Followed by NC270 Miss Cymbi:
When I stitch these NC designs I usually try to do the largest one first so I can feel like I'm on the downhill side once it's done, so I started with Imperial Lady D. However, the skirt on Miss Cymbi felt pretty big while I worked on it, so it's almost a toss up as to which was actually more work!
Today will be a very happy day, as I should be able to finish the the current Mirabilia model and submit a picture for return approval; hopefully no changes will be needed and it can be on its way. I was so worried that I might not make the deadline and now it'll be done three weeks early--after 30 years of stitching you would think I could estimate time better, but I'm still horrible at it! There were a lot of mistakes in the chart, most of which occur when the graphic designer at Wichelt converts Nora's hand drawn chart to a computer-generated version--this one has a lot of colors/symbols, so maybe that caused more mistakes. Hopefully I caught all (or at least most) of them, as I'll be disappointed if any are found after printing; I guess I'll find out next April, after it's released!
Now I will be taking a few days to get my house in order and maybe do a little stitching just for fun, then it will be on to the final Tempting Tangles model.
Hope everyone has a great stitchy week!
So very beautiful. The thread color combination used in the first one shown is stunning. Enjoy seeing your work you share on your blog.

Oh, these are gorgeous. I never thought about it, but orchids are such beautiful flowers, it seems almost strange that there were no 'Ladies' for them yet. I especially love the colours on Lady D.
ReplyDeleteThese are so lovely! Thank you for sharing them with us, I've been reading your blog and it's really a little gem, thank you so much for taking the time to write it and provide us with detailed pictures :)
ReplyDeleteThey are both beautifully stitched, those colours are gorgeous. Although I'm not sure about Lady D not having a face.
