Holy smokes! Why aren't you blind yet???? This is beautiful--must have taken you ages to complete!

From one CStitcher to another. Wow. Unbelievable. There are no words sufficient to describe this beauty...Now do the quilt?!! Just kidding.

JUST STUNNING!

Beautiful :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
I love the background fabric

Absolutely beautiful!! I used to cross stitch a long time ago, gave all my materials away once I started to quilt.

I love to cross stitch, too, and have been doing it longer than quilting.

This piece is fabulous!!! Great job! Please share more :)

Wow, just beautiful!

It is a gift for a past Senior Minister at our church. He saw another piece that I did and asked if I would stitch one for him and his wife. Their favorite place in France was the Versailles Gardens. This was the perfect piece for that.

I do not make these heavily beaded pieces into quilts. They need to be put behind glass to protect the stitching as well as the beading. I am stitching a piece now that will be made into a quilt when I finish it. It involves 9 virtues in the Quaker style. I have dramatically changed the colors because I am not crazy about the traditional Quaker colors. This piece has transitioned into a study in color. I like to change colors and use a variety of hand-dyed and varigated colors as well as various types of fibers. I will be hanging this one in my Sunday School classroom. I will try to get pictures of this one up soon so you can see it.

Is the picture of the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz a stitched piece? If so I would love to know where you got the pattern. I know that the quilt panels are available but would like to have a cross stitch pattern of this. My DIL is a Wizard of Oz fan and I have been thinking about something special for her with this theme. I will probably wind up stitching a Wizard of Oz quilt for her or making her a Wizard of Oz jacket.
