New Start - Celestial Spheres

I joined another round robin, and after I joined, I found out it had to be on Aida so ... I dug this kit out of my stash. It's a Mary Hickmott pattern and is of the nine planets, on 14 count black Aida. My husband will love it. I'm hoping people will each stitch one planet and I will do the other four. The first mailing date is June first, so I have quite a bit to do. This planet I'm starting is Mercury. Eventually, the stitching is nearly five feet across, but only eight inches from top to bottom.

I love Mary Hickmotts mag! It's probably my favourite mag out there.

Can't wait to see how this comes out. Sounds really unusual!

I'm looking forward to seeing the completion of this round robin. You may only have to stitch 3 planets, though. Remember, the powers-that-be (officially the International Astronomical Union) said last year that Pluto is not a planet! (It's a dwarf planet, with two others in the solar system.) Just thought I'd let you get out of stitching a bit on black aida! :-)
