there's *always* a but isn't there -- those rows of 2 stitch wide satin
stitches (and satin stitched hearts as well) are done in the holes where
they belong and also in between the holes!!! The chart calls for you to
pierce the blocks of threads and put stitches in between the holes! I
never took a close look at the chart -- just made a note of the fabric
that was recommended! I would have much preferred to do this on even
weave banding and NOT had to mess with trying to pierce the aida thread
blocks and try to get my stitch placed smack in the middle. Of course,
that's near impossible because this aida banding is made with three
*&$#$%#^%)% threads per row.
VBS -- ahhhh the trials and tribulations -- LOL! It's a good thing
the banding is so pretty. Anyway -- I have decided that there is no way
I will continue to try to get those satin stitches railroaded while I am
trying to pierce the threads in each row! HMMM -- I'll have to see if I
can find the charts so that you can get a look. OK -- here's the Autumn

It's very pretty but the colors are a bit to soft for my decor. Instead
of doing the letters in an ecru, I am using Dinky Dyes #33 Desert Sands.
I've changed the letters of all the seasons to one of the variegated
Dinky Dyes fibers; the Winter design (done in BLUE -- YUCK) has been
changed to a red flower and the letters are going to be done in
Waterlilies "Holiday" which is a variegated red/green combo. CiaoMeow
