Angels · Cross Stitch Patterns · Mirabilia · New stash!
I'm getting really close to a finish. She certainly is a challenge on that fabric. It is 28 ct Salmon and Gold Linen Banding. It is the most uneven fabric I have ever worked on. The pattern is Angel of Grace by Lorri Birmingham Designs. I am hoping to finish this by the end of the weekend. I just have her ruffle to finish and some gold stitching on the right of the dress, then outlining and some charms, buttons and beads. I am so happy this one is actually coming to a finish. It is a gift for someone special and I will by happy to finally have it crossed off of my WIP list.
This month is my birthday, so I went on a birthday month shopping spree. Shown here is the lovely Biancabella and her bead pack and one of two Waterlilies needed. The other is on backorder. I love the colors in Biancabella. I am thinking of adding a snowflake in her hand instead of the apple. She is my favorite winter colors, so I think a snowflake will be perfect. Some day I will get to work on her. I also ordered a couple of patterns that were not in the shop yet.
So now, back to stitching on Angel of Grace. What WIP have you had in your stash for a very long time?
You are almost there! She is looking wonderful. You are probably tired of looking at the Salmon fabric, but I like it! What WIP has been in my stash a long time? Hmmmm. I would have to say the Dreamer. I finished the "fun" part at the top down through her head. Now I'm not sure I'll ever finish her. Have to pick one of the other 35 WIPs I have to finish (he he).
Ginny, this is positively gorgeous! Just think of the masterpiece you'll have once it is finished.
Thanks, Sue. I know I will be glad when it's done and the recipient will love it.
This is so beautiful! The salmon fabric is perfect for it. It really brings out the pattern.
Thank you, Fawn. I really like the color Salmon, but I will be happy to be done with this piece.
Wow – she is just beautiful! Well done.
Thank you, Christine. I didn't finish her this weekend like i had hoped, but all of the stitching is done. Now on to the backstitching and embellishing.
