Ta-DAH! I finished it! 2 years, 1 month ago I finally finished Elizabeth! I began her several years ago and finished the cross stitch over a year ago but could not get up the nerve to finish finishing her. When I did right after Christmas this year I found that it was not nearly as difficult as I had built up in my mind. Now I am obsessed and almost finished the cross stitch part of another
pin cushion doll.

That is beautiful! Was that a kit?
Thank you. It wasn’t a kit. The pattern was in Sampler & Antique Needlework magazine Summer 2014 issue and I bought the head from brierrose.com.
Irony. Vera, I started this project earlier in January. I’ve finished the embroidery for the doll; today, started the companion trunk. Assembly of both to follow. When the designs came out in 2012, Needle in a Haystack in Alameda,CA, kitted up the two pieces. Love the colors.
Are you going to make the tray and pincushion that go in the trunk? Guilia made the instructions for making them free on her website puntiantichi.com. I haven’t decided whether to make the trunk and I don’t remember what fabric I used for her skirt so that I could make them the same.
That finishing is not an easy task. It looks beautiful – Congrats on the finish!
