I received a copy of Cross Stitch Magazine for Xmas (Issue 248) and saw this pattern for a vintage bouquet with shades based on narrow-boat paint florals |
An excuse to go to Peter Jones to choose threads from the carousel, admire them and store them in my jammy dodger tin! |
As usual, OT tried to get in on the act.... |
Slowly the embroidery came to life and became addictive as the the flowers became visible |
Almost there... |
Finished! Just need to decide now whether to frame it or use it to make something else..... |
