It is stitched on Cashel in Confederate Grey, using the Anchor conversions of the recommended colours (except for the pink, which I brightened up a bit because I thought the original was too browny). I love the way the brown colour for the letters has come out the same colour that dandelions stain your hands!
The girls were very quick to point out the irony of me loving this design when I used to threaten them with dire and obscure punishments if they even thought about blowing dandelion clocks in the same postcode as the garden...Anyway I thought I'd pay Karan's generosity forward, so if any of you fancy stitching this beauty just add a comment to this post (if there is more than one taker I'll pull a name out of a hat next weekend)

beautiful finish Christine, I love the pink you chose for the lettering, i would love to be in with the chance to stitch this design, i have fond memories of being a young girl sitting in the garden dreamily blowing these, then being itchy afterwards LOL
The sentiment is touching; I like it more than I can say. But - - - please do not include me in the draw.
A lovely finish, grin at the girls comment. These things usually come back at us don't they?
