I enclose a picture of Pearl stitched in black grey and gold . She's only just finished and I haven't yet had time to iron her or get her framed.

Now I've finished her I can't wait to get started on her companion Coral so I can display the two together.

I was delighted with the large clear, easy to read chart and particularly pleased that I didn't have enlarge it to be able to stitch in artificial light where my eyesight isn't too good.

Each colour was shown in different colour on the chart which was a nice touch.

The fabric provided in the kit had a generous selvage and I had loads of thread left over and I even got on well with my first attempt at using metallic thread.

This was my first attempt at blackwork too but thanks to your excellent instructions it wasn't difficult and I will be doing lots more.

I've really enjoyed stitching this design.

Awesome Job!

Patricia: I love seeing your completed project. I am starting this chart this morning, and it's nice to see a completed one. This will be my first black work project also, with the exception of the "Pears" chart I did to get a little experience with this technique. I hope mine comes out as well as yours. Please post Coral once you have completed her.

Wow Patricia,

You have done a wonderful job for your first ever piece of blackwork embroidery.

I am so glad you enjoyed stitching her and found the chart easy to follow.

Have fun with Coral.
