I have run out of thread for my Helga Mandl pinkeep and so close to finishing
I will be ordering some more this week.The orangy colour is a little less orange in real life,
,
but I am pleased with the balance of the colours. I wanted to show the transition from blue to red and via versa ,as much as possible too.

I know what you mean Mabel.I think that is why this design caught my eye. I will stitch this again a few times at some point possibly with one solid colour to start with.
Just noticed an error in my counting
have re-done it now.Not changing the pic though. The two sets of 5 blue crosses on the left side were in the wrong place,should line up like the red crosses on the other side

You have done a lot on this one. Great progress. I love what you did with the colors too. It will be interesting to see it in different colors and how that effects it. I can picture several different varieties.
