This is my update. I am stitching carefully one over one for her face. It is not as difficult as I thought. I am really enjoying stitching her! :D

Absolutely beautiful Héléne, she is coming along so well, and your stitches are so lovely and neat and even and doesn't the 1 over 1 on her face and hands make such a difference.

Well Done.

Absolutely brilliant and the 1 over 1 sure makes the facial feature look more 'real' for sure. A great update Helene and you are making good progress with it. Once you get down to the gown it is much easier as it is more blocks or runs of colour - makes one feel they are getting somewhere at last. :)

Simply beautiful. Isn't it astonishing what can be accomplished with a few threads and a needle when in the hands of a good designer and then an excellent stitcher. :applesauce: :applesauce:

Oh my goodness, what a lot of stitching you have achieved in just 7 days. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:

She does have such a beautiful expression on her face, dare I say "Angelic"?

Congratulations Helene, she is beautiful and beautifully stitched. :applesauce: :applesauce: :applesauce:
