I am proud to say I have finally had a cross stitch finish. I have only been doing this cross stitch for 10 years. Fast aren't I? I bought the stitchery as a kit. It came with the 32 ct linen and silk threads.
You may wonder why it doesn't look quite like the picture. Well I lost the pattern while on holidays years ago and couldnt' retrieve it just as I had begun stitching the outer border. I decided that I did not need the outer border but also I didn't like the inner border of black checkerboard. So I have left both borders out. I like it the way it is and too late now as it is booked in to get framed. I can't wait to hang it in Miss M's bedroom.

I love the soft colours.
It is beautiful! SO elegant.
You just cannot go wrong with Shepard's Bush.
Oh lovely! I prefer yur version to the original, too many borders in my opinion. The inner border is so dainty, the eye can focus on it. Congratulations!
It will look great in Miss M's room
