I really like the Artecy designs. You've made a great start on this and it'll be beautiful when completed - I like the fabric choice for it.

OHs :roll: :lol: - you could always suggest he stitches something next.....

I did and he said "you stitch, I'll buy" :lol:

Its the 1st Artecy pattern Ive tried so I'm hoping its ok. I'm using a hoop for the 1st time too as the Aida is very soft and the holes are hard to see without it being stretched :)

I'm worrying about this too for after Queenie is done, won't be able to break the colour/symbol association for a long time!!
