I stitched the main part of this earlier this year, but couldn't find the button required to finish it off ! This has now been rectified!
Lizzie*Kate is one of my favourite designers for fun, easy to stitch pieces that fit the relaxed style of this household! I didn't really like the designs when I first saw them, but I was involved in several online stitching groups where people were huge fans, and gradually I got sucked in ...
I enjoyed stitching this - it grew quickly, and I think the colours work well. Because it was such a long time ago, I can't remember exactly what I did - I think I used the DMC substitutions for most of the work (I'm not using over dyed threads for half a dozen stitches!) but I used overdyes for the alphabet, basket and foliage.
I have the other three seasonal baskets in my stash to stitch - someday!
