My next finish is QS Libra - by Sara Butcher. Sara is another of my favourite artists, and I love her art with a passion! There is something really 'delicate' about her pieces, and I love the faces of her fairies!! Well Libra took me a long time to complete as the detail on this one was intense!!!!!! I cannot stress enough how much confetti there was in her hands alone!!! But I think you will agree that the detail is stunning - and well worth the time and effort. I love how Libra turned out - and cannot wait to get this one framed and displayed! She really was a labour of love xxx
After only stitching easy designs for years, in 2010 I discovered the Heaven & Earth Designs website. HAED charts are HUGE and detailed! But this detail is achieved by only stitching full cross stitches, meaning no fractionals or backstitch EVER! So, as long as you take it stitch by stitch, you will be fine! On my blog I will post pics of my HAED finishes - plus my progress with current and new projects. I hope you like what you see, and will be inspired to give cross stitch a go!

Well it has been a while since I last posted on my Blog - but I do now have some more completed pieces to share. But back to my previous finishes - and this time my 7th HAED finish. This is QS Misty Morning - by the amazing Hannah Lynn. Now Hannah uses thick black outlines in her designs - and this is how most HL fans stitch her art too - first stitch the black outlines - and then colour everything in!! It is very theraputic to stitch like this - and the outlines themselves look fab when completed! I love how Misty turned out - and she certainly won't be my last Hannah Lynn project! In fact - this years HAED BB Sal features a HL ;) - so watch out for another pic soon!!!
