A surprise post....

I had some stitching friends over for a day of stitching, coffee and just plain fun today. And was so happy that The Maiden was able to join us after she finished work as she now works a hop skip and a jump away!!!! Well maybe a 5 minute car ride in reality but as always it was a pleasure to connect with her. We've had many impromptu stitching days in the past and so it was great fun!!!! The best part was that she brought her finished Mermaids of the Deep Blue along! We did this as a SAL starting in November and finished them in about 2 months time of dedicated stitching !!! May I present the finished products ......my fabric is a bit washed out from the camera flash. Its great to see them side by side. I love her fabric and her stitching is just gorgeous! The Maiden has warned me that stitching mermaids can become obsessive and to be careful but I do think I have thrown caution to the wind as in my head Deepest Love  will be next after Bluebeard's Princess......I'll soon have a school of mermaids !!!!!!!

    What a fun time today Juls. Love the picture of the two pairs of sisters. Wish everyone could see them in real life as they are stunning.

    Love both pieces. I am working on Bluebeard's Princess now too (mine has an alternate face as I like to change things). I will enjoy watching the progress you make on yours when you get it started.

    LOVE THEM!!!! I think they had a fun visit yesterday! Thanks for helping Carol and I choose fabric, your Swamp won over the masses (I am secretly very excited to see the project stitched on both fabbies).

    My head has been filled with ideas for my new fabric, you are so generous. Best birthday yet! J
