This is totally beautiful! I so envy you -- such a great job! (I've hardly had a chance to start it...

That is so beautiful

And from the perfect-looking result you can certainly not tell that you were dreading it!

I really cannot believe that this is your first attempt!!!

I am overwhelmed how 'professional' this looks!!

Serinde have you had any chance to start yours I am really looking forward to seeing yours in all of the white.

Thank you all for the lovely comments - you're making me blush

I have to say that this really isn't difficult to do. Fiddly at times, but that's all. I do have to thoroughly recommend the book. It does explain every step very clearly with lots of big diagrams and with 4 full projects in it I think it's a real bargain too - about the same price as a single chart.

Serinde I'd love to see yours as well

Wow! It's looking great Susan!

I can't tell you how frustrated I am.

I'm no novice when it comes to satin stitch, but I've had to

the top band 3 times. I'm blaming ancient eyes and not enough light, so I will make a working copy to enlarge the design. (The first

had to do with learning to read her graphing, which I initially found odd and confusing, but I think I've got it now...) I will get this on the go! Really!

That is looking sooooo good.
The colours are just beautiful.

What a shame Serinde, I hope the enlarged chart will make a difference!

~threadbear~ · Post by **~threadbear~** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 1:31 pm

Poor Serinde,

I had to get stronger glasses to those I actually wear for reading so as to be able to read small things and see smaller counts. Hopefully the enlarged chart will make a big difference for you.
Looking forward to seeing your version soon as well.

so great!! i'm sooo scared to take scissors to my fabric after stitching..

Serinde that is so frustrating. I really hope you can fix this with a larger chart.
