Thanks, guys. :) I've just finished stitching the reverse while Xan is having a nap and I've washed it so I'm just waiting for it to dry. Once it's dried, I can iron the pieces and start assembly tonight after I put Xan to bed. :)

They really look great together

I had a look in your site and you've made some lovely designs. I'm tempted to stitch the bibliophile bookmark for a bookmark exchange I'm in :)
