This is a lovely one to stitch, i stitched it a couple of years ago for a very good friend of mine. I didn't tell her i was doing it and i gave it to her on her wedding day. She was speechless. I hope you enjoy stitching as much as i did.

It's a very enchanting picture, although I must confess all that white would drive me insane, LOL, so I suggest you do much of it while you're working on the other details (anyway, you'll have to wash your item in the end!)

This is lovely and you've made a great start. The fabric is perfect for this too. Looking forward to more updates as you progress.

Thanks for all the lovely comments guys
I am a little apprehensive about all that white also. The pattern does say to do all the colours first and then fill in with the white. Do you reckon its ok to ignore that then? I would much rather work on the white as I go along.

L&L designs are always so pretty and you've made a great start. I'd do the white as I went along - it shouldn't be a problem particularly if you're planning on washing it when finished.
