But it has to be finished by mid August so I labour on! The colours are beautiful and I'm enjoying the delicate variation -especially in the lighter green thread which is called Avocado. Today I got some green cotton fabric for the basket lining.I'm stitching in one thread of floss over one thread of 28 count cashel linen - the threads are GAST, those specified in the chart "How Doth The Busy Bee" by Thistle Threads. Suzanne kindly loaned me the chart - thanks Suzanne.

wow...that looks pretty
It's beautiful,with such detail, then I read one over one, no wonder. Amazing work, CJ ok;-)
Well, Nima took my exact words! Wow, it is VERY pretty.
This is really, really pretty. I would love to see the colors in person, but I've also got an inkling (having done flowering vines similar to that before) about how much work is going into those leaves and blossoms. Kudos for sticking with it!
