Have had several visits from Mr :ribbit: today on this one. I seem to have done, undone and redone the same few stitches several times.

That's so annoying when that happens. Last night I had the same with one of my TOF cards but the MOST annoying thing of all is, I now think it was right in the first place after all. :x :roll:

Had a bit of a scary moment with this tonight! Have worked my way down to the bottom left hand side and it looked as if it wasn't going to fit on the fabric :cry:
I don't know how I managed to not place it in the right place. Suppose it might be because of the design and the fact that there is no stitching any where near the middle of the design.

Anyway, happy ending coz it is going to fit it will just have to be framed very close to the stitching!

I'm loving this. If you need somewhere to hang it, I have just the space for it. The flower and fabric work so well together.

I'm glad it turns out to be just enough fabric! I am always afraid of something like that happening!

I have been doing quite a lot on this recently. As you can see it is nearly finished!

Just got one petal of one of the orchids to do but will be working on the Heaven and earth storykeep SAL this weekend.

Liz, Thank you for that - another question - are there fractionals and stuff or is it just full crosses ? - I'm thinking I could possibly do this (albeit a long time in the future :? ) on 14# aida. I know it won't look so good but I do really like this.
