Richard, I looked for the link to the picture on the website, but couldn't find it as the artist has been retired from HAED (though I do believe she is returning) so you could see that there are blues in the design which didn't show up in the picture that I posted, though I don't know if they are as dark as the blue in my stitching. I do appreciate your observation though and your very kind remarks about my stitching. I love stitching this one (but I say that about all my projects) and am hoping to get back to it sooner rather than later.
