Lovely picture. Sorry about the :anotherfrog: visit.

Regarding beads, I definitely agree about waiting to the end to decide. Looking at the kit picture I can understand your concern and Sally's French knot suggestion might be a good compromise. Or you could just add as many beads as you're happy with then fill in the rest of the gaps with stitching.

Pleasant Row Cottages - Update 7/12

Post by kingfisher68 »

Thank you ladies for your comments & also thank you Rosemary for suggesting another option at the end.

I have today finished my first page, although in numerical order it is page 4 as I prefer to start in the middle of charts. I am so pleased to have done a whole page, didn't realise how good it made you feel although this is not nearly as large as many on here. it will still be my largest project yet :dance:

Will now go upwards to page 3, as once I've done a bit more greenery it will be top half of cottage, roof & then sky so changes of colour from this page. After 2nd page is complete will go on to another project & alternate between the two. That will be Dimensions Mai, geisha.

:applesauce: :applesauce: Congratulations on finishing the first page!! Doesn't matter where that page is (corner,top,center,etc), there is a special feeling when the first page is done! Doesn't matter how large or small a project is either. This is so pretty and you are making good progress!

Latest picture. If I lived in a place like this would do B&B. And if gardens at back were large enough would have a summer house to sit & stitch in. Would invite fellow crafters once a week & anyone who wanted company, a cuppa & a chat.

Colours are darker than on chart picture. These latest threads are different colours to lower section so am not getting bored with it yet.

Wonderful progress!

I have to say, I agree, if that were a B&B, I don't think I'd ever want to leave!

Save a room for me too, please! And a space in the summer house with the stitching group, of course!
Beautiful progress!

I agree I doubt if any of us would move out from such a lovely B&B with the bonus of a group to stitch with. :lol:

Great progress and beautiful stitching. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

Thank you all for your lovely comments :) I am enjoying stitching this as it is turning into a lovely picture. So many colours in the roof which don't show up a lot in the photo. Several shades of mauve, green, brown & greys. When I first picked up the mauve I thought how unusual a colour it is to add to a roof but when all shades are together they meld into each other. The designer is John Hassall & he has certainly excelled himself with this beautiful design. Wonder if he has done others. Will have to look although I have plenty to keep me going for eons, it would be interesting to see more of his art work. Doesn't hurt to look does it? Famous last words :roll: !

That's looking wonderful. It's amazing how "wrong" colours can blend into a picture.
