Lizzie and Lizzie's Dad.....

Dear Lizzie has returned from the Framers and I am so pleased with how she turned out.




I chose a triple mount and I am so glad that I did - it came up beautifully!

... and my prediction two week's ago that Lizzie's Dad would be finished in one more evening of stitching was so wrong!  He is still a WIP but I am hopeful that next Tuesday will see him finished!  Fingers crossed.


hugs, Kaye

Lizzie is crowned!

... well, finished - Happy Dance all over the house!

Here she is:      Isn't she gorgeous?  I am so thrilled with her.






The Queen's Sampler
Plum Street Samplers
28 ct Flax linen
Suggested DMC floss

She has been taken straight to the framers, so there will be one last update pic in a couple of weeks.

Hmm!  What Tudor design to concentrate on next is my big question.

So close now ......

Well, I had to shift my Tudor Tuesday Stitching to Wednesday evening (due to social commitments, which you can read all about on my main blog, Kitten Stitching) but that was okay as I managed to stitch heaps even while beating DD hands down in Scrabble!

I am thinking that maybe one more Tuesday may even do it! Yay!

Getting closer .....

.... To a Happy Dance.

I stitched more of The Queen's Sampler, over the last two Tuesdays.

This is where Lizzie was two week's ago:



One night of stitching:


A second Tuesday of stitching:


So, real progress has been made - I think that Lizzie would be happy!

Can't wait for next Tuesday now!
