I haven't posted much on my projects due to not stitching as much lately but I have recently started on a nice project that mauveme recently finished. I liked it so much that I asked her about the designer info and thankfully was able to get the design. It's a stained glass dragonfly design, stitched on an 18 count hand dyed aida(which has a slight dye flaw in it--notably that blue spot near the center top). Here is my progress so far

Yay! it's this beautiful design again. :whoop:

I can see why you loved it so much you had to stitch it - it's gorgeous. I love stained glass designs :wub:

You have made a terrific start :applesauce: :applesauce:

I wouldn't worry about the blue spot, it may well turn out to look like it's part of the stained glass, if not will it be covered by the stitches? In any case it will be unique on that lovely fabric.

:whoop: Wonderful to see this fabulous design being started again and good on you Karen for going after it. I love the fabric you are using and you sure have made a great start. As for the little bit of colour there, I agree with Maureen, it will look part of the fabric colour if it is at all visible.

A fabulous start to a gorgeous project. :whoop: :whoop:

You have already stitched all the outlines, that was quick! Now for the fun bit with all the colours. It is going to be fabulous! :D
The blue spot will be covered. I would not worry about it either.

Such a gorgous start! And I agree I wouldn't bother about the spot I'm sure it's either going to be covered anyway or it'll add a lovely touch to the piece.
