Lovely :)

The backstitch makes so much difference on those letters.

I love this. I'm afraid I need this. Must go look for it. I've caved. What's one more thing, anyway. The more the merrier.

Beautifully stitched, and the backstitch does add such a nice elegant feel to each letter. :applesauce: :applesauce:

The pictures did not seem to come out very good this time. They are much more refined in real life.

:applesauce: I think they look really good. I love the Holiday feel that they have. I guess its the red on the white, but it is stunning. :applesauce:

They're so stylish. I love them :)

It's so hard to get photos of cross stitch both in focus and the right colour.

Not sure were you might have got your pattern CF I bought a booklet off of e-bay some time last year. There are 24 designs and all of the alphabet and the numbers 1 through 9. The booklet is called Red Thread and it is produced by Rosewood Manor if that helps any.

For this particular project I have 4 more to do then finish the edge. But I want to stitch 2 more, similar but just a bit different setting the words different and probably a few different motifs. They are going to be presents at .........sssssshhhhh :shifty: I don't want to say this very loud Christmas
