Yeah, that's probably it. Sneaky devils

That has visited me a few times too!

And me! Scarily recognisable

Love this they are such beautiful flowers Well done

Sorry about any frogging you had to do. The iris is coming along beautifully with all those lovely purples. I'm looking forward to more updates.

Finally an update. Going well and really love this one,

That is so pretty and the colours are really amazingly like the real plant. You are making great progress Linda. applesauce:

This is absolutely beautiful!! I am amazed at how realistic it looks!! Makes me miss being able to grow irises that much more--it's just far too hot here in Florida for Iris and Tulips

Very pretty update

Love the colours and so very life-like! Can't wait to see more!

Superb!! Just superb!!!

Beautiful you are stitching this up perfectly

Stunningly beautiful progress!!!

I continue to be in love with this piece...especially the colors. That is truly a color combination near and dear to my heart. Thank you for sharing.

Really lovely!

As for the sneakiness of -- it knows no bounds, alas.

So pretty!

What a beautiful flower!

what a treat to see this one again, the torrential rain here yesterday reduced my garden irises to faded blah. yours has lifted my spirits, love love love the colours

...and speaking of colours, I came to the end of my #209 luckily I had another in my stash, HA, it's totally a different shade. darker, not as pink as the old. I am ticked off, the shade doesn't match the master book, and it doesn't match any other shade of purple they sell so it's a waaay off dye lot. There is a large bit of that shade just above the last bit that needs that colour and it's a large area too. Don't know what to do. The only thing I can think of is to use it and if it looks too off, then I will have to pull out the other bit, damn.
