rose of shoron is lovely to stitch! i like the way there are only a few colours, it means that my floss boxes arent all over the place and i can transport it around easily. I also like how it has no beads or BF and only a few fractional stitches as its my first mirabilia. im nearing the end of stitching on my one... once i got the hang of the roses i think ill finish in a few weeks. i hope you like stitching Rose of sharon as much as i have and i look forward to see your progress. If you decide to do the arch first it will be a breeze as the yellow dress is awesome to stitch. I plan to pair up rose of sharon with rose arbour and give one to my 2 sisters for xmas this year
