Thank you everyone :wub: !

Yes Yes and Yes! Way back at the start of the year I began stitching on Butterfly Lace (only for 5 days!) so that will be in the scroll rods as soon as the last bead goes in CGM! I also plan on signing up for another 3 over the course of the next few months - not necessarily to start straight away, but I like to collect the parts as I find them easiest to stitch that way. Once Butterfly Lace is coming along nicely I may start Fire Lilly Garden - stitching on two Chatelaines is hard as you just want to carry on with the one you are working on! It would be easier if Butterfly Lace was in parts and not the full chart, then I could rotate between them after a part is finished - but we'll see!

That phoenix is absolutely stunning :shock:

the flowers around him, are they made up of fly stitches or three-quarter cross stitches?

They are just plain old three-quarter stitches - surprising for Martina!

Another phoenix done! The final one will be stitched within the next few days hopefully, as part of the HAEDless SAL:

Then for the first time in ages I'll be able to take a pic of the fully stitched piece and prepare for the beading!
