I finially finished the first round of the Chinese Puzzle and will try to send it on it's way tomorrow or the next day. I kept looking at it for days and finially decided it needed to have a trellis and some vines on two sides.

I embroder the leaves and flowers. Used French knots for the flowers and tried to make the vine weave inbetween the slats of the trellis. It was fun to do.

Here's Sandpats centre with the first border (2 rows) - plain & simple I feel this is what was called for to prevent it from looking too busy.
Hope you approve Patti.

Tisha :wink:
