Hi, I am Dolly & have just joined today, 5th June. Live in the UK & been stitching for a number of years. Love cross stitching brightly coloured flowers & quite often do what I call a 'busy' cottage garden. Enjoy doing rural scenes as well as occasional street scene.
After decorating other peoples homes with brightly flowered gifts I am now doing them to decorate my own walls Currently doing Riolis bunch of pansies. Have several Riolis, Anchor, Sunset & Dimensions kits but this is the first time I have stitched Riolis with woollen/acrylic threads. Riolis make is Russian but the acrylic threads are Italian in origin & the colours are pretty, nice to stitch with too. The pansy picture is looking colourful already even though I have only recently started it. Particularly love pansy faces as they make me smile
Do any other members stitch Riolis? If so, do you like the woollen/acrylic threads as much as I do or have you had any problems I should know about? Would be glad of anything you have to say about this make. It is lovely that it comes wound on cards with a notch for the end of each thread to be slotted into, makes things easier.
Looking forward to getting to know other members & learning new things
