You never know what might emerge!

Beautiful! Is this a pattern that is out now or an older pattern? Just curious...I need another project like a hole in the head, but.......

Its Amybear's Rhapsody and you can buy it here, B
http://www.berks.com/amybear/rhapsody.htm" target="_blank
or you can wait till I finish this, which won't be long.......My copy is slightly dogeared but perfectly usable.
As you can possibly see I didn't quite follow the pattern for every single block, and I chose different colours from http://www.hand-dyedfibers.com" target="_blank partly on grounds of cost, and partly because I just have to do things my way
! There was a Rhapsody stitchers group on yahoo when it first came out - no longer active but possibly worth joining just so you can look at the different approaches people took.
There's also a companion piece called Romance. Its a long way down my list, though! Like into the next life! These are big projects, all the fancy needlepoint looks fab, but its much harder work than cross stitch.

Thanks for the information! Of course, I don't think I should have gone to the website.Ruthi wrote:Its Amybear's Rhapsody and you can buy it here, B

The Seasons one really caught my eye!!! Thanks for the offer of borrowing the pattern. 
I think I'll pass right now. I have 2 projects that I really need to work on, and I'm already trying not to get distracted by the other 5 sitting at different stages waiting to be picked up. Re: Ruth's Rhapsody
