That's really pretty Mayne.

Lovely coloured Butterflies and liked the Smile Bookmark and the Rose looks very unusual .

What a fantastic rose. I would not have thought to do it in varigated. It looks Super!!!!!!!

Lovely work

It is really great, what creativity!

YOur bookmark and card are really pretty, and I love the effect the variagated threds have on your rose, it is really striking.

Very nice and very pretty

Thank you.

I'm working on another mini one right now since working on the large WIPs seem not appropriate ATM. Working again has left me soooo little xstitching hours and I can just easily make progress in xstitching mini ones. I'm working on a Tantes Zolder (I hope I spelled it right) free design and am using metallic thread on it.

Very nice.

I have a question did you do each cross stitch individualy or do a row of half cross stiches and then come back to complete the cross?

Love all your recent projects charmagne

Hi, maggs For the variations thread...I do the crosses individually. Someone also adviced me on that.

I have made a start on a Tantes Zolder free design...I used DMC metallic jewel effects E703...this is what I have done so far....

Oooh I love butterflies and that thread is gorgeous!!

Thanks! It will be four butterflies in a square design...using metallics make xstitching a little slow as it keeps on fraying...but I'm coping up with it...

In my extremely limited (like 2 days worth) experience, using Thread Heaven definitely helps a ton with this!! Can't wait to see more progress pics

Whose design is this?

The jewel effects works really well doesn't it. This is loking lovely, can't wait to see more.

Love the butterfly

This is so pretty
