I am so impressed by this gorgeous design that Loretta Spears created.
.
At every step of the way, she manages to add something so very special to her mystery #13.
.
The photo below shows step 1 of lesson 3, which is a series of double crosses made in Waterlilies Flamingo. The photo above shows step 2 of the same lesson, which is a filling of eyelet stitches done in Waterlilies Opal.
There are still more to come before this little design is all done.
.
I have stitched only one Loretta Spears prior to this one and it was Bargello Symphony, her mystery #8, which was stitched before I started blogging so we can only see the finished project.
.
Most of us who are Loretta Spears' admirers had seen it on ANG National website. After seeing this wonderful piece, of course I just had to stitch it and it was quite an adventure too. It was a big help to have the ANG website photograph to serve as a guide.
.
Superstition is probably much less known, as personally I have not seen any photograph of it anywhere on the web, but it is my belief that it is just as impressive as Bargello Symphony, though smaller in size. My congress cloth is 8" x 8" so I will venture a finish size between 5 and 6 inches squared. I will be able to tell more precisely after lesson 4 has been completed.
.
Since I am on a roll here, I will now proceed to step 3 of lesson 3 and then pattern 2 of the same lesson and will be right back with two more photographs for you.
