Love the doily; it looks perfect! Great work on the tiger; he looks very nice!

The doily is amazing - you have done a wonderful job with it.
Mr Tiger is looking good too and something to look forward to finishing in this coming year

Really great work.

There is going to be one very happy Mum on Christmas Day! It is absolutely beautiful.
The tiger is looking fab too.
It's an excellent freebie isn't it. Well done NN.

The doiley is absolutely beautiful. I must give your open dove's eyes a try: I usually pull mine slightly tighter, minimising the diamond shape in the centre. Yours are very attractive and very regular.

Ah, the tiger is grand. I started left to right, and you are going right to left, I see. He's a beaut.

Amazing job!!!

I am very impressed with your hardanger! It came out beautiful Your tiger is looking great too! I think you should be very satisfied with your stitching this year

Thank you Serinde. I struggle to get my Doves Eyes tighter so how you see them is the best I could manage!

Ah! He was YOUR tiger I saw in the earlier postings. You did a fabulous job on him. In fact it was that finish which inspired me to start my version. He really is quite magnificent and I love the photo quality of the stitched-up design.

That doily is stunning - your Mum will be so pleased to receive it - I know I would!

No, I don't think it is my tiger. Mine is currently being framed, and I'm fairly sure I haven't posted a photo. But someone else (I forget whom ) has also done Water Tiger II, and I thought the same about it: very inspirational.

I am in awe of your picots, and the finishing is lovely! And your tiger looks simply magnificent

Ok.. decision made.. I will learn how to do hardanger next year. This piece is beautiful. And I took a peek at Nachstenliebe's posts. Off to the bookstore.. and then to the stitchy store for fabric.

Great work on both tiger and your hardanger design, well done
