When I hand-dyed the fabric for Blossom Splendor, I wasn't sure I was going to like how dark the yellow turned out. As time went on, it blended in really well. WIP pics can be seen HERE.
She is finally finished! I'm holding off on framing her until I get the Blue Geisha stitched as I want them to have matching frames. But L@@K! Isn't she gorgeous??!

Gorgeous!!! Enjoy that happy dance.
Meari,
Blossom Splendor is gorgeous. Wish I could see it in person - no photo ever does justice to needlework, but wow, this is something else! How long have you worked on it? I did a Geisha for my daughter that had a ton of metallics, beads and couched outlines in it - took over a year. Worth it though - is beautiful and she loves it. Congratulations on your finish.

Congratulations on a stunning finish. I would love to stitch one of Joan Elliott's oriental designs but my wish list is so long I'm not sure I'll ever get round to doing one :-)
She is indeed gorgeous, Meari, and Purple Garden looks wonderful in the frame. Congrats on your well-deserved happy dances!

Blossom Splendor is gorgeous and Purple Garden is beautiful in that frame. Congrats on 2 great finishes. I do hope the new point driver works for you for a long time! So what is next for stitching??
She is gorgeous! You did a great job - just the perfect frame too!
Oh, I meant the other frame is perfect of course. Going mad from a day at home with a sick kid!
Absolutely stunning she is Meari. Congrats. I would sooo love to stitch her. But considering my stitchy speed, am really scared to take it up. Do let me know though if you plan to sell the pattern.
Congratulation Meari

She is a real beauty Meari! Congrats on your wonderful finish!
Meari!
Blossom Splendor looks incredible! Can you believe how fast you finished now that you've graduated? And I really like Aubergine for Purple Garden's frame. That would have been my choice as well. You've been a very busy girl!

Just stunning Meari!!! Fantastic job. So, now that she is finished will more time be focused on Japanese Garden???
Meari, she is absolutely beautiful!! I love the colors and they pop so well on your hand dyed fabric. Great job on Purple Garden also.
Meari,

Congratulations Meari!! It's stunning!!! Can't wait to see it framed with Blue Geisha!

Not buying it, hunh? Well, it'll look pretty fab in your bedroom too, I guess. :o)
Congratulations on your beautiful finish and your lovely framing job!! :o)
