I'm soo pleased with it and it now takes pride of place in the living room.

Jude, that's beautiful, good choice to have it on the black fabric, with the light frame, it's really quite stunning!

I'm being tempted by http://www.blacksheepwools.co.uk/cgi-bin/sh000001.pl?REFPAGE=http://www.blacksheepwools.co.uk/acatalog/Elliot_and_Buttons.html&WD=fairy%20princess&PN=Anchor_Counted_Cross_Stitch_kits.html%23apce847#apce847 in the sale, but im worried its all backstiching. Has anyone tried the Anchor ones in this style before?

Edit: I also like http://www.blacksheepwools.co.uk/acatalog/EB100.jpg for my cousins baby (we dont know what its going to be) but im not sure if purple would be ok for a boy.

I love these designs but I've never tried them as I always thought they were expensive but this one is a bargain - I am sooooo tempted. I have one cross-stitch going on in the living room, one in the bedroom so I could have this one for lunchtime at work I suppose! Just realised that there were loads on that page - I'm talking about the first one "Friendly talks"

Judellie - the tigers are just lovely and you completed them so quickly.

I use a frame that is similar - I attach it with tape (not pins now found that out to my cost).

The 21x12 would be ok - attach your 20-1/8 side on the 21 edge use the roll for the 16 side.

Try the "in the well" method like I use and it helps keep you design clean.

Your pattern is lovely - good luck with it
