Oooo shes lovely, can't wait to see more, love the fabric I think the colours will make her stand out beautifully. Is the fabric from Polstitches? I seem to remember another thread with this fabric mentioned, was it yours by any chance?

Beautiful design! It looks like it doesn't have fractionals, am I right? And not too much backstitch.

It will look awsome on that fabric.

Thanks everyone!!

Yes Rose I put up a picture a while back for fabric suggestions and was pointed to Polstitches!

Offe-There are minimal fractionals just round her face 10 I think I counted and yes very little backstitch. Just round her face and hands!

Gyork-Always nice to see a fellow Dundonian!! The fabric is from Polstitches and is called Bewtiched!

Yep it is nice to see that I am not alone in my stitching here. I just wish there were more shops for us to buy stitching goodies!!

The fabric is so lovely.
