Post by StephanyNJC-UK »

..i made a start on Winter yesterday but then the light failed, hopefully i'll get a bit more done on it today if it brightens up.

Beautiful...I am actually stitching the Celtic Lady 'Summer' at the moment, have completed the sleeve and the begginning of her skirt.

I love the fabric you have stitched her on, simply beautiful ....I have just stitched her on a natural mushroom linen....sounds weird but looks nice...but the fabric you have used just makes it look stunning.

Well done, can't wait to see the rest. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

Yes, I'd agree, the beads really do make this piece come to life.
