Today is Saturday. I almost forgot to post today! Saturdays are pretty busy. I walk then go to the Farmer's Market and then have breakfast and finally, I pay the bills.
Today I'll show you an update to Mistress L. I have been steadily working away on her. I finally got down to the queens. Yea! I'm working on the middle queen. It is good that I have the casket queens for reference.
I totally forgot what changes I made.
She will be 21 1/2 inches when this queen row is done.
I looked at the casket queens and decided I wanted better coverage on their bodices than one strand of floss so I used some heavier floss, Vickie Clayton's Hand Dyed Fibers. I have a box of them.
I like how she is turning out.
What I don't like is those green thingies on the arch.
I think I'll add some leaves or flowers as they just don't look good to me. On my casket I also added two birds, a snail and a worm. Maybe I can work those in somewhere. So far, so good.

The queens from your casket side (?) are beautiful, but I agree that more coverage on the bodices is a good idea - the one on Mistress L looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIt's coming along nicely, great idea with the Queens.

Can you show us pictures of your casket?
ReplyDeleteLOVE that sampler and the three queens ~ Great job! I am also just finishing up the Betsy Morgan breast cancer piece for Lois so it was good to see yours. Well done!
