Not started the stitching yet but I did get all of the thread together, zigzagged the edges of the fabric. Made a working copy of the pattern and I hope to get a few stitches in tonight. We are suppose to have company for dinner tonight though so not sure how this is going to go as far as my stitching time.

I love poppies! Can we see what the design will look like (please?), or are you going to do this as a mystery stitch for us ?

I second the motion for pics....maybe just a corner if it's a mystery?!?

photos please

Looking forward to seeing this as I poppies

I can't wait to see this Rose

This is the pattern that Kell passed on to me



And this is the start I was able to do last night after our dinner guest was taken care of. The picture does not show it off well but the fabric is a very pretty minty green color.



Should go rather quickly as there is a lot of half stitching of the grass and background then once it is stitched I am going to stitch the Poem Flanders Field over top of the poppies.

pretty pattern and great start

That's gorgeous, Rose, it's going to be lovely to stitch. Looking forward to your next update.

It's lovely, Rose! Great start!

What a wonderful idea to put the poem at the top, it'll be a very special project!

Oh, this is a lovely pattern, Rose!!!!!

Nice start, too. Good luck with it, I hope you'll enjoy it.

I it, great start and the minty green fabric sounds lovely

Ohhhh I've got this one in a magazine! It's lovely isn't it!
Look forward to seeing it progress! Great start!

Nice start! I'm so glad the pattern went to a good home where it'll be stitched and enjoyed.

Well it was being a bit bad. I had printed out the pattern to mark it but I could only get it one size larger. The symbols were very small and I was frogging just about everything I worked because the count was off. So last night I asked hubby what I had done wrong and he put it through the enlargement program and blew it up for me now I can actually see the squares and I am getting on much better. I hope to have a full day of stitching today so I will take pictures tomorrow and show some progress.

Hope the new enlarged chart will make all the difference!

Oh this is lovely. Poppies are so bright and cheery they always make me smile.

Thats a lovely piece and a great idea rto personalise it with the poem too I look forward to more progress now you have the pattern sorted!
