Autumn Finish in Spring
Celtic Autumn is finally finished!
I finished Celtic Spring in October 2011 and now Autumn can join her to wait to be framed. I have no plans on stitching Summer or Winter. Actually when I first thought about stitching Celtic Spring, she was the only one I was going to stitch, since I find the original Autumn very drab. But then I came across this conversion (I can't remember where and I can't find it again) so I decided to stitch her too.
This wasn't without it's own drama. See here for the drama of starting wrong and frogging. But she was a very easy stitch overall.
I made a few mistakes in the scrollwork. There are some stitches where there should be beads.
She actually took me longer than Celtic Spring, even discounting the mistaken hours. I guess three years has made me slower ;) I'm tempted to start something new, but I think I'll work on Autumn Winds for a bit and see if the urge goes away. I still have a lot of very old WIPs to slay.

Congrats she's gorgeous! I love the conversion. Autumn isn't really about purples to me. I may have to add these to my stash.
What a wonderful finish! I love these colours for her....perfect for autumn.
Lovely!

Gorgeous Finish. Well done, she is stunning.
Beautiful finish! I'm sure she is worth all the frogging :)
She's marvelous! I love the colors. Congrats on the finish...worth the effort.
WOW! What a lovely lady :) I really love the conversion you used, it captures the Season perfectly! The original Autumn looked so bizarre to me, in the purples and yellows. And the white stole looks to me like a transition into Winter ;) Wonderful stitching, simply beautiful work. I hope you can get Spring and Autumn framed up soon!
What a beautiful finish. Those are real autumnal colours to me. So pretty.
Beautiful finish! I never understood the thinking behind the original colours, the conversion is so much more autumnal!
Kudos on a beautiful Celtic Autumn! I was never drawn to this design because of the colors. But this conversions is WOW! Love it!
What an elegant finish! The colors are so wonderful and the beadwork is incredible--congratulations!!
