Joan Elliott Faces SAL
Stitched on 28 count Snapdragon Jazlyn from Crafty Kitten
Started in 2014. Joan released a block each month featuring an adapted face from one of her existing designs.
I decided to stitch the skin on the first face over one and was really pleased with how she turned out.
The second block was charted as a rather chonky cat which I wasn't fan of so I left that block blank.
I did complete the centre with some lovely over one butterflies from another of Joan's fairies
I eventually stitched this lovely owl:
When the third block was released I just stalled on the skin as there was so much of it!
I finally completed her in 2020 and decided to focus on just one or two blocks per year and work through them all in time.
The owl and the dragon were completed in 2021
The unicorn and the beading on the centre block were 2022
This pair were completed in 2023
And the final two blocks in 2024, just in time for it's 10th Birthday!
I framed it in a raw wood box frame that I painted to co-ordinate with the fabric.
