Beautiful! Is that one 2 over 1 as well? your stitches seem so petite.

very pretty, so very delicate!!

Tiff, both of them are two strands over two fabric threads, but the fabric is 36ct, so it works out at 18ct. I like the delicate look of this linen, it makes the whole thing look more dainty

This is a very pretty design, lovely colours.

So pretty!

I agree Mabel that fabric helps to make the designs look even more beautiful and dainty.

Just love the designs what a fabulous ideas you have.

Can't wait for these to come up on your website. I think they are absolutely beautiful

Some major re-charting has been going on with Bittersweet 3. It's much chunkier than the other two (which I intended, so that's OK), but having finished one of the purple floral structures it did seem a bit solid. I did the second one and finished a thread just as I had done the two outer petals and about half of the central petal, and I realised that I liked the look of that better than the completed one. But that means re-charting the green and yellow bits that crown the flower -- not to mention frogging half the central petal of the flower I had already completed . Oh well, better now that after completing the whole thing . We're out tonight so little or no stitching, but I hope to complete the new version tomorrow, with any luck.

Looking forward to seeing number three. Glad you've sussed the tweaking now rather than further down the line.

It took a bit longer than I expected, but Bittersweet is all finished now

Here the complete set, with #3 first because you hadn't seen that one yet

Gorgeous!!!!!

These designs make a beautiful trio!

Gorgeous! Love the designs, they really are just like Bittersweet. Such beautiful rich colours too

Beautiful. I am running out of words to describe how absolutely lovely your designs are.
