Ooh, Angel - you've made a great start! And where did Chris get the scented threads at that price??? I'd love to grab a bunch at that kind of bargain!

Never heard of Paul Darrow/Kerr Avon but a great start to your project Angel have fun stitching him!

The stitching is coming together quickly! That'll be fun to use the scented floss. Chris sounds like a keeper!

My local hobby craft had a sale on when we went. Only on the scented threads though, which I thought was brilliant. I'm in the area again on Wednesday and can probably pick some up if anyone wants enabling. I can't promise which ones they'll have or if they'll still be on sale...but I'll look.

Sadly for Avon...I had to frog him. No problem with the chart (which is fantastic) but a lot of the shades had a tinge of green to them. At first I thought it would remedy itself, but the more I looked at it the more green it started to look. Go figure. So I frogged it ALL and went back to the shade list and...played. I began work again but on the hair instead. I'll post a progress pic later.

That's so annoying when the colors just don't look right. I'm sure you'll get it all looking good though. Looking forward to your updates on it!

I know. Chris thought I was going to cry while I was frogging it. But best I frogged now than be forever thinking it's too green

Yeah... I don't think green would do Paul Darrow justice
Scented threads! How cool!
Faith

Avon was anything but "green" so definitely worth playing around with the colours! Pity about having to frog though

They're really cool. They smell fantastic! Strong enough that you can smell them without stuffing them in your face.

hehe you know what? I am so going to have to watch Blakes 7 while stitching now. I think he had one green outfit...but this one should definately be black and white. He's a very black sort of character.

sorry about having to
