Your needle must have been smoking! I am sure you will tame that garden thing before you know it.

Sorry you had to re-start the walled garden, but it'll be worth it. Looking good already.

Thanks everyone.

Restarting wasn't as frustrating as I thought it would be actually, I'd hidden it in the bottom of a box and ignored it for a few months so the annoyance had worn off! Also I just started again on a new piece of fabric so no required; that would have been most unenjoyable.

Lorna - yep quite a bit of confetti in places in Tree of Life, less than my other WIPs though. The border is the worst bit.

Love your Round in Circles ones, so precise and neat. WOW you have made good progress on the restart too., Looking forward to seeing the next updates.

I like the Round in Circles, but those Chatelaine's...especially on dark fabrics...are breathtaking. I haven't done one yet myself, but it's definitely on my stitching bucket list.

I look forward to more updates.

Glad you've restarted the chatelaine, it is beautiful with so many colours. Also like the round ones, they are so delicate

Between you and Vanessa I feel as though I'm slacking.....these are gorgeous. I just want to stare at the Tree of life. It's colours are so rich.

On a side note, I was never taught the parking method, and it looks so complicated to me. I would have all those threads knotted and mangled.

Oh goodness I'm nowhere near as fast as Vanessa! I had quite a bit of time off in March. Stitching is good procrastination too; there will be less in April...

I find parking works for some projects and not for others - didn't use it for the Pointers last year. There can be a lot of threads but as long as you've parked in the right place it's all good! There's a good explanation on the Scarlet Quince website that I and others on here have found useful.

The colour on your Tree of Life is amazing - and your stitching is so precise.

How do you keep track of what all the colours are?

I have discovered (from reading this board) I am a cross-country stitcher. Who knew?

Wow amazing updates all of your work is really beautiful
