I am getting to a very exciting point in my stitching on the superb Patricia Andrle "Gloria". I am about to finish stitching the next to last line. The last line is a gold motif with the word "Deo" in gold. That completes the inner design and then will be the bottom border. See the image below.
The above image is a photo of the magazine page and it does not touch the beauty of the actual piece. I will finish stitching it and then gently wash and press it. I have a piece of lightweight interfacing that I will press on. This will keep the threads in back in place. Once that is accomplished I will attach the gold beads with white floss and it will be ready to take to C.C.& Company to pick out the frame. I am so cuffed with this project, the beauty of the blending filament and the opalescence of the fabric is beyond words. I can hardly stitch because my eye keeps wandering over it in admiration of the sparkle. If I am diligent it could be as short as 2 weeks before done. I am not holding my breath for diligence.
