This was Rose of Sharon when I sent her off: Dress done, arch and flowers not.
Rachel, Theialin, Tali and Kris worked their magic, and returned this:
Isn't she gorgeous? I'm so, so happy that she's done! And the fact that I got to stitch my favourite part and left the not-so-favourite bits to someone else? I'm smirking all the way to the finished drawer.
There are so many greens and pinks in the foliage it isn't funny.

That's so gorgeous. The dress is really lovely. You did a fantastic job with the conversion to red. Love it.
She is stunning, a beautiful finish. I love the variation of reds in that dress. Lovely how what goes around, in turn, comes around to you too!

What a beautiful piece...job well done ladies...
Wow! Beautiful work!!
Oh that is so beautiful, what a wonderful finish. Congratulations.
It was an amazing piece to work on, Blu. I think I had wrote down that I put in 30 or 40 hours in on it. I just couldn't put it down, I really wanted to finish it myself, lol.
I think the finished piece is just stunning, and I am questioning my start on 32ct over 1, lol. I think I might have been a tad bit mad to start it that way, haha.
Absolutely gorgeous!
