Danielle, you asked if it was Mystery II I was stitching - no, it's Mystery I! I only got the materials very late, around end Feb and the mystery had already started so I've just set my end date as the end of the group when it has to be finished and go back to Martina. She only uses the models for the chartpacks which come out a year or so after the mystery has completed, but she needs to get framing done etc and then do the photos and stuff.
Anyway, I can't show a picture because I've completed the lower centre motif which is still a Mystery for everyone else, but hopefully once that part of the chart is released in June I'll be finished the whole piece and I'll be able to show you it in its entirety.
My plan for today is to complete the outer border flowers and curlicues (I think they are supposed to be vines??) and then move onto the pear tree. I am not fond of the yellow in this sampler at all so I'm leaving that bit for last although I did complete one of the over one monograms.
