This lovely Victorian Christmas Lady pattern was given to me by a fellow stitcher from the cross stitch forums I belong to. She decided she wasn't going to get around to all the patterns in her stash and decided to give them to people who would enjoy stitching them instead!

I received her in the mail on Friday afternoon and raided my stash that night. I have spent a total of two and a half days on her and still haven't lost interest! I think she will be a nice sister piece to my Christmas Angel that I am oh so close to finishing!!

In order to keep the pattern in great condition I am working from photocopies and keeping the magazine portion in a plastic sleeve to reduce exposure to my hand oils so I can have the pattern for many years to come in case I want to stitch it again!
I will admit it, I am addicted to Joan Elliott's patterns. Including the two patterns mentioned above I also have all four element goddesses and Cinderella to do! Not to mention all the gorgeous flower fairies!
Beautiful stitching on Victorian lady!! She's such a wonderful design.
ReplyDeleteYou are on fire! With such speed, you will be done with her in no time. I appreciate Joan Elliott's designs too. Her Celestial Lady is on my wall.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your next update, and happy stitching!
I love the Joan Elliott designs too. Especially the angels. This design is gorgeous & in my must stitch pile. Well done on your progress.
