WIP Wednesday

Posted in cross stitch, Mirabilia, Nora Corbett by

I am very pleased to report that I finished the changes I wanted to make to Stargazer, and she & I will visit the framer this week. I went from this:

I think the gold “pops” so much better now, and her hands are much, much smoother.

  7. Hello Paula,

    I would like to start the Stargazer piece for my mother but I am having a hard time finding the fabric. I absolutely love the fabric you chose and would love to know where you purchased it.

    Thank you

    • Hi Susannah! That dyer is out of business but have you checked The Viewer? You can select Stargazer on the design list, then see her mocked up on fabrics – and you don’t have to know the fabric name as there are colour blocks. Just remember linen dyes darker than evenweave. My girl was on linen, which I normally avoid, but… the fabric.
      I did recommend Catherine at Countrystitch Fabrics. She’s here in NZ but ships international. On her site, she has the fabrics listed with the DMC equivalent, so any computer screen colour changes can be avoided. Also Lesley at Under the Sea has great customer service.
      Let me know how you get on! I’m in the FB Mira Mira on The Wall & Mirabilia Conversions group as well as Stitch MAYnia. All the best!
