Present for my Mother - Seaview out of the window
I am starting a little project which I hope to finish in less than two month, because I want to take it to Italy with me when I go to see my family and I want to give it to my Mother!
I’ve started this topic to share the progress with you.
It’s a kit I bought from the internet but I don’t like the fabric it came with, so im only using the threads and the chart from the kit.
Here is the threads
I bought a cream colour Aida fabric to stitch this one, but it was supposed to arrive today and it didn’t! I’m a bit annoyed. Hopefully tomorrow!

It is a window with curtains and flowers and you can see the beach and the sea outside, with the boats, it’s very pretty.

I edited the first post, I put a picture of the front of the kit so you can see what it will be.

That is very pretty and refreshing looking out the window at the sea and boats on it. I hope your fabric arrives tomorrow.

Re: Present for my Mother - Seaview out of the window
Yesterday I was out all day and when I arrived home I found my Aida fabric waiting for me in the post box!
I was tired but I didn’t care, I got started straight away!
It’s a beautiful warm colour and I think it is suited for the beach design. Not that you can really see it in the picture though.
So I got started from the top left corner last night, here is a close up of what I’ve done
And here what I’ve done this morning
I can’t believe I got up at quarter to 7 on a Sunday morning just because I wanted to do this!
So I’ve officially started on my mum’s present!
