Flower Fairies!

Post by Gypsy57 »

Hello hello! I've not been on here for a long time. Been stupidly busy working extra hours in the evenings and weekends, studying also. Did a Chinese exam which was hard (still waiting for those results). Did however manage to finish off this little baby. Took a while as I only had time to do little bits every now and then. Very pleased with it!

Thank you everybody!! I enjoyed doing this one- quite fiddly though, and I didn't really enjoy working with those shiny metallic threads- horrible!! They break so easily! First time I've ever used them! Shame this photo is a bit blurry, the perils of using a phone camera! I love the flower fairies- have done since I was a little wee nipper, so my mom sent me this pack a couple of years ago.
Don't you think that the girl- the geranium fairy,looks like she has a beard?? Maybe I'm the only one who thought that!?
Now I'm working on a Chinese doll girl. Very pretty one with lots of reds! :whoop: Pictures will come at some point as soon as I remember to load them from phone to computer...

Now that you mention it, she does appear to have a bit of a five o'clock shadow. :D

She really does! I followed the plan- I think I should have just changed it to a slightly lighter colour!!

It contrasts nicely to the spotless legs on the chap though!

It's a spectacular finished pattern, well done! :applesauce:

Great lovely finish! :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

I know you feel so wonderful having a finish one after it has taken you a long time to have it done. Reality always gets in the way.. work to do first, chores to do first... wishing we have more stitching time, right?
So, congrats on your finished one! Looking forward to seeing your next project. Happy stitching :)

:applesauce: :applesauce: A really beautiful finish. Love the Flower Fairies although not stitched one of them yet - I did however include panels of them in quilts for a couple of grand daughters.

Congratulations on a great finish. :whoop: :whoop:
