Awsome Wok! She looks Excellent!

[Squirrel]

She is looking so beautiful Karen, and she is going to look fabulous with the back stitching and beads. A real work of art.

Only 2 or 3 more weeks and we will have that mag in our shops and I will be down there to grab it quickly.

Thanks for all the great feedback--I really do love stitching this one up.
Sally, I hope you manage to get the magazine soon, I thought it was bad here in the US--they have the magazine with the poppy one in it in my local craft store. Just wish they could get them sooner but at least they do finally get here. Hope you enjoy stitching her as much as I have

Did you guys here in the US know that you can order single issues of Cross Stitch Collection directly from the company and they are only 6.25 British Pounds including shipping which is a little over $10 US dollars? The cost of the mag in the shops here is $11.99 so you're already ahead of the game and didn't have to spend any money on gas running around looking for it...

Here's the link to order - I've ordered 3 or 4 of the magazines with the Elliott fairies in them, takes a few weeks but I bet I still get them before they're in the shops here...

I've tried to order from that link before, but for some reason they don't like the debit card I use--odd as everyone else I've tried buying from online accepts it just fine

I, absolutely, love the colours in this design

[tiffstitch]

So beautiful! You're stitching her up so fast! Hope the backstitching goes well!

[XandraS]

She looks gorgeous, you've made such quick progress Can't wait to see more

[karen4bells]

Cross stitching is done on Iris fairy!!! Now all I have to do is the backstitching with both normal and metallic threads and the beading. Here's how she looks now



Not the best picture but I'll try and do better when I get the rest of it finished

[Mabel Figworthy]

Isn't she lovely !

[shjordon]

She's so pretty!
I can't wait to see her all finished.

Gorgeous, Karen. Really looking forward to seeing her with the back stitch and beads.
