Angelina: An Ilse Altherr design


I am doing a little "happy dance" here today as I have just finished stitching Angelina. Some of you have asked me who the designer is for this lovely blackwork project and it is Ilse Altherr. I love her blackwork designs. I have a few others in my stash that one of these days I will have the time to stitch, at least I hope so (grinning).
.
I now have a long long list of projects to work on, but I think that I will start working on Hollyhock House stitch-along. We have had a few lessons so far and I have not yet started working on it, not even put the fabric on stretcher bars :-(
.
I also need to take one of my stitched project and work on doing a bit of finishing. Angelina is going to the framer so at least she is not adding to my finishing pile. When I think of the times when I was completely up-to-date with my finishing. Times do change, don't they?
.
Now need to clean up a bit around myself, put my supplies away and take out what I need for the next project.
.
It is a nice day today, so will now go out and take a bit of sunshine. That will do me a world of good.

Angelina has now some hair & head-scarf


This is really taking me longer than expected but have not had much time to stitch on her these last few days.
.
Well, now at least she has hair on her head with a lovely head-scarf. Will now work on her face and neck and after that I need to draw her hand and stitch, so not much longer now :-)
.
When I go to the framer with Angelina, I will bring all 12 Dodecagon ornaments with me and will discuss the different options for framing them and then will make a decision as to how I will display them. I am shooting for tomorrow Friday if Angelina is completed by then.
