@ Cairee - Sorry about the bullion knots... :-) -- they did come out well though! And you've got lovely regularly spaced double wrapped bars too

@dragonrider - great placing on the picots, and I love how well-defined your satin-stitch braid looks, it really shows off the two-tone pattern!

Cairee, that is gorgeous and such a lovely rich colour too.

Dragonrider - really beautiful and a lovely delicate mauve/pale purprle you have used for both of them.

Beautiful stitching both of you. :D

At last my version!!

I've been plagued with a whole family of :anotherfrog: :ribbit: :anotherfrog: :ribbit: whilst doing this!!

Also I don't like hearts! So I've apologised to Mabel and done Rhodes Squares instead.

Love Rhodes stitch and the couching looks OK, but I have :ribbit:'d it so many times!!

It still looks good Wendy :applesauce: :applesauce:

It's interesting to read of other stitchers likes / dislikes and adjustments, different but all 'correct' if you know what I mean.

:applesauce: :applesauce: Gorgeous colours and great stitching Wendy. I love it and the way you had added your own take on it. Isn't it a wonderfully versatile needlework which can be changed or added to and something different and still beautiful comes out of it. :D :D

Thank you so much Mabel for sharing your passion with us.
