Here is todays update...
It's coming along. I've completed the backstitch on the picture in the middle and am now working on the border pattern.

Thank you Mags, I think the border makes it more appealing and less 'flat' looking.
Well, I hope it does!!! :lol: :lol:

As for getting the colors right...what kind of camera do you have? I may be able to help....
I have the Konica Minolta Dimage z5.

Thank you. :D
I finished it last night, but no picture until this afternoon as the computer has a problem on it, to do with the anti virus and I'm struggling to sort it out.
:roll:

Anyhow, will post one when I get back from the meeting and then I'll have to get cracking on the silly computer ... :ratherbe:
Any bets I'll end up taking the whole thing back to the start ... :shock: :cry: :roll:

*shudders at the thought of computer problems*

It's a lovely design, TBear, like those old Delft tiles, and it's come out very well -- can't wait to see what the next project is going to be... :-)

Oh, Mabel you have just reminded me of my visit to Delft way back when. Had a little holiday years ago with my Grandma to visit the tulip fields, and I came back with a couple of Delft clogs (very small ones) and a vase for my mum. Loved the blue and white pottery. :wub:

It is indeed meant to be a delft tile. :D It was one of a set of four in a magazine, so I just chose the one I liked best, although they were all nice.
I had a pair of miniture delft clogs many moons ago Mags.

Here is the finished picture. I hope you like it.

Computer problems finally solved :dance: after much mutterings, threats and crying on my part. :lol:

Now I am considering what to do for my next experiment. :thinks:

That turned out so good. It reminds me of some dishes my Grandparents had. It was a blue and white scene with a windmill, they came from Holland on one of the trips they took back there to visit his sisters.
