Thanks all, for your compliments.

My snap frame didn't stay empty for long.
I have resurrected my one and only ufo and it is a long standing one..from 1998.
My dad bought it for me in the National Trust shop at Knights Hayes in Devon, on one of our visits to see him. It is from a portion of an embroidered version of William Morris's "The Vine" wallpaper. This is where I left it 13 years ago. It has no fractionals,confetti, blending or back stitch and I love the colours. I had trouble following the chart in '98, I was only 4 years into cross stitching, and the grape outlines gave me many :ribbit: visits. I did a bit of stitching last night so I hope to have an update soon.

That tiger is absolutely amazing the way he is jumping out of the frame. well done on the framing too.

I do like the William Morris one too, its colours are gorgeous. I am sure you will finish it this time it is out.

Your other projects are great too especially the hardinger.
