:wub: this design - reminds me of Walter Farley's the Black Stallion who I adored when I was a kid (books and the film). It looks amazing on a dark background but I certainly applaud you for doing this. I have a current project on the go which I'm stitching on 14ct black aida and I'm finding it hard...

well done

the design and great start. I personally prefer how the colours looked stitched than how they look on the kit picture

fab finish and such warm, vibrant colours

Great photo, especially of a bird that is seen as exotic over here and yet is rather like a Blue Tit or finch for you.

Welcome to the forum and to congrats on your life-long addiction

Would love to see some pics of what you're working on/got you started

gorgeous finish. Love how the backstitching really brings the detailing out

I like the second one. But with either the first or second, I might change the yellow wording to a different color- depending on how it looks against the fabric. It may blend in, or just be the wrong tone. This did cross my mind when I started looking at oatmeal/cream farbric. :thinks: :thinks: wha...

She's beautiful! Just thought that holding that white rose she could almost be Anne Neville or a young Cecily Neville (Richard III's wife and mother).

:wavesback: A friend of mine is leaving work at the end of July so I have decided to squueze in a last minute project as a leaving gift: http://www.stitcher.co.uk/images/sendBinary.asp?path=/images/stock/SSN31941LARGE.jpg I want to change the fabric as white is a bit dull. I was thinking of a vintag...

Been a Trekkie since I was a kid and was sad when Enterprise ended and there was no more Star Trek on TV. Went to see the new film the day it was released as it was the same day as my birthday Really enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

Do wonder if they will ever re-boot Next Gen?

gorgeous, gorgeous design. I adore white tigers and this is looking stunning

the design and the rich colours in this.

Maud - thanks for the Sew & Sew suggestion. I'll give them a try as the Russian company have replied to me saying they don't make the kit so can't supply me any more thread :doh: Mabel - I would use my own stash of threads but the trouble is I don't have any kit thread samples to compare my DMCs...

One word: WOW!!

Beautiful updates. Loving Grandma's Bouquet

well done on another superb finish. Can't wait to see it framed

great progress, well done

Fabulous finish and the colours are so vibrant.
