7 hours later.....

When I awoke today I really wanted to finish Fern and get her to the framer's. But the framer's has summer hours so that part of my plan did not get done but Fern is finished!!!! It took about 7 hours of beading and she is a finish!!!! I am thrilled!!! She's off to the framer's on Monday since I work tomorrow and Saturday. I adore the Nymo thread that I got it makes beading so much easier. I managed to find it on spools and I may have enough to last a while since I bought 10 spools.....had to make the shipping worth it!! And the place I ordered from included some beads and I think they are treasures. I added one to the palm of her hand since it looks like she should be holding something and I love the effect!!! So here she is....
Fern a Couture Pixie

I actually tweaked the photo a bit to get a truer representation of the fabric! My only concern is I only have about an inch of material at the top and bottom....I told you I hate cutting my own fabric!!! But it will be okay!!! It has to be......I even measured twice and used an online fabric calculator.......Actually I measured more than twice since the first piece I cut was definitely too small. I'm only thinking good thoughts! I'll know more on Monday. I actually rescheduled Pilates today since it was so rainy and miserable out the middle part of today......Fern may be my fastest finish started on July 9th and finished August 2nd. And she is a birthday present for my niece who is visiting in just a few weeks!!!!!

Oh and a clarification about my last post...those 3 pictures that I posted I did in the late '80's to early '90's. I posted them in response to the SBQ.

I am grateful for my finish today..........
