While I was working on it, I kept calling the flowers `poppies` (simply because they`re red and 1. I`m rubbish at botany, 2. I was working on a poppy wreath at the same time), until a friend called them `something roses` (I already forgot the name) and said that it reminded him of the rose bushes growing around Cinderella`s castle. Another friend called it the spitting image of Neuschwanstein Castle, although that doesn`t have water around it, and then there`s Walt Disney`s castle with its blue turrets... and the list goes on.

Happy stitching! *waves while pensively shakes head at the thought of her own badly lit photos featured in the magazine, at the same time being grateful for suggestion*xstitchatozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16094557170307542316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047055200187380382.post-75519248784863043092014-01-12T08:14:18.957+00:002014-01-12T08:14:18.957+00:00I liked this design when I saw it in the magazine ...I liked this design when I saw it in the magazine but yes, I did think it would be much smaller. It looks about 7 x 9 rather than A4<br /><br />It reminds me of my Teresa Wenztler design Among the Clouds which features a castle like this one but with a dragon wrapped around it! A smaller version of her classic The Castle.<br /><br />It's nice to see your progress pictures too, shame they don't include some of them in the article and a credit to you too.Jo who can't think of a clever nicknamehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02663450738390351663noreply@blogger.com
