I just love the little girl’s hair ♥

Carol wrote to me: “I started this project as soon as it was shown on  your website.  It is still not framed, but thought you might enjoy seeing another version of what I am sure will be many, many more versions.

My name is Carol Bianconi and I have avidly been stitching (hardanger and silk ribbon) for the past seven years.  The first project I did was the Red Clover Flower Fairy  which I entered into a judged Embroidery Guild of America Show in Palos Verdes, California.  The piece received a third place. 

The Maiden with the Horse received a second place ribbon.  This will be submitted in their 2014 Show. 

I have also completed the Peacock featured in one of your e mails.  Lovely pieces. 

I do enjoy your books (all of which I own) and always look forward to your featured project in your emails.”

Enjoy your week everyone and happy stitching
