You know what, Mabel - I ordered way too much of it, I read the diagram wrong while I was ordering my supplies. I ordered 2 spools, and I only need about 4 - 6 inch lengths. If you pm me your address, I will send you my extra spool.

Aww, that's so kind! What would you like in exchange, some silks perhaps?

Lovely design,look forward to seeing your progress on this one.

This is going to be a real piece to treasure.

This is a lovely design and you have made a great start....it's surprising how much time fiddly bits take.
I am also doing a wedding sampler of doves and it is also for a wedding in July so we will have to keep each other motivated!!!

Thanks LadyM I saw your wedding sampler too, very pretty! We can cheer each other on! When is the wedding in July? The one I am going to is July 4.

July 3rd, so we will have to finish at the same time.

Thank you...not done any for a few days though as I am back to uni and I have been organizing myself....must do some later!

Thats a wonderful design I love the traditional style especially with all the different types of stitches. You have made a great start!

Great start!!

Here is my latest progress. I have finished the backstitch at the top, the Rhodes Heart and the Scotch Stitch.

I have to say I am loving the hand-dyed fabric from Silkweaver! This is the first time I've used their fabric and it is SO soft

Beautiful.

This is coming on wonderfuly, well done!

I have just started back on this one since I finished page 4 of the castle. Since my last update, I have done the oblique herringbone stitches, whitework cross stitches, satin stitches, the a line of backstitch followed by a line of tent stitch. I can't wait to see it with the beads added but I will have to hold off on adding them....

Oh pretty......

Oh this is lovely! I love all the different stitches! I would love to have a go at something like this with different stitches.

How fine!
All those different stitches make it so interesting and sophisticated! I love it

What a lovely design - all these speciality stitches make it so interesting. I love stitching Scotch stitch, but the others all look great too
