that came out gorgeous roda, thank you for posting it, those pencils are great for shading.
I'm thinking of cross stitch, I never have cared much for doing stem stitch, satin stitch, petals etc.
I'm also thinking in terms of a one sheet summer top, not batting and quilting it.
I just finished a candlewicking top using colonial knots (similar to french knots) and it is lovely but I'm tired of floss.
I really appreciate everyone's input!
