Gosh, I'm pleased I caught this before it's finished. What a stunning design and you've made the flowers just spring to life.

I really like this one.

another question - are there fractionals and stuff or is it just full crosses ? - I'm thinking I could possibly do this (albeit a long time in the future ) on 14# aida. I know it won't look so good but I do really like this.
Sorry Mags
Been meaning to answer your question. It is just full cross stitches. The only difference is that some use 1 strand and some use 2. If you like, when I have finished you are welcome to have the chart. I have marked it off but with pencil which you could probably rub out and anyway you can still see the symbols. It is done with DMC threads and if you were going to do it on adia you wouldn't want to pay for the kit with the linen in it. Anyway, let me know if you would like it.

Oh wow, that would be wonderful, thank you so much. :D :wub:
If there is anything you would like in return ?

(I do hope you don't think I was angling for this - I was thinking I could get the kit and put up the linen for trade.)

Yes I think so although it is quite big so shall have to look around in some of the cheaper shops for a nice frame.
