I'm using different fabrics, so each one says in the post with the pics what fabric I'm using. They're all different sizes depending on what design and fabric I use. :)

The first two were stitched on 18-count ecru aida, the third one was stitched on 28-count evenweave of an unknown colour from a Polstitches grab bag (it has pinky-browny-goldy tones through it).

THe colour of the thread didn't come out too clearly on the third one - it's more a deep burgundy colour than a purple and goes very nicely with the goldy-green I used on the back.

And thank you for the compliments everyone - I'm sitting here blushing!
