This is the project that I am currently working on. I am calling it "Lovely Garden". This is what it will look like when it is finished:

Here is my progress as of 9.4.10:

And finally here is my progress after stitching for an hour or two yesterday

Hopefully I can get some more of the flowers done today. I am taking a break from the writing b/c I am dreading the backstitching!!!!!

That is really beautiful!!!!!

Very pretty

Lovely design great progress so far

Lovely design and your progress is great!!

Very lovely design and you've gotten quite far in a short time! I dread backstitching also, even when I try to do it as I go along. I even go so far as to leave some of it out if I think the picture looks good without it in some areas.

that really is a beautiful Design. It will look gorgeous when its all done. Good Job on the fast stitching. I also dread back stitching! I would rather do anything else.

Soo pretty!!

very pretty and great start!

Great start.

This is lovely and you've made a good start. Looking forward to seeing the flowers emerge.

Beautiful!

I'm curious...why does everyone dislike the backstitching? LOL I must be a weirdo, I love that part.

I think it is more of a love hate relationship with most of us. We love that it brings out the finer details of your project but hate the doing of it. For me it's that I hate working with only one thread and the eventual likehood that it will knot on me.

looking wonderful so far, it is going to be so pretty when it is finished

This is a very pretty design. You have made great progress!!

Very pretty!

That's really pretty. I love floral designs.

What a pretty design! I'm no so sure I'm comfortable with the wording though.. I can't keep my flowers alive to save my life
Faith

I can't either. I planted over 20 varieties of seeds this year and only the zinnia's, marygold's and bachelor buttons grew So next year I will plant more of them.

At least with the picture the pretty flowers will never wither away

I hope to post an update of my later today! The pink flowers actually look like flowers now!!!

Here is my progress from this past week of stitching

Started stitching on Saturday and realized that I had a visit from mean old So I had to restitch 1/2 of the yellow flowers. I didn't discover Mr. mischief until I was working with the 2nd yellow of the flower Most of the day was spent I almost set this aside and started working on another that is 1/3 done. That is how depressed Mr. made me!!!!
Will post more pics later.
