Wicked!! and you managed not to wreck the circle like I did! (wait for the endless green backstitch though.....but its worth it...)

Brilliant progress, so flowing aren't they.

I worked very diligently to get that circle just so--counted and counted and then counted again--thank goodness it came out looking as nice as it did. I am so not looking forward to all of the green backstitching--I may have to start in on it before I finish the normal stitching, just so I won't have so much to do at the end. Oh well, I know I will get thru it--one way or another. I may just decide to substitute in a couple of hummingbirds for the butterflies--they are just so adorable :wub:

She is looking soooo gorgeous Karen and your circles are fabulous. They are so tricky at times. Great work.

She is finished!!! I am so glad that it didn't take as long as I'd anticipated. Here is a picture of her completed

and here are a couple of close up pictures of the beading

I chose to leave out a wee bit of the metallic stitching, and I don't think it is missed at all!

She's gorgeous! I :wub: her. Fantastic job.

Although, after seeing this one stitched twice, I'm really going to have to add some Joan Elliott to my wish list.

:applesauce: She is beautiful. You did an awesome job. The beading is amazing. If you hadn't said anything about metallics no one would know. And you finished her up pretty quickly too. :applesauce:
