Spring Tulips!

I spent the first week+ of April working on my Holland Landscapes by Chatelaine, and finished the tulips over the right side window scene, bringing me to the half-way point on this large piece!

Here is a pic of the whole thing so far....

The next pic is a close-up of the center, where I changed out the large crystal cube for a Mill Hill tulip Treasure which I think matches the small flowers around the center box very well!

Over the weekend I worked on a couple of small pieces, as I am waiting for fabric to start the Papillon Castles in the Air. More later....

  3. PS - I thought of you tonight at stitching. You have probably already seen it, but Blackbird has a new Peacock Pinkeep and Needlebook, which Sarah has. Very nice, too!
    Here's a picture:
