Working on two different needlepoint canvases as part of the FB Tudor Tuesday group. Here's the latest on Catherine Parr I started several weeks ago - working on the background:
Here's the second canvas - also of Catherine Parr. It's 13 ct by
Labors of Love Needlepoint. It's really outside my comfort zone, using only one strand of silk for her face (tent stitch) - it allows the painted canvas to show her features. Her hair is done using a packed outline stitch. I wasn't sure I'd like it, but I do. Her lips are a metallic thread from Kreinik.

Today is the Linky Party for everyone to show off their Halloween Ornament Exchanges. I've partied with NINE participants so far - and what glorious goodies from Gorgeous Ghoulfriends!! Take a peek - the links are on my

I've more exciting news to share, but that will have to wait until next time.
Keep yourself surrounded by stitches ~ Cheers ~
Stitching the 2nd Katharine Parr may be outside your comfort zone, but it is beautifully done.
