Joan Elliot Flapper lady

[Fizzbw]

I've started her to rejuvenate my stitchy bug, and it's working well!! I'm a bit further than this now but here you go.

It's done on 28 count jobelan Baroque by Picture this plus. It's the same fabric as the Victorian lady.

I love flappers, looks beautiful so far

[LastingAllure]

Looking beautiful! I wasn't going to stitch her but the colours might tempt me other wise. Have you stitched any of the other ladies?

[guenever]

gorgeous! i just ordered that issue. she is stunning and so is your stitching. i can't wait to see it done. it does not look easy to this beginner. to you! really stunning--and on that fabric!

[calico]

Lovely

Guenever, it's not that hard honestly, the cross stitch flows and you find the metallics and beads challenging but good. They really are not as complex as they look.

LastingAllure, I've done the Victorian lady, she's around somewhere not sure yet if I'm going to do the other two, I have the snow princess, dragon and Autumn fairy all kitted up ready to go, oh and the dolphin as well!! So much to do, so little time....(and I don't work.....)

Oh amazing! I was planning on doing this for my Grandma, but she has picked something else for me to do, so I may keep this one for myself

Love the dyed fabric, it add so much to the stitching.

Oh sounds like you're a Joan Elliott fan too! I can relate I have many of hers kitted up or on the go! I also don't work right now, I know it won't last so I stitch every day I have the chance...makes me feel like I've accomplished something.

Can't wait to see your other projects though, they all sound lovely

[Nachstenliebe]

The coloring is beautiful! What stitchy bug wouldn't want to come around with that beauty there to play with?

[rcperryls]

Lovely start!! No stitchy bug could resist such lovely colors and beautiful fabric. I would think he plans to stay for a long long time.

thanks! i am just not sure about working on linen---i do have some but i am totally intimidated. i bought it for a dracolair project. 32 count linen--oy! i don't eve know where to begin! or how to even stitch on it!

[Lizzieh]

I'm not surprised your stitchy bug came back. It would find it hard to resist such a gorgeous design. The colours are lovely.

[Rose]

Those are some gorgeous colors!!!!!! Glad your bug is back!!!!

[Cecilia]

Excellent start and a great way to tempt your stitchy bug to sick around.
