That is awesome Karen and so beautiful. I hope you are going to keep such a wonderful piece of your work. You certainly have done it very quickly too. Very well done. How are you going to frame it?

I wanna start mine NOWWWWWWWW. but I can't. I don't have all the necessary specialty threads and I have to finish the one I'm one before 1 Aug and it still has lots of confetti to do.

Thanks everyone--she really was a joy to stitch--and even though I didn't add all of the beadwork and left off some of the metallic design(mainly in her skirt) I am very pleased with the end result!

Sally, I highly recommend stitching her up--it's one of my favorite finishes. I will be keeping this for myself--and hope to add the rose fairy and maybe the lily fairy too. I haven't decided yet if I will frame it yet, or make it into a hanging?? :lol:
