The cottage that gives this design its name is finished, snow and all. However, I think I have to frog the pink and white stitching to the left of the door. I stitched it all going upwards and the stitches look so uneven compared to the right side, which was stitched going down. I'm trying to live with it for awhile to see if I stop seeing the flaws , but so far they really stand out to me. I haven't been railroading this piece and I think it may have been a mistake.I wasn't sure the brown checkerboard for the roof was going to stand out, but I like how it looks. This really is a pretty little design. Though I kind of wish I was stitching something springy. It seems a little odd to be working on snow when March is coming in like a lamb here - I hope the lion doesn't show up anytime soon!

The cottage looks really cute, I think your stitching looks great :)
The cottage is adorable. I think it looks o.k. but I know sometimes in person it just doesnt look right. It is hand made. so it doesnt have to be perfect :)
Your cottage looks yummy!
You're really clipping along on your stitching these days. The cottage is very sweet. I'll look forward to seeing your progress on this one.
I think it looks lovely :)
A tip for you - I stitch more neatly going down too, so if I find I'm going to have to stitch up I turn the fabric round by 190 degrees. The crosses lie the same way but I can then stitch down :)
We have the March lion here - would be nice to have the lamb!
I think your cottage is beautiful:)
I think it looks lovely! I stitch side to side so I understand what your saying...Nicki had a good resolution though! I'll have to give that a try as well!
Great cottage - I can almost smell the gingerbread!
The cottage and the color changes look great! I really like the way the roof looks.
Check out my blog "Purple Wildcat" where I have made an award to you as my Blogging Buddy.
Very pretty progress!
Michele it looks amazing! I love how the checkerboard roof turned out! I don't see anything un-even with the stitches around the door. But I definitely know the little things stand out to the stitcher. I am so loving watching you do this design, though.
Oh, i don't know, the stitching looks fine in the photograph. What a cute cottage!!!
The cottage is really pretty! And you have some Spring in there too - the flowers.
your cottage looks great! love watching your progress :)
