Dimensions - Elegant Geisha (Finished! 4/14/2011)

Post by Stitch »

Although Free Flight was up next in my rotation, I really wasn't feeling inspired to work on it. I had also just recently picked up this kit, and I was eager to start it. It's a petite, so it won't take me more than one or two rotations to finish.

I've had my eye on this kit for some time, so I'm excited to finally get a chance to work on it. It's a Dimensions Gold Petite, and it's the smallest project I've worked on to date. The finished product will only be 7" x 5".

Finished product:

My progress so far:

There isn't much to see yet, but it should grow quickly. :)

Better lock your doors or Vanessa will be stealing her. She is gorgeous, the colours are so encouraging so I bet it will not take you long to finish her.

Yours is beautiful, barb. I love the idea of the beads. I don't know how to do french knots well, so maybe that's something I can consider at that point as well.

Oh, I love this design. I wonder why I don't have this in my stash....I might have to remedy that. Until then I can't wait to watch you stitch this up.
