Oh Amanda this is so beautiful!

I'm waiting for mine that I ordered back before Christmas (I'll be using the DMC conversion). I got it from ECS as I also bought her other release Celtic Snow and wanted them to source the DD silks and Delicas for me

Oooo brilliant - I have Celtic Snow too! Have you seen Nicole's new Celtic Valentine release - that might be mine soon too!

Amanda, what an absolutely gorgeous design and how lovely to use the Soie d'Alger

I'll be watching this avidly, awaiting every new band with bated breath!

That is gorgeous!! Once I'm done here I will be off to HDF I think to get my threads so I can get started on this one. And now I'm thinking about that beautiful Celtic Snow. Whatever have you done to me??? I truly don't need another type of cross stitch to love. Have to check my fabrics also.

To say that I love this would be an understatement!!! The temptation is definitely getting stronger and stronger!! Beautiful update!!

Oh why didn't I order this on the 31st, before the Stich from Stash started (smacking palm to forehead)? I am going to get it for sure, though.

How hard do you think it would be to change the color spectrum a bit? I think I'd like to try it in more subdued earth tones, but I'm not sure it would be worth the effort. The main reason I love it is because it looks like it will be fun to stitch.

I would think that if you planned it out in advance you should be able to change the colors to whatever you want. I agree that what is intriguing about stitching it is the fun of the different stitches.

That is so beautiful Amanda and such great colours to go with it too. A beautiful update.

Now should I or shouldn't I go look at their website - mmmmmm will think about it.

I agree, and I'd likely change up some of the colors myself, if/when I do finally decide to get this one

Yup I saw it on Facebook but I think I'm safe from this one, I don't really like heart-shaped stuff. However I do love how she used rhodes as a filler in between some of the knotwork, it looks amazing!

Looking great Amanda! I may be starting this one with two of my local stitching buddies next weekend

I think it would be fairly easy to change up the colours - one stitcher has started to do that here. The charted colours are just light, medium and dark shades of 6 colours, so you could use the same principle and pick 6 colours and three shades of both - or pick any colours you like really!

Ooooo I hope so Dana - you'll love it and how lovely to SAL with friends IRL!

Here are bands 7 & 8:

Thank you for all your lovely comments

! Don't worry if you don't hear from me for a while - I'll still be stitching, but probably wont be posting as much as I have done

Stunning. Beautiful. Inspiring! That means that I am going to have to get back to my next bands sooner rather than later. I love the closeups of your stitching and am so glad that you "enabled" me into stitching this one also. Will miss your posts, but hope that you will get back to us before too long.

Wow beautiful stitching

karen4bells · Post by **karen4bells** » Thu Jan 30, 2014 3:27 pm

I love it!!! Great update and I can't wait to see the next one!!! I do have a question, is this stitched using one thread or two?? I'm guessing it's one!

Those look awesome!!!!! Well done.
