 | I really love your new theme on Multiply! So is this a fairy that you are stitching? |
 | Yep - I'm stitching a fairy - normally I avoid designs with people or people-like things, but this one just really, really grabbed me - and it's Halloween themed. I'll put the floss toss in here over the weekend, tehn the first update probably on Monday - when I hope to be about 1/2 done :) |
| I cqan not wait to see how it turns out! :-) |
 | Karen, I really like your new page theme - very nice! |
 | Wow, you really went to town on her! I still have the material laid out, but no actualy x's in it yet. So far have you subbed out any colors other than the bs'ing??? |
 | Another great project!! Frankly, I don't know how you manage it all!! Cheers |
| She's beautiful, congrats! |
 | Karen, she's a beauty...love the bead detail at the neckline and the snooty expression has worked out so well. |
 | Wow, Karen! She looks fabulous!!! I do love the fabric you are stitching her on. You've made some really excellent progress!!!!! |
 | Every week you astound me with your progress! this is gorgeous *and* you got some of the beading done too! |
 | She looks awesome Karen, and ummm WELCOME TO FAIRY LAND! |
 | Looks great! It's one fairy that appeals to me, must be the owl on the arm! |
 | Lovely start, Karen! I just love this pattern. Don't know why since I haven't been tempted with the others in the series but this one is just wonderful! |
| And ummmmmm, I started mine last night. I have a nice brown blob now. |
| I like this one. You are making great progress so far. Your needles must be smoking with all the stitching that you accomplish. |
 | Looks great so far Karen. Keep up the good work!! |
 | She's beautiful Karen - I love your fabric! |
 | I realllllly want to do this piece where do I find the pattern???
Please!!!!! |
| Frishawn, this is in the September issue of Cross Stitch & Needlework magazine - most stores are out of it, but you should be able to get it online still - from them or Amazon, I bet. That pillow came out of there, too :) Best magazine, single issue, I've ever seen :) |
| Pretty! Did you start with a full spool of the Garnet? (Just wondering if I should order two off the bat) |
| Yeah, brand new - but you're supposed to use 2 strands, which I thought was a lot, but then without, it looks too light. I've never used up an entire spool of Kreinik anything before... |
| Excellent progress Karen! This looks wonderful! |
| OK - colour me stupid - but where is the braid used? |
| Trick or Treat is spelled out entirely in braid - it's a Vintage color, so not as sparkly as that blue used in her headband and the really ligth blue int eh moon (previous picture). You have to turn it this way & that to get the tiniest glints - but it really is a neat effect in person :) |
 | I love this fairy on that fabric!!! |
| Well, if I'm the only one who runs out of that Garnet, then I either did something wrong, or I got a short spool. Nancy, are you using 2 strands on the purple you subbed for the letters? I haven't looked to see if the Vintage colors come in shorter lengths than a non-vintage color...? |
| I am using the Petite Treasure braid and couldn't use 2 ply of it if I tried! |
| My purple braid is more sparklie than your garnet. But I do like the look of it when I zoom in on it! |
| Looks great! Stinks that you had to order a lone skein. Shipping prices drive me nuts. I think you should have to pay for actualy shipping prices not some random amount based on purchase price. |
| Karen, she's looking wonderful! |
|  {Mel checks the close up of the picture again} Oh I see now .....
Thanks - and I'll await your response to Paula :) I now have this mag winging its way to me so I might have to join in the madness in a little while .... maybe over Christmas - just to throw out the marketing gurus :)  I've decided I'm not starting mine until after the new PTP fabrics come out in February.. so talk about really throwing off the Marketing gurus.. Halloween at Valentines? lol |
| Actually, that would be about the only kind of Valentine Fairy I'd stitch, too - no pinks :) My god, what am I saying??? It almost sounded like I'd stitch another fairy... oh, what have I become? |
| I love this one too but have to wait until February as well. I KNOW it will be worth the wait :)

 | twana wrote on Oct 8, '08 This looks so much nicer on the fabric you chose. Hope the braid gets there quickly! |
 | Wow... It's very beautiful... :-) |
| Wow, this is looking good. I hope you get your braid in time to finish it for Halloween!! |
| Very pretty! Love the fabric you chose for her. |
 | This one is sooooooo cute!! Good luck getting finished before Halloween!! |
| She is lovely! You've made really wonderful progress!! |
 | she's so pretty..love your fabric choice. |
| She's really looking good, Karen! |
| Now that the dress is done, the rest goes pretty fast! Looks great! Wish there was 2 of the frame I found, I would have gotten it for you. It was all alone and NO others that looked like it, it was probably a fluke I found it. |
| She's still looking soooo lovely !!!!! |
| Love it! Looks better each time. |
| She is geting close! Well done! |
| just a little more pumpkin and the cobwebs!! Don't pressure yourself, Halloween comes around every year, last I knew. |
| I also want to look for a teeny tiny spider charm while I'm at Hobby Lobby - that complete web on the pumpkin needs a resident weaver :) |
 | You are so close to being done.. She's looking good. |
| Every picture just looks better and better! |
| She's looking great! And she's definitely getting close to a finish! |
| Beautiful stitching Karen! This looks fantastic!! |
| She is looking totally fabulous and I adore the fabric - such a great choice !!!! |
| Still wish I'd found a tiny spider charm to add to the webs.... |
| Your project looks great! I love the beads on it and the way you took that last picture. Really neat :-) |
| Beautiful finish, Karen! I have never seen a spider charm, but you are right, it would go perfect :) |
| Ooooh nice perspective - brings out the sparkle in the metallics too! |
| That really does show off the sparklies.
BTW, somewhere like Fire Mountain or an ebay seller is bound to have a spider charm! |
| Ok, .... stop enabling WHERE to get one........there is a birthday coming up......geez, it's really hard to keep things secret in this group! I give up. |
| BTW, the barely-mentioned spider charm arrived today - thank you very much, he's so cute!! Well, for a spider, that is :) I have already gotten him sewn on - see the last 2 pictures I added!!
Now, to get her in her frame! Sounds like a weekend job to me.... |
| That is so cool! That charm is fantastic! |
| I haven't put mine on yet. Before I saw where you put yours, I was thinking about the larger web on the left. Now I'll need to play with it. Glad you liked it! I am sure the spider wasn't a surprise!! |
| That spider adds just the right touch! It looks great on there, as much as I don't like spiders. ;) |
| Gret charm, and I think you got the positioning just right... |
| AAAAhhhh - beauty Karen! Love the finished product. Great job. And belated 'happy birthday' wishes to you!!!! Cheers |
| Looks fabulous all framed up!! Good job Karen!!!! |
| And belated 'happy birthday' wishes to you!!!! Cheers |
| That looks just as good as mine!!! I think our frames are very similar. Congrats on getting it *finished*!! |
 | She's beautiful !!! I like what you write on top ;-) So many people asks for free charts ... |
| She's really beautifull: she's in my stash !!! |
 | Soooooo lovely, thanks for sharing this beauty ! |
Comment deleted at the request of the thread owner.  | Do you still have this chart for trade or sale? Please let me know! BTW You did a beautiful job with her!!
Leslie :)
|
| No, I already traded her away - sorry!!! She really does need to re-release this as a chartpack! |
 | Can you tell me how I might get a copy of this pattern ? |
