OK - I'll admit to liking the Laura Perrin pages the best.
So - how are we going to run this folks - the picking of the project to
start.
Other discussion???

I would enjoy stitching any of them, with the exception of the Blackwork
ones. The Gardens and the Seasons look like a lot of fun. I like
different stitches, and different threads. Can anyone tell me the count
of the canvas used??
It looks as if Laura Perrin gives pretty good instructions, and I can
always cry "help".
Maybe I had better sit my butt down and finish the Project From
Hell....which started off as sheer fun.. Masses of confetti stitches,
using five shades of green for the Grass. If I had realised what a PITA
it would have been, I would have just used variegated floss, and be done
with it. Right now, I am just scattering the colors around, with no
regard to the instructions. When it looks half-way decent I will stop,
finish the backstitching and writing and RUN to the framer. The aunt
won't know the difference!

Those were my favorites. Like the stained glass one on the Rainbow Gallery
page too.

I think most of her things are done on 18 mono canvas. I kind of like the
Seasons best, but would go along with the majority happily.

There's no need to cry and get your work all wet. And I doubt you'll have
to yell for help. There's enough people here who just love to give help
even when you don't want it, so surely they will be happy to help when you
do.
Several of us have done pieces like this in the past and we have some
wonderful teachers here who actually can explain what to do clearly, so
surely you won't have to yell too loud. A quiet little request ought to do
it.

OK..how hard is it to see 18ct canvas? 18ct Aida is about beyond me
now...I tend towards 25-28 over 2 even weave, linen etc. Maybe the holes
appear bigger in canvas...man, I m a newbie at this. It is rather exciting!
Summer Breeze may be a bit blue for TM; they all look so pretty, though.
