Royal Winton cross stitch

Here's the result of my efforts in duplicating the pattern on my Royal Winton bowl.


I'm quite happy with it except for the yellows - should have chosen more contrasting shades. 


I wonder if I chose the colours again, perhaps in summer, would I chose the same ones?  It really might depend on the light.  It was a dull day when I picked these threads.


Hubby is making one or two little amendments to the pattern, and then I'll put it on this blog if anyone would like to use it.  Think I might make it into a little scented sachet which can then sit inside the bowl.


Second cross stitch finish of 2019 - hope I can keep this up!

Love, Liz
