Ok - who was looking for fine are redproductions

Their prices are great for art repos! I don't think I've seen them that cheap ever, especially not for a quality chart.

(Shreiking....) AAgh!!

I just had a bad memory after seeing that Cluny Sense of Sound on this site. I slogged thru that for a friend and hated every second of it (in needlepoint - she'd started it years before and it lay half done for ten years.) But she'd done me a huge favor and I offered to finish it. I had to rip out the unicorn after I realized there were four shades of beige, not three. Then ran out of background - but the company supplied generous additional wool. I wouldn't do that again for five thousand bux.

And I have one - definitely a quality chart

Sorry to have invoked bad memories. Bet it looked wonderful though.

Was there nothing there that inspired you? I happen to love the "nature study" type pieces - the shells ( I have that one), the rabbit, the owl...

I've been working on Van Gogh's "Starry Night" for about a year now and about 1/3 done. 83 mostly blended colors of floss on 18 count fabric. I just love it. Thought I'd get bored with all the blues but not so. Their charts are amazing and very well thought-out as to the use of symbols. I ordered a larger print charted book and then for my working copy, I scan and enlarge that so I can use colored markers to track my way thru the maze of symbols. I use one of those needle/thread organizers (actually two of them) to hold all the needles in progress so I don't have to constantly re-thread and wind floss. And I used their sticky-labels for the floss symbols so it is very easy to find the correct threads. I wouldn't hesitate to order again from them. I am a very satisfied customer.

Oh, I was just kidding.

A LOT inspired me - but I am plumb out of wallspace to hang anything else. I'd love maybe a Monet waterliliies or Le Bal a Bougival. But it wouldn't "go" in my house. I guess I could build on an addition and use French decor - ha - just to house the needlework.

Oh, the friend loved the finished Cluny, but it cost her a fortune to frame it. However, it is truly the focal point of her living room which is in shades of blue. She loves things medieval.
