Hello all. My wife used to be really into cross stitching when we were first married and one of her favorite pieces that she completed was "Rainbow Row" with the 9 house scene from Charleston SC. I've seen a couple of versions of this, but was like the one here: http://www.everythingcrossstitch.com/ra ... oCQd3w_wcB
It hung over our fireplace for years and unfortunately we suffered some mold damage and the piece is completely ruined. I wanted to replace it for her for Christmas and am having no luck finding a completed piece like this for sale. Anyone know where I might purchase one?
Thanks
Want to buy completed "Rainbow Row"

Re: Want to buy completed "Rainbow Row"
I would be very surprised if you can find an already stitched picture of this. People usually do not have ready to sell pieces. You might find some one that you could commission to stitch the project but it is a bit late to be thinking of that. Or you could buy the kit and give that you your wife so she could enjoy the time stitching this once again.
If you are looking for some one to help change you, look in the mirror

Re: Want to buy completed "Rainbow Row"
As Rose said.. it's unlikely you'll find it already stitched. Either buying the kit for her to restitch or having it comissioned is the way to do. I do some comissioned stitching, so I'm going to follow this message with a private message with some info. Just be aware that Christmas is cuttting it awfully close and it's highly unlikely.

Re: Want to buy completed "Rainbow Row"
Wow. This brings back memories. I would be glad to look and see if I have my almost completed rainbow row. I did much of it during the days we were without power right after hurricane Hugo smacked us. Once the power came back I put it away and never picked it back up. Looks like the same one you are looking for. There was a completed one on the walls of my LNS but that has been closed for a year. If I can find mine, I will send you a pm, but I think it may be hidden away in a box in the attic and If it's there, I will never find it. Still, there is always hope

Re: Want to buy completed "Rainbow Row"
You could always send it to me to finish and hope I don't start a thread about it.. *snicker* I'm sure your counting skills are much better than THAT piece though. Speaking of .. I'm back to work on that one this weekend!rcperryls wrote:Wow. This brings back memories. I would be glad to look and see if I have my almost completed rainbow row.

If I find it you'll get a pm from me asking for your address. If I remember correctly, it's pretty straight forward stitching on probably 14 or 16 ct aida with little if any confetti. It was one of the earlier pieces I stitched, so no promises about my counting skills.
