Finished Feb's Cottage, with a couple of tweaks. I've left off the random hearts either side of the text as I wasn't keen on them. Also, I had a lovely design from Abi Gurden for Valentine's day, which is a heart made up of smaller hearts done in specialist stitches. One of those was a Rhodes heart and when I saw it, I thought it would look really pretty if I substituted that for the border hearts in the Cottage. I'm rather pleased with the result.

Thanks for looking :)

Thanks! I'm really pleased with those Rhodes hearts. I've been enjoying doing the specialist stitches on The Great Escape so I jumped at the chance of adding something to this. I think I've got the bug now :roll:

I did. I'm thinking of doing that each month as I finish each Cottage :)
