Mum's second piece - so far


Mum's second piece - a cover kit from a Cross Stitch Collection magazine. It has lots of shades very similar colours and she is finding this a real challenge. I think so many similar shades on such a small project is an advanced project! She plans to finish it over the weekend! She's been working on it on and off for four nights so far.

Would you believe there are four shades of red, three shades of purple, three shades of yellow, three shades of flesh tone etc ..... I admire mum;s tenacity - I would have thrown it away and done something else by now.

Going very well! I'm not an All Our Yesterdays fan...I think DMC overchart them with too many complications. The original artworks are gorgeous though and yer Mum's doing great.

Mum's discovered the complications :) She loves this series and pinched most of the magazines with these charts - but she;s also stated she doing a different piece for her third - something with less colours in it :)
