Suzi's stitching Purple flower and Pearl lilly.
Ive decided to start with purple flower first as i imagine it should grow quite quicky.
Here's a picture of what it should look like finished
However i've decided to leave out the yellow and orange flower centre. I'm going to stitch it as 3 seperate pieces and will start with the square on the left hand side.
I'll update with progress pictures as i go

can't wait to see your work, love both of them, how many strands of thread are you using with 11 count aida? Looked on the web site but couldn't see where to order them from?
Happy Stitching

I like! I agree the 3 separate pics in the frame look nicer, too.

Re: Suzi's stitching Purple flower and Pearl lilly.
I'm also curious about that site and how these work.
What's the finished size of them? How much were the kits ordered from the site?
You picked a lovely one and I agree I like the 3 frames separately! Can't wait to see this grow!

Re: Suzi's stitching Purple flower and Pearl lilly.
It is a gorgeous project and I love the idea of you doing it as 3 separate items. The colours are ones I love to work with too. Enjoy it and I look forward to seeing your progress.

That is a very pretty design I like it best as a complete picture.(personal opinion)

Re: Suzi's stitching Purple flower and Pearl lilly.
Hi again.
heres an update after day one.
The aida's still quite stiff so it's hard to get it to lay flat atm.
Im finding the whole thing very relaxing. It's the largest aida ive stitched on since my mother bought me a roll of binka. The colours are all large solid blocks and unlike my last project (that i still cant bring myself to finish) theres absolutely no confetti!
There's been a few questions asked about it so i'm make an attempt to answer them as best as i can so far.
The pattern is extreemly easy to follow as it's full sized, colour and clearly labled it's also printed on thick shiny card.
For size conversion, each square is approx 110x110 stitches so it's 11x11inch per square.
Although i usually prefer to stitch with 2 strands the pattern calls for 3 strands so im stitching with 3.
As for ordering from Hua Xing's site i couldnt quite work it out either but i googled the patern names i liked and found several ebay shops that sell the full collections.
*purple flower* with p&p was £13.08
*Pearl lilly* with p&p was £26
they took 18 days to arrive.
There are 6-7 stockists on ebay who sell more or less the entire Hua Xing collection so finding one you like on there shouldnt be too hard and is much easier then trying to translate her site.
Happy stitching all, Suzi x

Re: Suzi's stitching Purple flower and Pearl lilly.
Really proud of you for maintaining your passion for stitching. I know I showed you the basics but you became much better than me in no time. I love the purple flower and lilies you are doing. I can recall the projects you have done, just looking at the charts overwhelmed me, but not you.
I look forward to seeing this grow but looking forward even more to seeing you at Christmas.
