Here is my selection of colours for the sampler. I decided to use one of the dyed fabrics that I bought from Polstitches and changed a lot of the colours because I am a purple person not a pink person.

i'm sticking w/ the original colors and i'm ready to go too!
no photos until my PC is fixed though.i'm on hubby's laptop.
after yellling at them on the phone, they'll be sending me a hard drive and someone to put it in.
Paid 1400 USD for this computer and have had TONS of problems. We have another of the same brand..same thing!
not under warranty..but the one they are fixing is.

i was not happy last night as we just sent it to them,they said they fixed it..worked for awhile..and now acting up again!

anway..not to hijack..but no photos from me for while :(

I did about an hours worth of stitching on mine before... I have started in the middle (I find it easier that way) and I have done all the 'love' along with the little patterns at the side of the writing and underneath. I am really enjoying it too

Won't get a chance to start until after work today. But I am really excited to start.

Rosemary love the colors you have picked, I am a green person so most of my changes went to that color range.

CF sounds like you are getting loads done. wonderful will be great to see pictures......* thinks CF will be done with this in a few days :wink: *

I started mine this morning, but haven't gotten a lot done since I had to do some laundry and other things around the house. I'm thinking that I'll probably work on this one during the day since it's easier to put down if the kids need me and the fractal at night.
