So, here's the "start" of Letters from Nora (A for Annabelle) by Nora Corbett. :)
Nice start, huh? I put the first stitch in on Saturday evening and she's already this far along! Just the wings, arms, and her head left to stitch! Of course there's lots of beads too, this IS a Mira design after all. :p But I'm glad she's super fast to stitch so I have time to get her framed before Mother's Day. :)
Sorry for the terrible picture, it's stormy here today so it's gloomy inside too. The fabric is Sea Spray opal Belfast from the Crafty Kitten.
Maybe my next post will be a finish! Super happy because she was on my goals list for this year too!
Looking beautiful. Lovely shading!
ReplyDeleteThanks! She's been a real pleasure to stitch, and so fast too! I only have the wings left now! :)
DeleteGorgeous stitching so far! I am sure your MIL will love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I gave her the Mira Sunflower Fairy a couple of years back and she has it on display right where you enter the house, so I'm sure this one will be loved too. :)
DeleteVery pretty. She really is stitching up very fast.
ReplyDeleteAmazingly fast! Five days start to finish, and two of those days were pretty light on the stitching. It feels nice to work on something simple for a change. :)
DeleteLooking so lovely x
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric you've chosen to work on, it's perfect with the colours of the stitching!

Thanks! My picture is terrible, though. This is what it actually looks like. :)

Wow, this is a quick stitch! It's inspiring me to get the J for Jo for myself now.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely to have relatives to stitch for who appreciate the work.
And she's already done! I want the J for myself but I don't really like the style of it. I'm holding out to see what the mermaid J will look like! :)
DeleteLovely start!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching
