Those are beautiful! They would keep me busy for months. Which one are you leaning towards?

Great Deirdre!!
I very recently bought a pattern called Fractal Cat because our baby daughter (she is 43) was surveyed by me and she was asked what sort of cross stitch she would like for her home. This survey was done after she said mean things about a kitchen alphabet that I designed for her (she was a great chef in a former life)with the letters matching the new paint in her dining room with JABC buttons for each letter, with the exception of zucchini and utensils, which they don't have! Very expensive because the buttons are pricey. While the design and its stitching took me two years, I like it. She does not.
I also did two 9"x 12" Alice in Wonderland samplers. She hates them. Her adopted sister wants them, loves them. I never know what to do.
I have to look at the new fractals in case she hates the Fractal Cat pattern. I want to spank her! At 43, can she still call
Child Protective Service? Just kidding. Haha haha!

Let her call them! The judge will understand. 😃
Why are you still trying to surprise her? Why not let her pick from something you like? Or, you pick something to stitch from several that she likes? 😄

Reading further I see that they are all full cross stitches only no specialty stitches.

Lots of specialty color! 😄
