Thanks for the welcome Mabel.

I started this on 4th April and was happily stitching away at the border and made quite a bit of progress before noticing I'd made a HUGE mistake!! I totally miscounted the height of the first box & had to frog a LOT!! Call it a premonition but I had just that day received a pair of unpicker tools which made the job a lot easier!

Anyway here's the progress so far ...

You can just make out where the border was wrong & needed unpicking. :doh:

I'm being EXTRA careful now!!

An update! I'm sticking to the red and white bits for the moment, so you'll have to wait to see my silks in their full glory :-), but here it is so far:

Image

I've decided to get some black silk for the black bits within the design (I'm using DMC for the black outlines) -- especially now that Titania Dreams is having a 20% off offer on Carrie's silks!

That looks wonderful flumpz :applesauce: :applesauce: what a pain with the frog attack, this design certainly needs extra attention to counting, I am even using pins to mark ten stitches on the longer sides :shock: (must try to post an update :oops: )
That looks great Mabel :applesauce: :applesauce:
We need the title of the thread changing now :dance:
