Started this tonight, had it in my pile for a few years, finally getting it done. Trying it on this purple splash 14 ct aida. Love the colour. So will my friend whom I am doing it for. Finally a start with Christmas. Picture is not the best, need a new camera. (or a better eye for taking pics lol)

Oh Linda that is gorgeous. I love it so delicate yet elegant too. On the purple fabric it will look awesome.
Looking forward to seeing it stitched.

That is beautiful and so is that gorgeous purple fabric your friend is going to love it

Great start and what a beautiful fabric!

The purple and white work well together. I really like the idea of a Christmas tree made with words.

Yes me too.....even though it's a bit early to think about The C word!!

Love this one, looks very pretty

Absolutely beautiful! I love that design and the fabric is perfect!

It is fabulous... but argh! The "C" word!

I'll use the 'q' word. It's mighty quick!

It does seem peculiar to be thinking of Christmas while sweltering.

Which I why I haven't done any stitching for a couple of days, it's just too damned hot to do much of anything. And the heat always affects me badly. It was so bad the other day after I did some housework, I got dizzy, had to lay down and keep my eyes closed, the room was spinning.. Not a happy camper..

so pretty

Got a little bit more done but it's just too hot to stitch for very long.

We can see the fabric better on this photo; It is fabulous

I know , so much better, that's the camera on my new iPad. Was going to buy a new camera but now I don't have to.

Thank goodness for the ipad - it makes it much clearer to see the pretty fabric and the beautiful stitching, A lovely update Lynda

Oh such a pretty update with the silver on the mauve. A good combination of colours there. Look forward to seeing it again.

Heard it is very hot in Canada. Did I read it was 47 c or have I got that wrong?

I is very hot here and the worst is the humidity (which accounts for the 47c temp most likely). We have been having a heat wave for quite a while and no relief in sight so far. My fans are getting quite a workout that's for sure.

glad you have fans working to help keep cool, we have one & it certainly helps. Sorry to hear you felt ill the other day after housework. The heat certainly takes it out of you when you try to do something.

Hope this lovely white tree is keeping you cool!
