Well this is what I promised my mum for her birthday, but gave her the pattern I was planning to do instead of the finished product.

Learnt early on when doing my 'Millie' picture that nothing can be kept a secret from my mum, so decided she could watch me do this one..

So this is the finished picture of her adorable English Setter 'Bentley'...



...and this is how far I have got with it! Have to say that like the 'Millie' picture, this is a EXTREMELY difficult pattern and has 90+ colours !!!

Looks very blurry, but that is my fantastic camerawork!

wow what a fantastic picture and project!! You've made great progress on it already!!

That is brilliant. I am so impressed Looking forward to seeing more of this one

Wow! Very lovely! I bet ur mom is looking forward to see it when finished!

A lovely project and you have made a great start.

Awh thanks everybody!

To be honest, I wasn't sure about this one at all, but your comments are definitely spearing me on! Thanks guys xxx

I love the dog Beautiful picture and great progress

Wow, what a great gift! Such a lovely start too!

This is a lovely picture and is turning into cross stitch really well! I think with these the trick is to get a good-quality picture to start with, well-lit etc.
