It's looking gorgeous. I really like the colour scheme you're using for it. So pretty

I need to stitch this again at some point, but the sad thing is, I lost some of my files, the ToS included, and although I had contacted the mods back when they released the single file ToS, I never got a response. I ended up leaving the group without ever getting it again.

I have the last 2 files so I can see where things go overall, but lost the instructions and close up of positioning of each stitch. I think I could probably still do it though. Hope so as I still plan to stitch 4 of these as the four seasons in the future, and since I made that box and gave my original tree to mom, I really want to have it for myself at some point.

Oh no! I'm planning doing it again myself in different colourways, and I'd hate to lose the instruction pages - but I printed them out, I don't have them on comp or I'd send them to you. And if you were in the UK I'd make photocopies and post 'em to you!

I can probably find instructions on how to do each stitch online, I mean, I already learned them from Abi's instructions, I just need a reminder on what goes where first.

I should print out the files I do have.

The pic is still out of focus, but the colours are closer to reality. The fabric is actually quite a nice soft creamy colour. It looks a bit bleah in the pic.

Apart from some french knots the tree is now done.

Tomorrow I will do the knots, the rabbit and the flower.

I think your piece looks great. I need to think about redoing mine also as I was also going to do it in different colors to match the seasons. My first one was green so I guess that would be summer. You are inspiring me to pull the instructions back out again.

My closest friend saw this on Thursday for the first time and fell in love with it - so I am going to give it to her when it's framed.

Then I will have to do at least one more for me, won't I?

I won't be using the same fabric, though - that one is very soft, and I prefer something with a bit firmer texture.

I love your color choice!!
This looks so pretty. I have this kitted up to start on, but don't see anytime to start soon. My hubby wants me to finish starry night. LOL I think my stash allowance will be cut in half if I start to work on something else LOL

Thanks, everyone! (Laughs at maemae

Does he DARE he cut your stitchy allowance!???)

Final update, except for framing:

Finished! I'm quite pleased with this. I may do 1 or 2 extra pattern stitches before I wash it, just to adjust where I stitched the pattern so obviously incorrectly! But, basically - I'm done.

Oh, and I added a couple of lazy daisy leaves at the base of the flowers, cos I felt I wanted to.
