A Norman Rockwell pattern

I am stitching this project on 18 count Fiddlers Lite and  I have mounted the mesh on stretcher bars.  In this piece I am not stitching the background.

Latest Update

I have been working on numerous pages on this piece in order to get an overall idea of what it will look like.  This is not something I recommend but my doing it this way people can see the outcome better. I am  pleased with the way that it is turning out.

Dervish Portrait

An Atanur Dogan Pattern

This is a piece that I have completed and framed.  It is stitched on 16ct Antique White Aida over one. I finished this project quite a while ago but could not decide on what frame to use and then found this one which I think works well.

Frodo

A Mark Ferrari Pattern

I am so happy because I have finished Frodo. The eyes are wonderful and they seem to look at you no matter where you stand. In a way I am also a little sad that he is finished because he was a lot of fun to work on. By not stitching the background and stitching it on the Fiddler's Lite it gave the piece more depth.

Isle Of Spruce

An Arthur Lismer Pattern

This is a piece that I finished recently and  got back from the framers. It is stitched on 16ct Antique White Aida over one.
