Thank you for your kind comments on my Enchantress. This afternoon I sneaked out into my conservatory and completed the cross stitching on my Geisha:

The temperature started dropping so I didn't get time to do the backstitching. Hopefully I will do that tomorrow :wink:

She looks so elegant! Looking forward to her backstitched finish.

The backstitching is done:

And the two of them together:

I also have a single rather large Lilly flower which looks to be in a similar style done by the same company around the time these were available so might do it to make a group of three cross stitches.... I have to decide before I order the frames :thinks:

I have started another fun piece for the conservatory :D

Lovely. Perhaps frame all three as a triptych?

Thank you for your kind words. I have just dug out the Lilly kit:

Image

The frame work behind flowers reminds me of the background behind the first Geisha. It is not a very big piece and is on 16 count rather than the 14 of the two Geishas :thinks:

It would complement them beautifully, on whatever count!

Lovely. If you stitched it on 14ct, would it be the same size as the geishas?

The two geishas really complement each other. :whoop: :applesauce: :applesauce:

I think the Lily will look fantastic along side, whatever count you decide, 8)

I agree. The geishas are gorgeous, so delicate. And the lily will be equally gorgeous.

Thank you :)

I felt the need of something comforting so in my conservatory its Bath time:

I need to do a bit more on my Enchantress :thinks: It is difficult to concentrate with all that is going on in the world

Thank you :)

Post Img seems to be down this morning so I am having to host my progress picture on my model engine forum and link to here to show you where I am on my Enchantress:

Hopefully I will get her finished for the beginning of spring
