sorry for the awful picture. ive been trying to snap the cross-stitch which i sewed a number of years ago. i love the simple colour, the fishes gradually turn into birds. the haberdashers daughter completed the same piece of work, i saw it in my local haberdashers and knew that i had to stitch it. they framed the work too. ive been sorting through my projects, wondering what to do with them. i cant bear to part with them, the work that was involved, i remember what i was doing at certain times, with each stitch. im sure i will post more in the weeks to come.

Hi Em, such a clever design; and neatly executed. The snap's OK. I loved this piece as soon as it came onscreen :)
You are so talented, this deserves a place of prominence in your home.
Hi Em,
I love illusions like this. It is brilliantly done.
Those pics in the last post are great. The top one looks like Pacman has taken a bite out of the centre. I've never heard of the Ballard of Peckham Rye- must now go and google.
All the best

Lovely work Em. Don't get rid of your pieces - can't you frame them and hang them along a wall? One wall can hold an awful lot of framed pieces, especially if the frames kind of go together....I think it would look great. Homemade work is really special these days...
hi diver
thanks, i dont think ive done a piece with just two colours before. yet when i saw the design i knew i would buy it. x
