Well so much for doing something a bit more colourful. My next project arrived this morning. I am thinking about doing a few of these for my new kitchen which will be basically brown. Thought I would try one first before investing in more. Hope to start this evening.

Not very colourful perhaps -- but very atmospheric! Good luck, and don't forget those progress pictures :-)

Very interesting. Looks like no backstitching. This should be a quick one. And we expect picture all along the way. :)

Yes if I like it I'm not sure which I'm going to pick to do next :?
I dutifully read the instructions before I started - good job I did as some of it is with just one thread.

Oh my goodness. I just looked at the rest of them. I love them! I want to do all of them. They make me think of dreams for some reason.

Mags, you won't take toooo long getting pictures for us will you? *is very anxious to see* And do tell us all about how it is to work them, please....?

I just browsed the site...and looked at the rest of the silhouettes...They're all nice! ....especially loved the Guiding Light (the one with a lighthouse)...

Hope to see your progress soon, mags! I'm also very anxious to see! :)

Sorry for the long delay in posting a picture but haven't really done much stitching while we have had the kitchen done and I got a bit fed up with it half way down - there are a few fractionals - diagonal, horizontal and vertical :shock: and I am working on aida, but it hasn't gone too badly. Haven't yet decided whether to do more in the series. Here is where I am now

Mags the kitchen looks fabulous! Loads of storage space and plenty of work space on the tops too.
I bet all the mess / cleaning seems worth it now!

:applesauce: :D :applesauce:

Love the project as well. It's very effective!
