Finished this one. I am actually really pleasd with the way it looks but despite frogging numerous times it has ended up nothing like the pattern and I have had to make the middle flower and one of the legs of the A up as I have gone along.

It's a beautiful finish, and I'm impressed with your charting. The middle flower is especially lovely. :applesauce:

I'm doing this one and this s how far I have got so far.

It's really refreshing to do something with so few colours. I don't have to keep looking at the chart. Hoping to finish this one in this week's rotation.

The color is very pretty on that fabric. I can see where it would be a relief to only have a few colors to deal with.

Looks lovely, and I like the shading with so few colours -- is it just the two yellos? They are used very effectively!

And have just made a start on the next but now going back to HAED tulips. This one is being stitched on lovely opal fabric with the sparkle running through the thread. Can't really see it on the picture.
