The border is very pretty. I love how this one looks on the green fabric. Almost 3D she stands out so nicely.

That's very pretty.

Gorgeous!!

Such a pretty border! And of course I don't know what the colours would originally have looked like, but I must admit I think she looks rather stunning on her dark green background

Hope you get your bulb soon and that border looks great!

so pretty

She's so pretty and the border looks wonderful.

It's nice

Bulbs arrived finally middle of the week. Stitching finished now just have to figure out how to get the ribbon on. The direction say nothing about how to attach except to run it under the loops but it does not stay flat on the corners as it should and my patients this week-end are gone.

That looks fantastic!! I hope you figure out how to deal with the ribbon, without too much more effort. It's great to know that you finally got your bulbs!!

I think it came out lovely and am sure you will figure out the ribbons.
It is a beautiful gift.

That is so beautiful Rose and I am sure you will figure out a way to get that ribbon in without taking off the lace to thread it through first. Perhaps taking a minute tuck at the corners of the ribbon would get it sitting flat.

This is beautiful!

Beautiful finish, Rose ! And, I hope you'll let us know how you solve your ribbon problem.

This reminds me that I really need to find & order a spare replacement bulb for my Ott light as the local Michael's doesn't carry that type. I would be lost if the bulb goes out without a spare!!

Fantastic!!!

Such a thoughtful gift and so pretty. Your niece will treasure this forever. I was very happy to see you try this on the dark fabric. I have never had the nerve to stray from a suggested fabric color before. I might not be so afraid now.

Lovely finish

She looks great Rose, congrats on your finish!

Beautiful finish! Congrats!!
