This is my first time posting a pic on here so I hope I'm doing it right. I'm currently working on Summer in the Village by Stoney Creek. I finished Spring in the Village a couple months ago and took a break to do some other projects and now I've started this one.

Great start.

Might I ask what sort of thread/filament you use for your gridding?

I just use DMC for the gridding.

Oh, I just recently bought all 4 of these patterns and kitted them all up. I'm going to start them when I finish my Chinese Zodiac series. I'm going to love watching you stitch this. For me, I can't decide which one to start first. How did you like stitching the first one up? :wub:

That looks really lovely...you have made a great start on this! :applesauce:

Do you by chance have a pic of what it will look like when it's finished?

I absolutely loved stitching the first one. It was relatively easy to stitch but complex enough to be a challenge. I chose to do Spring first because it was Spring when I started it. Now I'm doing Summer cause it's summer. No real logic other than that :oops:

. It took me about 6 weeks to stitch the first one so I'm planning on about the same for Summer.

Here's a pic of my finished Spring (I'm waiting to frame them until they're all done for continuity in the framing):

And Here's the what the finished Summer will look like:

Beautiful start on summer! The colours are so nice!
Also great finish on spring :applesauce:

Cant wait to see you progress on summer

What a lovely design. Great job on Spring and you are making really good progress on Summer. I'm looking forward to seeing what Autumn and Winter are like.
