Rose Arbour ~ Mirabilia
Stitched on Blended Needle "Parchment" 28ct Evenweave
It's funny, when I started this I still hadn't worked out what everybody meant when they talked about starting on the vertical thread - so it is all stitched with each cross starting from the horizontal thread - gosh it is awful to stitch like that, the thread often slipped underneath the weave of the fabric (it's a pretty loose fabric anyway) and I can tell by looking at it that my crosses just don't look "right". We live and learn, and grow - for me, mostly thanks to the internet!
I'm at work right now, and it is VERY quiet, so I'm going to pop down to the carpark and get my soccer/cricket work out of the car, do some of that - and then stitch ... life is good :)

Wow, she looks stunning!! Congtratulations on that major happy dance!!!! :D I love that design.
I'm not sure what you mean by vertical/horizontal threads though...?
Have a great day! ;)
Very Beautiful! What a happy dance : )
She's absolutely lovely! And sounds like a learning piece as well! I always get excited when I have moments like that where something I've heard suddenly makes sense....like French knots (which I still hate, but at least I understand).
How pretty! Nice finish - I have tons of projects I did that aren't on the vertical thread. Such a nice thing to know now!
Congratulations, Lisa! She is gorgeous!

Beautiful!!
I have an older piece that I can tell was started over the wrong thread too. I'm sure I'm the only one who would ever notice... I doubt anyone else would notice it on your Rose Arbour either :)
Oh wow, Rose Arbour is absolutely stunning!! Happy dance, indeed!!! You did a fantastic job on her - and the fabric choice is just gorgeous ... way to go! :D
