Feeling like doing a Happy Dance as I have just finished stitching my first stumpwork project with Gracie. This was a Ganet Burr design written for us at EGA.

All these EGA GCC can either be taken directly from EGA National or like in my case from EGA CyberStitchers.
Have added a close-up of Gracie herself. I will now have to keep an eye on her if I don't want her to stray away too far. Have not done all this work to loose her now :-(

I followed your work during the last weeks. I admire your patience. This is gorgeous.
How wonderful. I've been watching Gracie growing over time, she is lovely. Well done you.
She looks great, I wonder if she is swimming off to meet my Gracie for a coffee (long swim across the pond)ROFL
Well done with your first Stumpwork project
Congrats! She's gorgeous - and she does look like she can just swim away. :-)
Gracie has been a lot of work with those tiny stitches and lots and lots of them, but now that she is all done, I must say that she has been a great experience.
I had been wanting to try stumpwork for a long time and now I have done it, I will do more as it is really interesting to see a piece that has dimensions like that instead of being flat and this was certainly a lovely design for a first project.
I can't wait what my framer will do with her.
I have many projects that I will be working on. I want to continue on the needlepoint project called Terra Rosa, the one with the American native pottery vases. I also want to start another hardanger project from EGA. I do love hardanger and even more since I have been using a frame to work with as it makes the stitches so much more regular (tension) than holding the fabric in hand.
I also want to do my first appliqué project with a Bonnet Girl design.
I will also be adding little projects along the way depending on my moods as sometimes I just have to work on a special technique and nothing else will do :-)
Better go back to my stitching now. Yesterday I cleaned up my working space so that I could be ready this morning for new and/or already started projects.

Absolutely beautiful. I have really enjoyed watching her develop and will miss her a little now that she is finished. You really have stitched her beautifully.

This is awesome, Pierette! Beautiful job, and please do post after framing.
She is absolutely gorgeous. I have wanted to stitch Gracie but am afraid of all that stumpwork. So, I just admire your work instead.
BEAUTIFUL work Pierrette!
