Really look forward to seeing this evolve!

I have all of them separately - I'd really like to stitch one or two of them but need to find someone who would like them, no-one in my family is interested, so I may just have to do them to keep myself.

That's a great design. I love the rich colours in the dresses. They'll be fab to stitch.

Great start, I'm looking forward to seeing this one progress

Love the bright colours of the roses and its great with the back stitching done too.

Great going Alinna.

Evelyn - hope you can get one of your daughters to put up a pic for us to enjoy too.

i did this one a few years ago and really enjoyed it. You are doing great with yours

So here's another update, I'm working on Catherine of Aragon's dress at the moment:

This kit seems to be missing one of the embroidery floss colors entirely - the one used to do the backstitching on the face. Since it's DMC, I probably have it in my stash somewhere, but a bit irritating nevertheless.

Evelyn, please do try to add a picture, would love to see your progress!

Excellent progress. I like the idea of stitching the backstitch as you go along, that's what I do now as well.

Hi alinna,it's looking good.

I forgot to ask my daughters to take a photo of mine & add it to the thread,we had such a busy day with so many sitting down to Sunday dinner etc,I never got round to using the computer,hopefully next time our daughter comes over.

I did want to ask you a question re the picture that comes with the kit.
I have almost completed Henry having reached the hemline of his tunic,& something is not right with my copy!
Just above the hemline there is a "wavy" line that runs across the front,on the chart the symbol for that line shows the colour to be Gold,however in the picture that comes with the kit that wavy line is definately shown as being BLUE!!
Would you please have a look at your copy & see if it is the same as mine.
I have done my line in gold as the chart shows but I don't care for it,& it wasn't until I looked at the picture I notice there is a differnce.

Great progress. That is annoying about the missing thread. Hopefully you can get another one ok

Rose · Post by **Rose** » Thu Apr 28, 2011 5:49 pm

You are doing beautiful work!!!!!!

Annoying about the missing thread. I'm sure they'd replace it if you contacted them too. It looks excellent!

Lovely, luscious colours for the two Catherines at the front.

The whole thing will look spectacular when finished.
But I can't help thinking that if all those wives had actually met together like that, the feathers might have flown a bit!
