Beautiful work it's coming on well

Beautiful!!!

What a pretty update and you certainly are moving along with this lovely design.

Thank you all. Internet not been good recently during the recent windy weather so got on with this & did a bit more reading as well!

Nicola, you can see I never bothered to get crease out of Aida - I was too keen to start this design

Beautiful work and I love the vibrant colours of your Kingfisher, I'm looking forward to seeing more

Thank you Lulu. He now has a tail & a branch to sit on so it is coming along

You're right about the designers eye for colour. And your stitching is equally beautiful!

Thank you very much for the lovely comments Serinde I am very near the end of the bottom left so will post update when that is completed> I can then go top right & do more leaves! That section will finish its head too so not all greens

Wow, you are certainly stitching fast! What gorgeous colours and design!

Thank you Poppy. I am enjoying stitching this

Finished bottom left this evening & here is pic of it now.

You really are making great progress and it is such a lovely design. Well Done.

You're really making progress on this one. It looks beautiful! I can't wait for the next update.

Thank you both

Wow you're a speedy stitcher! It's looking great! I can't wait to do more of Mavis when I get home, I've been away on holiday all week xxx

Great progress! I love the colors of this one (if I'm repeating myself its because I really love the colors. Reminds me of a watercolor painting)

Speedy Stitcher!

It's a super speedy and a gorgeous update Izzi

Thank you all for your lovely compliments Have since done part of his head, need to finish eye & beak this evening.

I really do love this because of the colours. Directly I saw the chart I thought the yellow iris complimented the blues & apricots of the kingfisher. When I go bottom left the marsh marigolds add a slightly darker yellow along with the very dark green leaves they have. You can just see the start of the leaves ln this pic. To the right of those, in the corner, will be white flowers. Not sure what they are. I keep thinking of wood anemones ( wind flowers) but I don't think they are.
