Congratuations! It is brilliant!
Love it! This is freaky but I must have been printing this chart out as you were posting your finished article.
That looks fantastic!!! Great color choices!!!!
Looks really nice Mel, I know it will be appreciated!
{grin} If its not, she can send it back to me :) Not bad for deciding on colours and threads in one night out of existing stash :) I think I could have done something better for the header and footer - but I'm happy enough if that makes sense.
LOL!
That's a fun one, Mel! And you chose those colours well, too!
Awww thank you - I'm sure I could have done better if I had dithered more - but this was the best I could do with the given time frame and existing stash :)
I think the colors are just right - and the piece looks wonderful. Congrats!
Great finish! This looks wonderful Mel!
It's super.
The recipient will just love it as it's perfect for her.
Printed the chart and will eventually stitch it for myself
I thought of changing it from coffee to tea and stitching it for Mr S :)
Looks great. Well done on finishing it so quickly.
Deadlines help :) :)
*STILL* waiting on thread in the mail .... four postal days and counting.
Third project progressing.
How about changing it to chocolate for yourself? Says the woman currently on "give me chocolate or I rip your throat out" week.
My body is never lifeless :)
