So cute! Well done on a lovely finish

Congratulations on your finish

This is lovely!! The fabric was a perfect choice for the design, almost finished.....have you got a frame for it yet?

Well done on your finish. It looks lovely

Looks lovely...I did this one myself couple of years ago and its still one of my favourite Birth Samplers.

Awww that is beautiful, great stitching!!

I love this design. Lovely stitching and a great chioce of fabric

Thanks everyone I did attempt to frame it with a frame I had and it was a perfect fitm, but somehow I managed to crack the glass in the process so I will have to buy another frame.
But in the meantime heres my next project Teacher Row by Bent Creek


Ive stitched almost half of it and its stitching up very quickly, which is good because its going to be a Christmas Present for my MIL, whos a childminder and incredibly difficult to buy a gift for. Shes a very practical person so I thought this would be perfect in the playroom she has. Its small unlike most projects with an alphabet theme and it has a bus in. She drives a minibus and although the one she owns now is white, the very 1st Nanny Bus ,as my children call it, was red. So I have changed the yellow bus to a red one. Im also going to personalise it somehow. I will post a pic of my progress as soon as the batteries are charged on the camera

What a fund design.

That's a cute design, and it sounds like it will be perfect for your MIL! Looking forward to seeing your progress with it.

As promised, heres where I am with Teacher Row, its so lovely to stitch as you can see progress almost immediately after starting
Im using the dmc colours instead of the hand dyed ones they use.

very nice!!! I like this a lot!!

Very cute, looks like you'll be done in no time. what count are you using?

I love the red bus!!! It's looking great!
Faith

Your birth sampler is adorable!

This one for your MIL sounds like a perfect gift and it's a really cute design!

Great work!!

That is a really fun looking pattern and you have done so much already!!!!!!

Looking good

This is really cute, and personalising it will make it special.

To go back to the frame with the cracked glass -- just don't use the glass. I usually frame my stitching with no glass.
