Re: shellys first kit
Crikey! That'll be a fabulous first design. And she has made such a good start. All those stitches in one single hour... needle must have been smokin'!
Re: shellys first kit
I had to start with little projects so I could feel that sense of accomplishment when I finished something. But I think as she watches this come together she'll be hooked. There's just something about seeing a blob of colors transform into something beautiful.
current project rotation:

The Accolade
Faces of Faery 89

What a kit to start on!
Good on her - can't wait to see this one grow. No doubt she'll be as addicted as us!

Re: shellys first kit
Although I always encourage people to do something small as their first project if they set their heart on a particular design it is more likely to be completed because are determined to have the finished product.
I am very impressed with the start that she has made and it looks very neat. Looking forward to updates and wish her well in her new hobby.

Re: shellys first kit
This is a beautiful kit. Your sister is going to love the finished piece. She has a great mentor in her corner so she is on her way. Hope the two of you have many happy hours of stitching.
