She was stitched on 28ct Brittney Opal in Speckled Egg by Jodyri Designs using all the recommended DMCs and MH beads and the metallic were swapped for PTBs. I'll never be a 100% OAAT stitcher, but every so often it's good to stick with a piece until completion to ensure that it does get finished! I love Joan's designs, but one a year would be enough for me and I will make sure I spread out the project for the whole year.
Eager to get back to my hand dyeds and 36/40ct after almost two months of stitching on Cinders. Also considering having a little destash, so stay tuned..........!
Happy Stitching!
What a fantastic finish! I love her pearl earrings, and the metallic slippers and of course your fabric choice which is absolutely perfect.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad Just One July helped you. I couldn't stitch OAAT all the time either but I agree it's good for serious progress.
A beautiful finish.The bead detail is wonderful and Cinderella's eyes are lovely.I love the castle,it has a dreamy quality stitched in those gorgeous colours.
ReplyDeleteShe is simply gorgeaous. Beautiful stitching. I am not a OAAT stitcher either so I feel your pain!
ReplyDeleteWow! Amanda, that is fabulous!. You must have the patience of a saint to work with all of that metallic thread and beading :) Congratulations!

ReplyDeleteLove all the details and close-ups, she is so beautiful. I am always happiest stitching OAAT but I like my Smalls as well. It's a dilemma LOL
Gorgeous finish! With Joan's designs, sometimes I feel I need a little break from the backstitching.

ReplyDeleteWow gorgeous! The back stitching adds so much to it!
