    Thank you Jan

    The stitching is about nine inches high and six and a half inches across. (sorry don't do metric!).

    That's lovely Pam

    I'd imagine the backstitch looks much softer in brown, and think black would be too harsh for such a delicate picture?

    that's lovely, and I'd say the backstitching works, I love it in the boquet, the trailing bits, really delicate looking
