It's looking lovely. Those roses are so lifelike

Thank you Carole

That is growing along beautifully and oh so colourful. A lovely updat e

Thank you Carole. HAve gone back to Overlook Cafe & am just about to add latest pic.

7 nights work on this again. More green to be done on flower jug but decided to stitch some other colour after finishing the greenery on the trellis.

The green stones on the wall, right hand side, are half cross stitch & are bottom right to top left as told to do it on chart. Looked on main picture & it is correct, slabs under the table & chairs will be like that too. On Overlook Café half crosses were stitched bottom left to top right as depicted on their chart & how I have always done them.

nice to see this one again.
The half cross stitches add a different texture ....I like that

I agree. They almost give a 3D perspective. I have seen the directions going either way for half stitches. I would guess it depends mostly on the designer's preference.

The half stitches certainly give depth to this gorgeous design. A lovely update and it is growing beautifully well .

Thank you Sally. A few more flowers along the flower beds have grown since this update

I still love this design, Riolis does make some beautiful patterns with the different stitches they use.

Gorgeous.
Really gorgeous. Can't wait to see it finished.

Thank you all for your lovely comments. This is not as complicated or detailed as many projects on here but it is very tranquil to stitch. And lovely soft Aida fabric, the nicest I have worked with.

This is so pretty, and I agree that the half-cross stitch lends depth and interest

This is beautiful.look forward to more updates

Thank you both

Another weeks work. Am doing white tablecloth now but it doesn't show up. It will next week when I have done the shadows

This one is looking more beautiful and true to life each time I see it. A lovely update.

Such a beautiful piece, and a wonderful update. Looking forward to seeing more.

I like this one more and more!

Thank you all
