Oooh, are you doing the Iris Fairy? I love that design. If I had a time machine I would stitch the whole series, it's just delightful.
Sadly lacking a time machine, I shall instead watch yours taking shape!!

Yes, Slinky, I'm doing the Iris fairy and loving it--will start a new thread for it when I get ready to post my next update.
Julie, I hope you manage to locate a copy of the magazine soon--it's really a nice issue.

Got my kreinik threads and beads in the post today, so I now have all the materials I need

Glad you like it so far Kell--just had some spare Anchor threads and that was one of them. I'm thinking of using a variegated pink for the letters

I've finished the friend bookmark--well the stitching anyway, still need to make it into a bookmark--chose a rather bold color for the lettering, using the free roscae thread #444 that I got--here's how it turned out

That stitched up really well! How did you find the Rosace threads to work with?

Lovely pieces! I really like the hearts on fire (hearts A fire?) thread!

very pretty, I love the colours!

Very nice!

Thanks Mabel--the Rosace thread stitched up mostly like DMC, just a wee bit thinner maybe but as I was working with 18 count, I still only needed 2 threads to get good coverage

The bookmark stitched up nicely.

That's so lovely and bright. Really looks great.

awwwww thats lovely, im sure your friend will love it

This bookmark turned out great.Love the bold lettering.

Lovely stitching, the yellow reminds me of Spring daffodils.

Wonderful finish!

Beautiful

I love the colours you chose! I'll wait till you post a pic of the finished bookmark thenI'm going to pinch it and pop it in the gallery!

Glad you like it Kell--hope to get a picture of it pressed and finished within the next couple of days--currently stitching up your bibliophile bookmark in purple variations thread that I got free from Rosace and loving it too!! Your designs are great!!! Thanks

Love the bookmark, great colour choices
