This small piece will hopefully be done by the end of the week. There is nother row of flowers all the way around & then another border. It is quite a cheerful piece to work on, and doesn't tax one's brain too much! I used a full 6 strands of floss for the purple outline & while that worked fine for the slanted (backstitched) lines, it seems too heavy for the Continental lines. I think I'll cut that down to 4 strands for the next one.Friday, February 4, 2011

That is so pretty. Not really my colours, but coming together so well that I really like it!
This is pleasant and cheerful, and not too complicated. I love the thread colors - personal preference. Using 4 ply instead of 6 does work much better on the "tent" stitches.
I'm really liking this design...will you be releasing this for sale after the retreat??

Thanks everyone. These aren't my colors either, but I do like it.
Joanie, I hadn't decided about releasing it for sale, but I guess I will.
Hi! I like very much your works by Jim Wurth. Could you please sell the patterns to me? I'm so interetsed in them, but unfortunately, can't find them anywhere in shops. I live in Hungary, will pay all p&p. Please, write me on smilylana@yandex.ru
