones that are bigger than this count (and there are a few)

Good luck!

I doing the first three letters...ABC together to finish as a pillow. I'm thinking of stitching the A again for my granddaughter Alanna and doing the I for my grandson Isaiah.
