Oh that's going to be lovely! I love the vases and colour changes.
Have you made a start yet?

What a lovely design, the shading is done so beautifully! I'm sure you'll get a lot of pleasure from this one.

That looks like a lot of fun. What will it be when done? Is it for you or maybe a present.

Ooh they're really pretty, i love the colours

well this is about 4 hrs of work..not straight..but here and there stitching.
This is stitching up fast! I love when there's big blocks of color..very easy to keep on stitching without changing colors!

I have the flowers in and leaves done for one pot and the leaves done for the pot next to it.
I have to work on that ornament today..but back to this tomorrow...doing to do the pot..

That is such quick progress! Don't you just love it when you see it take such quick shape under your hands

?
Is the fabric a mauvy/lilac colour? Looks lovely and gives quite a different effect from the photo you put up to show us the design!

Oh that's pretty!
I really like this, and like Mabel, I like the fabric colour against it as well.

coffee_freak · Post by **coffee_freak** » Wed May 21, 2008 1:35 pm

not sure the exact name of the color..and the brand is an off brand..it's part of the stash someone sent me who no longer stitches. It's even a deeper rose color that what comes across in the photo. I love the darker fabric rather than what the model was stitched on in the mag...much more contrasting~
thanks all!
off to stitch my next ornament..I'll update the orchids in another day or two..

That is really quick progress C-F. I like the background color to. Don't you with a photo would pick up the true color though.
