I have loved watching this one from the start. It looks amazing! I really want to try and have a go but a bit scared of the speciality stitches. I know there is a cross stitch only version, but I love the look of the different stitches. Are the instructions easy to follow for a beginner? Thanks in advance for any advice

Doris, I don't think Amanda will mind my replying to your question about how easy or hard the instructions are. I am also stitching this piece thanks to a shove (actually it was a little push, but calling it a shove makes me feel slightly less guilty about adding another project to my list ) from Mrs MBK. It is wonderfully fun to stitch and I think the instructions are very clear and easy to follow. I found it most helpful to view the instructions from my iPad so I could enlarge them. and it also helps to look at the close-ups of the stitches that Amanda has posted. If you decide you want to try it with the specialty stitches I'd say go for it. Maybe try them out on a sample piece first. With stitches I'm not sure of I often will use left over fabric and DMC thread instead of the HDF floss. The hardest part for me is the counting because I don't do a lot of over 2 stitching. I would love to see you try this one. And it would look lovely in cross stitch. The colors are wonderful.

Wow Amanda it looks absolutely fabulous! Of course all of your stitching is divine and this is no exception. Such a lovely piece.

[Fizzbw]

It's wonderful!!

I loved this one so much when I saw you both doing it I got it, the one with the speciality stitches as although the cross stitch only version is lovely I wanted the full Monty! When I get to do it is another thing though....

See I told you Carole!! And you said you weren't guilty of enabling!!

But then again I think Amanda is as much to blame I don't think she should get away with it either!

Who am I kidding....we love your enabling!!
