Gold Medal Winner

Lori's version of Quaker Floral Puzzle is pure gold.  Well, technically it's pure Whiskey, by Weeks Dye Works. She stitched this as a monochrome on 25 ct black lugana, 1 over 1.  I think I'd need to be drinking whiskey to undertake over 1 on 25 count black, but Lori appears to have a natural knack with such things. Wow - that is elegant.
I've had so many stitchers tell me that they love to see the creative versions that everyone comes up with.  In some ways it makes the decisions harder when it comes time to stitch your own, but I'm sure you can handle it.

  2. This is beautiful!! I swore off black fabric 20 years ago but this is wonderful. With whiskey, readers, and a light box on my lap, who knows what I could do:)

  11. I just love this! I bought this intending to do it as it was pictured but now I think I will do it as a monochrome also. Good job, Lori! Lynn in Carrollton (Texas)
