These long cross stitches take longer to stitch and more thread than you would think, but I like the effect. The flat ribbon thread Soft Sheen Fyre Werks stands up to the red-orange and the orange Panache nylon perles well, better than I expected since one is a flat thread and the other two round perles. I also like the shiny stripes' contrast with the dull background stitches.
I'll try to finish tonight.

I like this, and I am looking forward to working with the Soft Sheen in the upcoming Santa.
Thanks. I like the Fyre Werks, both the soft sheen and the hologram type.
They both look good although the Soft Sheen version is easier to stitch with-less stiff.

I like the cuff too. Just finished reading all of June and now I have more catching up to do...need to visit my local bead shop to make necklace. And by the way I like your purse too and I'll bet the leaves piece will be "to die for."
Thanks for the nice compliments, Sue. Have fun at the bead store!
