Well I came across this pattern in my binder of things that I want to do and I felt like I HAD to start right away.

Unfortunately I don't know where it came from haha. I had to trim it up to fit into my binder.

Here is how far I have gotten:

I am working on 18 count Aida for a change. I am a little sad I can't find some colors in my stash so I need to go shopping...oh darn lol.

Thanks everyone! I hope I can get out tomorrow to get these threads...I think it will look like I have done more with filling in a lot of the blanks! Here is as far as I got tonight:

As much as I want to continue its 5am here and everyone is going to be up in an hour and I know if I am still up when they get up I won't hear the end of it....

I love how fast it is to stitch though! Lots of blocks of color.

Nice start!! It will be lovely when finished. I'm not sure, but it reminds me of something I saw in an older JCS magazine - it may be only that it was also a peony pattern? Looking forward to more updates.

The finished design looks so 3-dimensional so I can't wait to watch this come together.

Thanks everyone I am so excited to finish it. It isn't that big of a project either so I feel like I am flying through it. The first flower is practically already outlined! Thanks so much for the encouragement...I swear I will finish this one!

We did too! All I can remember though were the ants that lived on ours :( The bloomed for a few weeks though and it was well worth it! Such pretty flowers :)

That's a very pretty design and you are making amazing progress. Love the fabric colour, it looks like an oatmeal?....
