Thank you for you kind words! The design looks more difficult than it actually is. The designer did a great job of separating all the fractional stitches and single strand stitches in the color key. And that makes it much easier!

Agree with you, Jamie.  Her designs have lots of vertical rows, with different colours quite scattered.  Similar with her Wisteria and Poppy.  With Poppy, I do all the vertical stitches for the stalk in 1/2 stithces, completing them later.

For Wisteria, like fuchsia, the florets are individuals, so a lot of starting/finishing/restarting.  You reckon needle parking may help ?

One nice thing about VE's designs is that it builds up quite fast, a leaf/floret can be completed within 2 to 3 hrs.

Cheering you on, Jamie :)

Cheers, p

I tend to stitch all the colors of a section at a time. So if i'm stitching leaves I'll take a green and stitch all that shade of green in the area i'm working on. That section might be the whole page or maybe just 2 or 3 leaves depending on my mood.

I don't know if parking would be great for this chart. There's only 4-6 colors per flower so it doesn't really bother me to run my floss across the back. But i wouldn't run it from flower to flower, i'm pretty sure that it would show through. I also don't give a rats patute how the back looks. You could give parking a go if you think that it will work better for you.

So which one of these lovely designs are you stitching? do we get to see pics?
