Truly STUNNING.....

Blackberry Lane Designs "The Three Wisemen"
Stitched OVER ONE on 40 ct Newcastle w/DMC

Isn't this GORGEOUS beyond belief?  My dear friend Char stitched this for me.  It came in the mail today & I'm just speechless.  I told her she needed to keep it, but she is going to stitch it again for herself - she is going to do the series of 6 over one and make a bellpull out of them.  I've already been in touch with Jill Rensel about framing mine!!  Can you imagine - 40 stitches in a an inch - 1600 in a square inch?  It just boggles my mind.  I don't mind stitching over 1, but on 40 count?  Geez......
I've known Char for 12 years and she has gifted me with several beautiful stitched gifts - they just seem to get better & better!


And changing the subject - I'll have the drawing for the winner of my contest (below) tomorrow!!!

Happy stitching!!!


Edited to answer Missy's question - she stitched it with full x's!  She said after she'd gotten a fair amount done she wishes she'd used /'s though - it got a bit "bulky" even with one strand - but it's still GORGEOUS!

Title : Vibram Fivefingers KSO EVO W, Women's Fitness, Grey (Grey/Pink), 6-6.5 UK (37 EU) ASIN : B00DYXNW8C Description : MINIMALIST RUNNING / BAREFOOT RUNNING The typical human foot is an anatomical masterpiece of evolution with 26 bones, 33 joints, 20 muscles, and hundreds of sensory receptors, tendons and ligaments. To keep our feet healthy, like the rest of our bodies, they need to be stimulated and exercised regularly. Many experts believe the shoes we wear not only cast the foot in a protective form, but can also weaken our foot and leg muscles, leaving them underdeveloped and more susceptible to injury. And while there are many occasions where traditional footwear is essential for protection, safety, and security, it is equally important to stimulate and exercise our feet in a more natural state on a regular basis.
