A small start on my new project. Hopefully I will finish this soon as it contains no backstitching:

Lovely start on a very nice design, I think I see a banana appearing

your crochet is lovely and the fruit design looks good enough to eat -- it looks very detailed, what is the stitch count?

Thanks for your encouraging comments

Mabel, the stitch count is 274 x 208 stitches. The fabric I used is 18-count, the finished size will be 15.22 inches x 11.55 inches.

Sorry it's been awhile since I last posted my progress on Tropical Fruits. Here's a photo of my update.

I would also like to share some photos of a cross stitch exhibit as well as of some goodies:

They look good enough to eat:

Are you planning on doing others from the exhibit?

Wow that is a great project, they really look as if you could pick them up and eat them.

Thank you for your comments and for dropping by on the blog.

Carole, I'm thinking of doing the bamboo dance or the sunset, but my hands are full right now, so I might just wait for that elusive "one day"...
