Can't wait to start signing my paw on the dotted squares! :D:D
Thank you Mei! I am glad you like it!!

Honestly, I don't think I've ever really given a huge thought to how I sign my works. Just did my initials and the date. Hm....something to think about....
No initials are plain, you just need to find a pattern that works for you! I've come up with this for you;

I think it would look just as cute without the backstitching, but that's just me and my unwarranted loathing of it. This has definitely gotten me to thinkin' about how I could sign my work with something symbolic instead of just my name. Hmm....
If you need a hand making one up feel free to share ideas on this thread and see what we can come up with :D

Love the backstitched sigs! They look clean and elegant, and would be a proud addition to any hard-worked project.

That looks awesome QueenBex and so does the one you did for Kareesh!

I am still thinking about what to do for my own. I have an idea but not sure if it will work.

Wow! Thanks QueenBex. It looks awesome. I may have to start using this. Much better than the blocky version I've been signing with. :clap:

No problem, you can always play around with it, see what works best for you, the more you stitch it the easier it will become :)
