I've finished!!!

I finished her up this afternoon & I'm very happy with how she turned out. In case anyone is interested in the colors, this is what I used: GAST Cinnamon, Dungarees, Grape Leaf, Crabapple (Limited Edition color), WDW Red Pear & WDW Peach Fuzz (for her arms, face & legs). It's stitched on 32 ct. Antique Ivory Belfast. As you can see, I changed the ABC to my initials & left off the alphabet. I can't wait to get a frame and get her on the wall! It was a fun & fairly quick stitch!!

I started MLQ last night....

I stitched some of the green in her skirt & then went to add the lighter shade of "peach" & it didn't show up on my fabric (32 ct Antique Ivory) AT ALL. I then spent the next hour trying several different shades of threads & didn't like most of them. :-( I ended up using WDW Red Pear for the lighter shade & GAST Baked Apple for the darker. I haven't done any of the blue or brown, but I think it will be fine now. I am also going to use a "peach tone" for her skin, possibly CC Rosy Glow, we'll see. Here is a pic of my big start....

Hopefully it will be okay with the other colors... we'll see tonight!

So, did you start stitching & how much did you get done? :-)

I think I have my fabric/threads chosen!

The fabric is 32 ct Antique Ivory Belfast & the threads are:
WDW Peach Fuzz (lightest peach for her face, arms, the light color in the "flowers", etc)
GAST Copper (darker flower/letter color)
GAST Grape Leaf (all the green)
GAST Dungarees (all the blue)
GAST Cinnamon (all the brown)

As you can see, I tired to match what Monique done somewhat as I really love this one. We'll see how my choices go. Someone said they wanted to do the same, and if anyone wants to use my color choices, feel free, I don't mind at all! :-)

Now to finish some other things before I start it... ;-)
Happy stitching!
