European Bistro

ok, is there anyone else aside from me who is in love with this kit from Dimensions!? oh my god, the first time I saw it, I was heads over heels. The colors are perfection. I get bored when there's too much of one color in a pattern like white.

I'm doing summer stroll rite now, and I'm so bored!!! I want to end it so that I can start on my bistro

lets see if I can post a pic here...

That is a fantastic picture - too big/detailed for me I'm afraid.

This is one of my favourites.But being a Dimensions it will properly be a coloured chart so i will never get to do it

how come you can't do a coloured chart?

If the chart has greens,reds and brown symbols the same they start looking the same colour to me.So i prefer black and white charts instead.

That is a wonderful pattern with lots of colors and wonderful details.

Oh u know what, the chart for A Summer Stroll the one I'm doing now, the sky has 2 colors, green and blue both colours using the exact same symbol which is a dotted square. I can never stitch that at night under artificial light coz the colors look exactly the same! only in the day, with the natural light, then they look different. here's a sample:-

[mejaflora]

I've just redesigned my site and put the bistro as my centerpiece
