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 :lol:
And yes, I did enjoy making this. :)

Amanda that is gorgeous. Just love those flowers and the blues and yellows in the borders just sets it all off. :applesauce: :applesauce: :stars: :stars:

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.

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 :lol:
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! :wub: 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 :dance:
