This is a lovely project! :D One of the nice things about stitching it, I should think, is that it is a series of small projects wrapped up into one, so you never have chance to get tired of any of it. :) I'd love to see the whole thing... :wub:

Hmm...yes, there is that feeling since the flowers are all so different. The thing that makes me tired is the relentless heat we've had here! I keep my thermostat a little high trying to save on electricity and I have a lamp practically in my face and it's just HOT!!! :hot:

So I've finished the crosses on the Rose; all I have left is the back stitching! Yay! :dance: I'll finish this one tomorrow and post where I am overall.

Here's the finished Rose Gallica:

And here is the whole thing so far:

It's hard to keep my mojo going right now. It's been over a month since the car accident and I still haven't been reimbursed for the car or anything. I've been getting seriously frustrated with going around in circles with insurance companies and lawyers. :x

Anyway! next up is a magnolia blossom.

Like Fljotsdale says, it's like a series of smaller projects. I'm way more intimidated by HAEDs! I actually did my first afghan more than 20 years ago for my mom. It was a pretty easy design from Leisure Arts done on Anne cloth, which I like much better than this Angelica!
