I'm doing it on 14 ct. antique ivory aida. I'm enjoying working on it because it is so simple stitching on it versus fighting linen. The DMC threads are a welcome change from overdyes.

ABOUT FACE!
It's been a bit of time since I did a Marty Bell. I love the designs: old English cottages. I just framed an oval and have now started another. This one is very pretty and, as I understand, is the front view of another of her ovals called "Murle Cottage". I'm going to order it because I think they would be a great pair.

Marian, did I enable and tempt you to start another MB? I have both of those patterns .......hmmmm...I have seen Chaplains Garden inn real life stitched and it is so pretty. Have fun...Love Coral
Marian, I did Chaplain's Garden as my first cross stitch piece ever! I couldn't help myself, I am a cottage fanatic, I have fantasies of living in Bluebell Cottage in Kew Gardens. I have also done Murrel cottage and it is a nice companion piece. You will love stitching this one.
I love those cottages! Have fun stitching it....can't wait to see it in progress!
That'll be beautiful when it's finished, Marian!
What a lovely project to be starting
This will be beautiful. Keep us posted on your progress - looking forward to watching it grow!
