Re: Nicola stitches Wrendale Designs

That poppy is lovely and looks smashing next to Billy :D

I like to do the backstitch as I go along too. Much less daunting that way.

Re: UFO’s

I have two. One is a picture of a hedgehog (country companions?). It's medium-large, not one of the small designs, and he's wearing a football had and scarf etc. My mother bought it for my husband so that I could stitch it for him and I've never liked it.

The cottage is lovely. It reminds me of my very first cross stitch project, which was a cottage with a beautiful garden and a wrought iron gate. Looking forward to seeing your progress :applesauce:

Wow, I love those. They're gorgeous designs and beautifully stitched :applesauce:

I was curious about the designer so have just been for a peek at their website. I now have another couple of projects in my wish list, and that was being restrained :roll:

Sorry to hear about your Mum. I had a similar reaction when mine passed away.

Love the butterfly. Beautiful stitching and a gorgeous colour. Hope it helps you get the stitchy mojo back.
