I don't know if you all remember, but I had a little problem with this project as I could not find the cabochons with rimsets that I needed to finish the project. Pat had sent me a few things that I thought could work (thank you Pat for those, I will keep them for later use), but after trying them, I realized that I would much rather do something else to replace the missing cabochons.
.
Once I put behind me the notion that I absolutely needed some cabochons for this project, I started concentrating on what else I could do instead and decided to do some Jessicas with some golden metallic thread and then filled the inside with some red metallic threads.
.
After I did that, I decided that I really did not want to put any bugle beads now, so used some gold metallic threads and made a bargello row instead.
.
I am happy with the outcome. It is different from the one Susan did, but still looks good.
.
All that remains now is to do the finishing. That will have to wait a little bit as I have other things to stitch first.
.
For the sake of comparison, I have added below a photo of what the original looks like.
I would like to finish stitching the little Christmas stocking, but not so crazy about the idea of working with all those beads though :-(

This has worked out really well and is far nicer than the original and in my opinion yours is more elegant and the other in comparison looks a bit tacky, and I just knew you could do it without those blasted stupid cabochons and their rimsets
This looks great with your changes. I often change a design--just makes it your own. Very nice!
I agree with Terry, I like your version best.

Hi Pierrette,
I like how you adapted the design and it looks wonderful!
I'm looking forward to seeing how you finish this project.

Terry,
It is funny sometimes when you try so hard to find something and when you can't then you have to find substitutions for it. From the get go, I had in mind Jessicas if I could not find those cabochons with rimsets and I should have gone with it then. Oh well, lesson learned ;-)

You are right, Pat, I should do that more often and will :-)

Thanks, Jane & Cynthia.
When I get in that finishing mood, I will get myself organized and probably finish a few at a times. Will have too as they are fast piling up (lol)
