I really like the Artecy designs. You've made a great start on this and it'll be beautiful when completed - I like the fabric choice for it.

I did and he said "you stitch, I'll buy"
Its the 1st Artecy pattern Ive tried so I'm hoping its ok. I'm using a hoop for the 1st time too as the Aida is very soft and the holes are hard to see without it being stretched

Mabel hes not a bit of trouble
Lots of the Leopard colours in this one but using different symbols so I'm finding it hard to get it right

I don't normally stitch flower designs but this one is very subtle and pretty!

I'm worrying about this too for after Queenie is done, won't be able to break the colour/symbol association for a long time!!

Louise its the 1st Flowery thing Ive stitched. Trying to get the Queenie colours out of your head isnt going to be easy
What are you stitching next?
