I've finally stitched something at last!
Copyright Amanda Gregory 2012
After a few years of designing charts and staring at a PC monitor, I've finally swapped the mouse for a needle. About time too, eh?! I follow many of you producing great stitched things and sharing your enthusiasm for your hobby......thought I would join in a little too
And yes, I did enjoy making this.

That's so pretty Amanda, did you design it yourself ?

Amanda that is gorgeous. Just love those flowers and the blues and yellows in the borders just sets it all off.
I also love your Ballerina designs in the last WOCS - I was wishing I knew someone who does ballet - sadly none of the GC do.

Re: I've finally stitched something at last!
Thank you all for your kind comments. I was nervous about posting the biscornu image in front of all you expert stitchers as I'm not a regular stitcher but more into charting designs. Yes, I think I have joined BAA as I want to sew more biscornus now, they are rather addictive! I'm trying to split my time equally between stitching and charting but I have found this quite hard once I got into the stitching process! I had many cold cups of tea and the family put up with later dinners
Steptash: yes, it's one of my designs. I've been doing quite a few biscornu designs (many are on my blogspot) but this is my first stitched one. I wanted to stitch one to see how they worked and if my design process was OK.

That IS so pretty! Love those colours!
I'm doing your daises (from the chart you sent me) It's been taking a while to get started as I've had sore eyes recently after the harvest) but I've started it now
