As Kimberly would say the Darling Bird is Fini.  Well, almost Fini.  I still have purple borders to do and you know how long thats going to take me.

We had the final lesson of this Mystery Class on Sunday.  All the fun little details are in place and the piece has truly come to life.

The colors in this piece are exuberant.  They make me happy.  They are tiny details.

The beaded centers on these Jessicas are hot pink surrounded with a bright orangey red Petite Silk Lamé Braid.  If you want to do this, do the center first with the beads and then surround them with stitches.  Much easier.

The big flowers are super fluffy now.  We started with a basic Satin Stitch of ribbon and then worked loops of Petite Frosty Rays in the center.  Super easy.  Big impact.

This canvas was lots of fun to stitch.  It had all the components of a perfect canvas for me.  Happy colors.  Lots going on so I didn’t have to do too much of any one thing.

If you would like to have us kit this and send it your way, you know we are happy to.  You can order it here, or give us a call at 410.296.0405.

My mind is already on the next Mystery Class.  We start the CBK cat, Sitting Pretty, in less than two weeks.  Good thing I know what I want to do.  There are lots of surprises tucked into this one.

See you soon.
