Beautiful design and perfectly beautiful stitching (if I am repeating myself its because it still describes this piece)

Beautiful!!! And so very nearly there!!!

It is looking awesome Helene, and you are ever so close to the finish now. A beautiful piece of stitching for sure.

A great update, Helene, one more effort, and it will be finished. You have already done such a great work on it. Happy stitching!

Very nearly there Helene!

That looks incredible!!

So nearly there, and it's hard to imagine how beads and backstitch can make this even more beautiful, but I know these finishing touches make such a difference. Am patiently waiting here on the magic bench.

This is a most beautiful angel, well done as it is superbly stitched.

Very well done Héléne, she is gorgeous, such beautifully neat and even stitches too and so close to a finish.

At first glance I thought you had finished but "no" not quite yet. She is looking so lifelike and awesome Helene and I hope you are proud of your work - it is absolutely first rate, so neat and even. Well Done. Not long to the end now.

FINISHED!!! One month short of two years, working on her on and off...

Thank you for all the encouragements. It has been my largest project to date. You have been very kind and helpful.
The framer estimated £72 for just a frame and she does not lace the project either, she would just stick it on the board before framing.

I bought some board from Hobbycraft and laced it myself then bought a gold frame.
I signed it and put 2020 right at the bottom among the stars.

Here she is just off the press...

Congrats on your finish!! She is absolutely gorgeous!!!

Your Angel is totally amazing your stitching is neat and even, the b/s awesome as well as your beautiful beadwork. WELL DONE HELENE

Well done indeed!!

Oh, my! Isn't she fabulous. What a labour of love.

Wow, she is amazing - well done you!

She is perfectly beautiful!!! Something to absolutely be proud of!

Congratulations. She is stunning!!

Congratulations on a great finish! The result is well worth all the time and effort you put into it.

Thank you very much for spurring me on with this project and for all the kind comments.
It is now framed and on the wall.
