A bit of royal stitching
I’ve been managing to get a few stitches into Winter Queen this week … I suppose any little bit is better than nothing! This is how she looked before I put her away in January 2007:
And this is how she looks now (minus her head, ‘cos that’s now hiding under my scroll bar!):
I’m glad to see the beading all done, but now I’m facing the eternal swirls of the skirt part of her dress … endless miles of white stitching on white linen - I’d better start stocking up on wine in readiness!!!

She is absolutely stunning, Anne!! Fantastic photos too. It’ll be worth having to stitch all that white in the end.

I’m suprised that you do the beading as you go - I always leave it until last, but that might be because I use a 6″ hoop. Can you tell I don’t bead much?
She’s looking lovely!

I have these charts, but I never started them. Winter has always been my favorite of the series, and yours is gorgeous!!! I also really liked the JN piece that you finished recently. Too cute.
