Royal Holiday - An Ex UFO

Post by Purple Patsy »

Finally getting round to posting about Royal Holiday.

It was a UFO and had sat unloved for over a year but I've now dug it out and started working on it again thanks to UFO week here and a seasons SAL on FB.

So I'm hoping that posting here will encourage me to keep going until she is finished.

Here are the photos as at the start of the SAL on 5th September.

I love this design, and you've stitched so much it would be a shame to leave it as a UFO :wub:

OH this is such a lovely one I've not seen before - it surely deserves to be finished this time out in the open. Beautifully stitched and great colours too. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

So pretty! I'm glad it's no longer a UFO because I want to see more and more of it.

Thanks for all the lovely comments and encouragement.

Here's a piccie of how far I got during the 2 week challenge I took part in.

Then instead of going back to my other projects I decided to keep going with this one and I now have a finish to show you.

Thanks for looking.

Now to dig out another UFO for UFO week.

She is simply stunning! :applesauce: :applesauce: Congratulations on your finish. I have admired Mirabilias from afar, but have never had the fortitude to stich one. Do you plan to have her framed?
