I feel as if I have been missing in action but I have been busy stitching away on the model for Eleanor Parr. Eliz. Cox has been put to one side but will be picked straight back up when Eleanor is finished.
This is where I was when I started Eleanor.
Marsha is still charting Eleanor and is current working on the vines and leaves that connect the birds in the outer border.
I have so much respect for Marsha's charting skills and seeing the chart grow has been an amazing experience.
The top of the centre panel has been charted and stitched.
It really is so pretty.
Miss Scarlet and Miss Georgina have made an appearance and the four corner motifs have been stitched.
Here is the first of the 18 birds.
Thank you Marsha for allowing me to share these with you.
Eleanor is a big girl at 426 x 490 and is stitched over two with the exception of the verse which is over one and a small area under the girls feet which will be in stem stitch but can be crossed stitched if preferred.
She should be ready for shipping at the end of October or November so will be perfect for our Christmas list.
I hope to post another sneak peak soon.

Marsha is charting the sampler with the colours Eleanor used rather than the faded colours of time.
