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 VEs designs is that it builds up quite fast, a leaf/floret can be completed within 2 to 3 hrs.
I tend to stitch all the colors of a section at a time. So if im stitching leaves Ill take a green and stitch all that shade of green in the area im working on. That section might be the whole page

I dont know if parking would be great for this chart. Theres only 4-6 colors per flower so it doesnt really bother me to run my floss across the back. But i wouldnt run it from flower to flower, im pretty sure that it would show through. I also dont 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?
I am doing the Poppy right now. Will upload some pics tomorrow, but nothing very much other than some leaves now bcos I only get to stitch on weekends
