Lovely stitching

Your stitching is lovely!

She is going to be so beautiful - lovely stitching!

She's lovely! Yikes about the gridding, but I'm glad it worked out in the end.

Here is the latest update

I have now finished all of the skirt and on the left hand bit - which goes right up to the waist and under the flowers - I have started back stitching using DMC 3760.
I dislike intensely using dark greys/blacks on almost anything so have played around and decided on this bright darker blue/teal shade.

The gap running through it is for the stole/shawl/scarf thingy. Which I might take away to do.

Sorry no update next week as I am in Melbourne from Wed through Sunday and doubt I will get a lot of stitching done in a house with 3 GC 7-,15,17.

beautiful update!! You've made wonderful progress on her and it looks fantastic!! Enjoy your grandchildren

Great update!!

Wow what a lovely dress....great update

and another wee update this morning showing more back stitching.



Not sure about using the teal thread on the coat which will be all pinks/mauve's - see right hand side where there is a little bit done.

Sally

the backstitching is looking great on the blue area! I'm not sure I like the blue bs on the pink area though, I'd be apt to want to try a slightly darker shade of pink/mauve, maybe slightly lighter in color than the thread you are using to graph with? Love this one!!

I agree with Karen that the teal bs looks great on the blue but maybe a darker shade of the the pink/mauve on the pink area? Overall I love your stitching on this one. It already has that lovely flow in the skirt that makes these designs so elegant.

Carole

Thanks Karen and Carole and it is what I will most likely do when I have more of the coat done.

Spent the afternoon trying to do the small fallen rose on the lower skirt - had it frogged 3 times before I got it right. Kept doing 2 stitch over 3 and not 2 plus I've hit a patch of fliffed up fabric which is a pain to work around. Still now got the flower sorted and its away in its basket - just right for HM to relax in whilst I am away.

PS Might take the cat one with me and do a bit more on that.
