19. Joan Elliott Faces SAL


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.
