This design comes from a book called Cross Stitch Pictures by Jill Gordon (and was also in an early edition of The World of Cross Stitching). It is supposed to be a scene from a real island atol somewhere in the Indian Ocean. I think it might be one of the Maldives. With the Tsunami that hit last month - makes me wonder if the real scene is still there?
I started stitching this in October 2002. I'm still only about halfway there with it. Previous progress pics can be seen in my Webshots.

That looks really pretty, Vash. What kind of fabric is it?
32 count linen. Not exactly sure which type - I found it in the bargain bucket at one of my local LNSs back in Kent. Only cost £6.30.
It's a great color for that design!
