To be honest, I think that design is very ambitious and you would struggle to finish it by June. Personally, I would rather find a smaller design that I really liked and stitch that instead. If you're just getting back into stitching, this is really jumping in at the deep end and you might end up getting really stressed because it's taking longer than expected. There are loads of really nice rose designs available, and I would recommend www.sewandso.co.uk for fast service and a huge range of kits to choose from.

The last cross stich that I did a few years ago I did in2 months and it was a more complicated design from the same collection so think I could do it.

kezbabybabe: How neat is that. Definately not showing my backs now! I'm also of the school of thought once they are backed no-one but no-one is gonna see it!

I've not trawled back through this thread so forgive me if this has already been posted.

This is my very favourite website, and although it's in the US I have still managed to get reasonably priced charts and kits even allowing for postage costs.
