What a lovely finish! I love the blues and lavenders.

Re: Mabel's designs
They are all amazing and so beautifully done too. Isn't it amazing how each design looks just a bit different just because the colour has changed. So pleased you are back stitching again.

Boy, do the beads make the design stand out! (Your usual elegant design, I should also add.)

Re: Mabel's designs
Not done an awful lot of stitching while we were away, and not much since then! Plenty to stitch, and I do want to, but then when I have time to stitch in the evening I just don't pick it up
I did manage a quick birthday card for my niece though:

Re: Mabel's designs
The stitching is up to your usual standard, but I must admit your calligraphy impresses me rather more!
Just need a few more inks and... you'll be well away.
Regards,
Richard.

Re: Mabel's designs
Richard, for cards like these I use a calligraphy fountain pen; I do have all the paraphernalia for "proper" calligraphy as well, including gold leaf and ground paints, but I must shamefacedly admit that I haven't touched them for many a year now

Re: Mabel's designs
Elegant and beautiful as always and what a lovely idea to set the stitching near the top of the card too. Must remember that.

Re: Mabel's designs
Not my stitching but they are my designs so I think it's all right to post them here
I taught another workshop for our church's building fund last Saturday and found I'd forgotten my camera but two of the ladies very kindly sent me pictures of their finished projects. This was the first time I taught this particular workshop, and I was very pleased to find that timing-wise it worked out rather well, with some finishes and almost everyone at least three-quarters finished. It's one of the ones I'll be teaching in London in October as well.
