Wings of Heaven – Final Update (Thank heavens I hear you say, Lol!)

15^th November  2013

Yah, Wings of Heaven is finally finished and in her frame!

 

I have to say, I’m really pleased that I made the colour change.

This is my effort

 

And this was the original one by Joan Elliott which is equally beautiful but I still prefer my colour combo.

 

So the challenge turned out to be 23 evenings Cross Stitching and 3 evenings backstitching and sewing beads and that all equates to somewhere  around 108 hours working on her.

Here's some of the detail

 

My next job is to finish the advent calendar that I started last year. 

 

The cross stitching is all done and the little cushions made up, I just need to be brave and dust off the sewing machine to stitch the back quilt and then contact the local children’s hospice to see if they would like it.

Fingers and legs are crossed that mine ends up looking a lovely as the one in the picture from the magazine.

Happy Stitching!

Oh Sue I love her on blue with the blue ribbon! Well done indeed and such a treat to see her growing on your blog X Joan
