Chatelaine, Cross Stitch, Finishes, Stitching Leporello

Happy Dance

Yippee, I just put the final stitches into Chatelaine’s Stitching Leporello!!  (Sorry, the colours are dreadful in this photo!)

Stitching Leporello-Final piece

I shouldn’t get too cocky yet, though, as I still have the actual “finishing” to go yet! 😉

The only thing I did change in the above piece is the style of alphabet used for my initials above – unfortunately Martina’s chosen alphabet just didn’t appeal to me, so I found something a lot simpler to use instead – and I opted not to do the initials over-one, mainly because I’m not a huge fan of over-one stitching with variegated thread … but I think it worked out OK anyway 😀

Here are all the pieces together in one place (sorry, some pieces are a bit ‘cut-off’ due to the shape):

  2. Congratulations, Anne, that is an amazing amount of stitching, and it all looks so beautiful. The colours must be fantastic in real life. Good luck with the assembly, it looks complicated!

  5. Dancing along with you, Anne! Woohoo, it’s gorgeous! Just wait until it’s all finished, you’ll be so pleased with it – yes, even more than now 🙂

  6. Congrats on an awesome finish! I don’t recall what the original lettering looked like, but the ones that you used definitely look great!

  9. Wow, Anne, that’s stunning!!!! You’re such a hero to undertake her designs. Though I love looking at them, I truly cannot imagine tackling one!
