Mabel's RSN Certificate - Jacobean

[Mabel Figworthy]

Not really part of the module I'm doing at the moment, but my Christmas present of three RSN Stitch Guides got me scribbling ideas for canvaswork! (more on FoF)

[Garnet]

Ahh, putting your Christmas gifts to good use already I see.

Lovely selection of stitches there Mabel, can't wait to see how they turn out

[Mabel Figworthy]

First I have to get Jacobean out of the way !

[Squirrel]

I knew it wouldn't belong before you were into those wonderful books and "scribbling away"

[Mabel Figworthy]

First Certificate stitching of 2020 - I present to you James the snail! I learnt a lot while stitching him, including the usefulness of thumbnails (and I don't mean small pictures )

More details on FoF

[Nicola Main]

Oh. Em. Gee! James the snail is sooooo cute! Mabel what wonderful work! So intricate and detailed!

[wendywombat]

Words fail me! Have to say that doesn't happen often, I can tell you!! ...BUT....

James the Snail is just AWESOME!! So much detail in such a small space!!

The Whole Jacobean picture is wonderful! The colours and the design ....well!
Need I say more???

[Podolyanka]

Beautiful, no doubt, but what fascinates me most of all is neatness and accuracy of the stitches. Sometimes one looks at embroidery and sees where it could be improved. Here it all is ideal and perfect. This is no flattering, it is recognition.

[Mabel Figworthy]

Thank you Lyudmila, that is much appreciated. I know I am over-fussy and anxious about the neatness sometimes, and I can actually see slight unevennesses but I've decided not to let them bother me because this is the best I can do!

[Midge]

That is fabulous Mabel. I love the colour palette.

WOW Mabel

The threading of the stitches on James' shell is remarkable, so neat and it looks pretty even to me - you do know what the trouble with being a perfectionist is, don't you?

James has a great character and looks utterly content on that hillock, watching the yet to be stitched Lexi practising her elegant cat pose.

The top of the tree is so beautiful, and the shading of those leaves is so delicate, it's gorgeous.

I would say you must be well on your way to top marks for this RSN Certificate

Fantastic work.




(arrgghh auto-correct got me again and changed Lexi to flexi, and again just tried to to change the second Lexi to Lexicon I'm switching off altogether after this post)

One of my favorite bitmojis, especially when I'm texting.

Thanks Carole, I really needed that giggle

I had none of these issues before a major update, hope they sort it out soon

[Squirrel]

WOW that is looking absolutely fabulous and I just love James on his little hill trying to decide where to go next. I am sure you will get top marks for this awesome needlework

Sixth class tomorrow, here's the state of play:

[wendywombat]

Well I hope they like it at RSN...cos we do So Much!!

[rcperryls]

They have no option other than loving it. I can't begin to think anything else. I love it!!!

The whole design is beautiful very colourful & such neat stitching. I fell in love with the snail, he is just Gorgeous. I really like the stitches you chose to do him. just a delight to look at.

[Garnet]

that Snail.

Everything about this piece is perfect in my little opinion, I hope the course agrees, you should get top marks for this.

I hope you are pleased with the results so far, you should be very proud.

Can't wait to see Lexi get her fur on
