[Mabel Figworthy]

So pretty -- and glad the thread matching worked out!

[Rose]

How annoying to run out of so many colors that would have made me very angry. But you have done a superb job!!!!!

Wonderful

[Nachstenliebe]

Way to for finding the colors you needed. You're your own lifesaver! The project is coming along very nicely!

Such a lovely project to be stitching as we are starting to get colder weather, it is so warm looking

[Daesania]

oh my gosh that is so beautiful!

[Sarah Gixxer]

Here's another update - I finished Panel 3 last night including the backstitch wording (whatever that says, I think it might be French but even if it is, I can't make it out).

All I have to do now is stitch the words onto the other 2 panels and then it's finished! Here's Panel 3 finished.

nearly finished

Looks great! I've just spent ages staring closely at the screen but can't make those words out either. There isn't even a big picture on Lanarte's website where they're decipherable. Can you tell I'm trying to put off work?

Lovely!

The sunflowers are looking gorgeous

As for the lettering, I've noticed that Lanarte kits often have lots of fancy (but unreadable) handwriting-type words around them, my little Paris kit did (that I just played around with to get used to evenweave) and that big swan one of theirs has it all over!!

Looks great!!

This is lovely - how are you going to frame it? The fabric is so nice, that you'd want to see it!

[Dammetje]

These are beautiful, great work!

[Sarah Gixxer]

When I do get it framed, which won't be until some time next year at least as I have heaps waiting to be framed and also I have nowhere in my flat to hang anything this big so it wouldn't go on the wall until I move in the future, I thought I would get it done so it shows as much of the fabric as possible and probably without a mount, just one long frame in some shade of mahogany to pick out the darker colours from the sunflowers.

[Sarah Gixxer]

Finished!! There was only 15 minutes' work left in the lettering when I got home. Here are some piccies:-
