Birth Sampler - overdue need pokes!
[
Ok so I hope I have put the link in correctly here is the picture of what my wip should end up like.
And this should be a photo of my progress so far. This is almost 18 months of work I was told about the baby very early on as the dad is my oldest friend and we were trying to get together for a catch up but mum was suffering with sickness and they kept cancelling. They decided to tell me so I didn't think they were avoiding me! Little one was born early January and I would like to finish this for Christmas this year.
I do enjoy stitching this when I do sit down to it. It is a mix of colour blocks and fiddly bits and no backstitch. It is being stitched 2 over 1 on aida but I cannot remember the count. I think it maybe 14ct but I cannot find the packet.

Adorable pattern. Lovely work.
Looks kind of detailed to be 2 over 1 on 14 ct.

There is only 7 colours in this in total. It is a Vervaco kit. They are relatively straightforward to do. There is some fiddly bits in it but there are lots of blocks of colour in it too.Roland wrote:Adorable pattern. Lovely work.

Looking at the two pictures against it does look like I have completed about 1/3 of the overall design. I normally start my stitching in the centre and work outwards.

I always find housework can wait relative to stitching. Its cats that can't & won't wait.
The picture looks like an interesting sepia tint and is getting on well. Pictures of babies are always nicer than the real thing, as a picture can't be revolting at both ends at the same time.
Daughters, hrrumph.
Regards,
Richard.

I have yet to see a Vervaco that I didn't fall in love with, and this piece is no exception. You're doing a fantastic job.
