Wonder why Scarlet Lady is all dressed in blue????

same here. good question.

Carole

6/10 for me.

I suspect she is called "Scarlet Lady" due to her "profession" perhaps?

Ah, perhaps. But now I am convincing myself: since the piece is merely called "Scarlett", I will guess this is her name.

That's what I thought too - it's her name.
Still on 5.

Here are today's picks!
18, 25, and 30

18. Crane by Meredith Dillman


Model stitched over one thread on 25 count white linen. Stitch count: 300W x 857H.
This is the first HAED pattern that I ever owned. Having never worked on linen before or done such a complex pattern, I have not yet started this one. I am starting to feel ready for it though, so maybe I will get a start on it in 2013 if other patterns don't sneak ahead in the queue.

25. Jewels of the Orient by Dimensions. Design by James Himsworth.


Kit is stitched on 18 count ivory aida and uses metallic threads. Finished Size: 11" x 17" (28 x 43 cm)

30. Ashanti Woman by Lanarte


Stitched on 14 count white aida. Finished to be 16" x 20".

Up to 5/10. Crane is one of my favorites...on my wish list!

Up to 7/10!

Still on 5/10 - darn it

One more brings me to 6/10. Lovely charts again.

Carole

Those last picks doubled my score - up to 6/10! A very interesting & lovely selection of ladies.

Some of you are getting very close now!! We may see a winner after tomorrow's picks are posted.

For today:
20, 24

20. Fanciful Notion by Meredith Dillman


Finished Design Size 350 W by 465 H (14" X 18-1/2" when stitched on recommended 25 count fabric).
I love the colours in this design!

24. The Needlewoman by Classic Embroidery


After discovering Brandi's blackwork lady, I was inspired to find some more. Here is one that caught my eye. I love how it is a cross-stitch of a lady doing needlework herself.
Model stitched on 18 count white aida. Finished size is 7" x 9" (19 x 23 cm).

One more for me (the beautiful Needlewoman.) brings me to 7/10. Fanciful Notion is gorgeous. Great choices again.

Carole

I shot up to 7/10

That lovely Needlewoman gives me another one makes it 6/10

Up to six!!!
Can I double check Thursday's numbers, as at the top of the post you say numbers 18, 15 and 30, but the pictures are labelled 18, 25 and 30.
Thanks

Beautiful charts by the way. I see the wish list growing ever longer!!

7/10 for me now.

I love the blackwork woman!

Sorry all for the typo. The correct number is 25. Thanks, Jo, for catching that. I apologize for the mistake!
