The lovely Elizabeth

Finally a photo of Elizabeth.  I finished her in early April - well, finished except for the words.  I still have not decided what will go there - I had intended to put my Daughter's name there but not sure now and will see what she prefers.


I know some of you will not appreciate that I have changed the pattern so it is all symmetrical, but it would have driven me mad as it was.

I do love this one - the colours are so pretty.   I look forward to seeing it framed one day soon.

This little one was also finished a while back  - it is BBD Pins and Needles.  I have added it to the pile waiting to be made into something.

A very wonky photo - not sure what angle I was aiming for there - probably in a hurry as usual.

I am off to take some photos of my currect project.

Elizabeth Saville is GORGEOUS. Love it...love also your changes. It looks wonderful just as it is. The colors are so beautiful vibrant.
Your BBD finish is gorgeous too.

I would have changed it to be symmetrical, too, Mary :) Elizabeth is stunning--one of the prettiest samplers I've seen! And your little pincushion finish is so cute--I've been meaning to stitch that myself...

Your Elizabeth is just stunning! I don't blame you for making it symmetrical one bit. It looks wonderful! Love your BBD piece too!
