Very pretty finish!

Very pretty

This has turned out beautifully!! Great stitching--I've been wanting to do this one up myself and may just have a go at it very soon!!

Just Lovely

Beautiful finish

Thanks everyone for your comments, and Karen, go for it, it is a relaxing and enjoyable design to stitch, would love to see your colour choice(s) if you do!

LOL okay, you've twisted my arm, I've printed the chart up--now just need to go thru my stash and sort out what fabric and thread to use--I so want to use one of my carrie threads ones

Good choice as they (or at least the ones I had) are longer than some of the other brands so you shouldn't run out Look forward to seeing your fabric choice too, and piccies!

hadn't thought about the floss usage, do you know about how many yards you used? Mine are 8 yd of 6 strands and what count fabric did you use?

Super!!!!!!

I used 2 strands on 14ct aida and I would estimate it used about 6 yards of 6 strand floss - you should be fine with 8 yards even allowing for cutting some threads short for continuation of colour change (This was not necessary with my Dragon Floss as the floss ended in the same colour it began but the Carrie's Creations thread did not)

Thanks for the info Johanna--I've found some nice ice blue aida in 16 count and I'm going with Carrie's Tropical Storm--should be interesting

I posted this on the other forum but adding an updated pic to my SAL thread. This is Landscape Silhouette 1 from Artecy.com



Really enjoying this one, am sure when I get back to finishing the larger blocks on the bridge I will find it a little tedious but so far so good! lol

Great work! Love the buterfly!

This is coming on great. Doesn't it look good!

Very nice!

It's looking great!
