"Flower Designs in Cross Stitch"..

Post by wombat »

This is the Book that started it all for me.... :king:

I've recently gone back to it as I've now got the Danish Flower Threads - so I'm not guessing the colours as I did when I was (a lot) younger!!!

The first I've done is Virginia Creeper

Image

And then the Daffodil

As I carry on, I'll post more pics....!!!! :D :D

What a delightful book and the ones you have done so far are really lovely, especially the virginia creeper and of course the daffodil.

Well done.

Thank you, thank you....

** Wombat takes a bow.... ** !!!!

I enjoy doing the larger designs - the ones that take months or even years to finish... These are fun for a change!!! I'm doing my 3rd one now, so hopefully a few more days will finish it.....!!!

That was the first one I ever did!!! The one mum said seemed to be the hardest in the book!!!!! :D :D

As I didn't know much about it... I used tapestry wool and canvas and I think I gave it as a present to someone (can't remember who!!!)

The daffodil, when I did it in tapestry, I gave to my cousin as a wedding pressie - she'd better still have it!!!! :D :D

Thanks, folks!!! :oops: :oops:

Cecilia, I notice you have the Millennium Sampler in your list - is that the one by The Craft Collection???? If so, please could you let me have the symbols chart???!!! A friend of mine gave me the kit, it had the pattern, the threads, the fabric - but not the symbols chart telling me which colour to use where!!!!! T'would be great if you could, I was preparing to guess!!!!
