Your orchids are lovely, printed or stitched background?
I saw this bistro stitched up model in a stitch store here today, very nice. Really good use of color. Keep up the good work.

It is lovely. I was just reading back through the whole topic and saw you did oriental orchids as well. I recently purchased that kit, waiting for Mr postman to deliver it.

I am going to start my European Bistro in summer. I got it out and had a look and as the lighting is bad and it's 16 count which I haven't done before, i figured I'd wait for mother nature to shed light into my house...especially after failing miserably sewing on black 14 count aida. It kind of scared me that I would ruin my bistro.

I find this is a very charming design. I think I would never be able to finish such a complicated project, so I highly admire your work! :o

This is fabulous - I'd love to be able to do something like this but it is far to big a job for me I'm afraid :?
