Miss Mary and a winner

Hello everyone.

  Here is pretty Miss Mary Mack by La D Da


She didn´t look so happy earlier on during the week when I opened the UFO drawer and saw the sad pale faced Mary, silently questioning me as to why she was still sitting there abandoned when her stitching had been completed ages ago.


I found an old frame which was dull and sad too but that could be covered with a pretty fabric.



and Mary, on liking the red frame, decided to paint her lips to match.







She looks happier now and I am one UFO less.


Hoop Holder Giveaway


A big thank you to all who entered my giveaway.  I used the Random Number Generator to choose a winner and here is the result.
Number 14 corresponds to BUTTERFLY.  Many congratulations June.  I will be contacting you this afternoon for your mailing address.
Until next week.
Sheryl

    The instructor at my Spring Stitching retreat was Lori Markovic from La D Da. Mary Mack is one of her favorite designs. Her lips look awesome, and your finish is wonderful thank you for sharing. Congrats to Butterfly. And thank you Sheryl for a wonderful give away

    Great ideas for a finish. Love how she looks with her red lips. I've always liked that pattern, but I figured I would get bored stitching that much black. Good for you to finally finish her!

    Congrats to Butterfly. I'm sure she will adore that little round pouch!

    Miss Mary Mack does look much happier now that she is out in the open for all to admire. Love the red frame with your gorgeous black stitching. How lovely for Butterfly to have one of your beautiful stitcheries in her possession.

    Lovely frame for Miss Mary, she looks happy! Perfect gift for June who has a great garden and funny too as one of her last work was called "printemps au jardin" - spring in the garden in French and she won "fleurs de l'été" summer's flowers, logical! Hugs
