The frame sounds like a great find, Rosemary, and the birds are really coming to life with the backstitch!

Surely they are not THAT big. In actual fact they had 3 frames that were 16 X 16 so I bought all three as I cannot leave frames in the shop if they could be at all useful.

No they're not THAT big! But they are square! Wait and see!!!

Oh dear now my mind is working out what other bird charts I have to make up a set to fit in a large frame together because I have some really large frames hidden away here too. I think my OH gave up years ago with me and frames.

Oh you're cracking on with this - it's lovely

Meant to say that I was really surprised when I looked at the backstitch/french knots information on the berries for this latest bird because they are done in 4 strands. Never done more than 2 strands previously so I was concerned but I must admit that these were the easiest french knots that I have ever done.

Oooohhh these are so pretty Rosemary and coming on really fast.

Beautiful!!

Yeah, thicker french knots can be easier--don't have to worry about pulling them through because there's too much thread.
