faithcecelia Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 Ive been browsing for some cross-stitch patterns etc to take with me when I return to Carmel and I love this one[url="http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/Mother-of-Innocence-Chart-Booklet__CMH-04-1860.aspx?LineItemId=fd7f424d-97ea-4bdb-adf8-9489ef4b2ac7"]http://www.sewandso.co.uk/Products/Mother-of-Innocence-Chart-Booklet__CMH-04-1860.aspx?LineItemId=fd7f424d-97ea-4bdb-adf8-9489ef4b2ac7[/url].

faithcecelia Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 I think I'd be pushing it to finish by Solemn Profession, there would probably be months at a time when the light wasn't good enough to do any at all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took a petit-point work to be framed for her that had taken her 40years to complete - now that is determination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the moment I am going at least 2hrs cross stitch a day, in Carmel Id probably manage that in a week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faithcecelia Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I am leaning more towards the icon one (2nd one) as I know I won't be able to do the first in artificial light and so would take years and years. It is beautidul though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
