A very big thank you to Sally for sending me the magazine chart of this a few weeks ago. I've had a hand dyed piece of 18 count aida in my stash for a while and thought it would be just the right fabric for this design.
Here is a picture of the project



and here is a picture of my start on it--the fabric I'm using is even prettier in real life, it's just so hard to get all of the shades to show up.



Thanks so much for the chart Sally!!

Oh she is a beauty. What a nice start on a pretty cloth!!!!!!

Soooo pretty...love the fabric as well...a good start underway

Great start. A lovely chart that I know you are going to love stitching and the fabric is perfect. Colors are so hard to get right if it isn't daylight when you take the photo. I am really looking forward to your updates on this one.

So pretty~! I'm looking forward to starting the ladybird fairly Sally sent me, but I want to finish my other JE project first.

You are most welcome Karen, its good to see it now coming to life.

Love the fabric and you have made a nice start and in plenty of time for Christmas too.

Oh I love this!! Lovely fabric, I know the camera doesnt show the real glory of it so it must be stunning....

You'll love stitching this.

This is really a nice one to stitch and I'm loving it!! Here's my next update

You are making really good progress. This is going to be lovely. You must have quite a collection of Joan Elliott Fairies and Angels. What a wonderful collection it must be.

Brill progress! Some metallics there! Have you seen she's got a new Christmas angel coming in CSC and Santa and a polar bear in CSG. Both in blue like this fine lady!
