Crossstitchforum - A FREE forum for Cross Stitchers

What a frustrating situation, but I'm so glad to see this had a happy ending. Cheers to Mabel for saving the day! I love how helpful the stitchers on this board are to one another. Can't wait to see more progress now that you have the right color

Finally have an update/ Flower finished , just one leaf left and the boarder. Looking forward to framing the pair.

And I used PostImage, so much easier than flickr. Will stick with this and get rid of PB
If you click on the thumbnail it will go directly to the original at postimage so you can see the larger copy.

Sorry I can't see this but I guess it will be lovely.

See I've got same avatar as AlwaysGoofy so must sort pics out.

Mauveme, it says the picture was removed did you try to move it to a different folder? In that case I think you need to change the link to the new location.

Oh dear, thanks Mabel. I did move it. Wasn't thinking. Here is the new location

Absolutely beautiful with such rich colours!
Where will you display it?

This is exquisite and takes me right back to the garden behind the house I grew up in. My grandmother planted Iris bulbs that grew beautifully every year until the summer my mother died, 27 years later. I just love this!!!

Beside the Clematis on my living room wall. I have two 11" sq frames and they both are 10"sq. Couldn't have worked out better.

Fabulous. I it! That will look so good with the Clematis

I agree!! Very very pretty!!

That is awesome Linda and such rich colours and oh so beautifully stitched. Well Done.

Absolutely beautiful!

What a stunning design and exquisitely worked. Love it

It's finished, the boarder is fiddly but well worth the affect. Now to frame them both.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!

The effect of the border is just right, in its own geometric way it beautifully echoes the colours in the curvaceous flower!

Beautiful finish! They look lovely and the border is gorgeous, despite the issues with changing colours so often.

Was hoping to have them framed yesterday but the mounting boards were too small. So will have to order larger ones. But at least that gives me a chance to order more floss that I need for my Christmas stitching, which is next . (Going to order another 209 too see what
colour I get--that's the one the wonderful Mabel sent me )

What a beautiful finish! The border finishes it perfectly! You must be so chuffed with it
I wonder which frame will you choose?

The size dimensions of the two are 10" Square. I just happened to have two frames that are 12" square. They are a blond wood and if I don't like the look I will paint them, probably black.
