Nora Corbett Bluebell FINISHED!!! 8-26-2011

Post by sillypants124 »

Okay so here is the Gift that I am doing and here is the update of the first day and this is after frogging everything and turning the fabric and starting over. My brain said do it where the length becomes the width and instead of keeping it the legnth... if that makes sense.

It is being done on 32 ct Antique White Linen (recomended was Antique White Jobelean). I am doing her 2 over 2 and the skin is over 1. I am hoping to get a lot of her done but I am watching my nieces because the parents do not want to watch them today.... grrr!! :ratherbe

:lol: :lol: So sorry but I really must laugh, I know what you mean, you mean Nora Corbett--but you must like Nora Roberts the author, much like I do!! Both Nora's are very talented people :)

Thank you everyone. She has been one that I have been wanting to do and I am very happy that my bf's friend wanted this one over all the other designs in the world. Believe me if they both would have come up to me and gave me a tiger to do I would of burned it. The last time I did a tiger I hated every moment and my dad wound up getting it without any of the background to it just the tiger itself haha.

She is stitching up pretty fast I was going to do an update for you guys but I got sick and realized I made a mistake on my counting and had to frog a huge section.. thankfully it was only one colour but still I was so excited and happy. but oh well looks like mr :anotherfrog: can not just stay away from this project... It must be sign. MR :anotherfrog: will meet it's maker haha. Oh I have also been re-catching up on brothers and sisters again starting with season one and drinking a glass of wine, that has helped my tummy a lot and helped to fall asleep and to frog my huge mistake. And I am questioning the fabric choice - the linen - I feel I should of had the luguana fabric chosen...hmm.. we'll see. Happy Ester Everyone and Hope you all have a great day!

Glad to hear this was something you had wanted to stitch anyway. I hope you have time to get her done. Great start, and we'll banish Mr. :anotherfrog: from your project for good.

Your comment about tigers was funny, I love tigers! Send any tiger charts my way! :)
