Well here is her thread all to herself seeing as it is taking me so long to do her. The bulk of the pictures will remain on my Squirrels 2015/16 thread but I will put 2 or 3 on here including today's update. Starting with the
picture from the front of the chart pack loaded on the 12/8/15.



and the first post from pg 14. 12/8/15


Face and 1 hand finally done. 19/10/15


Bodice done. 6/2/16


Where she got left 1/10/16


AND
Most recent update from today.



Where the stitching on the right hand side finished is the 1/4 line of the chart, so still 3/4 to go. Thankfully the bulk of the remainder is either runs of 1 colour down the dress or blocks of colour on the purple robe.

You can of course find the original set of updates (quite a few of them) on "Squirrels 2015/16 stitching."

Thanks for looking.

Wow! She's beautiful.

She is a beauty you are going a marvellous job

gorgeous. She definately deserves her own SAL.

It's lovely Sally. So lifelike.

She is lovely, Sally and most definitely worth her own thread! I love the detail on this one and am looking forward to lots of updates!

She is so beautiful!

Very nice! Lovely execution.

Thank you all for your kind words and encouragement. No stitching at all yesterday DD and I were at the mall before 8am and after a quick breakfast got all the food shopping done and any last minute things and then home. I made almond 'icing' aka marzipan and then royal icing for the Christmas cake and a few other bits and bobs and that was IT for the day. I retired to my chair to read a while.

I'll be starting Angel of Love in March.

Wonderful well done.

That is going to be a lovely project. I like how you grid your fabric.

Just beautiful....

She's gorgeous! Beautiful work and I'm glad to hear the rest will be a little easier on your eyes.

Looks great. Well done

She's so pretty. Looking forward to watching her come to life

Here is the latest on Angel with both sleeves finished.



The long line of stitching marks the boundary of the robe where I have started the darkest purple. It is actually the skirt part of the dress.
I want to take it to embroidery group tomorrow and I thought if I made the boundaries of the purple clearly I could just take my needle book and the thread and scissors without carrying the big chart etc as well. We will see how it works out.

Thanks for looking.

PS I has only taken 3/4 of an hour to get this onto PB and over to here so not too bad really.

She is absolutely gorgeous Sally!!!! As for photo bucket, I quit using that site at least a year ago, just because they became so difficult! I add my photos to our gallery now

This is brilliant, just love the colours & your stitching is beautiful too, so neat. Love seeing these updates & look forward to the next one.
