Sew Red in Japan

I posted Sew Red on my blog and within a few minutes I received an email from Chizue in Japan asking for the chart. Today I received another email from her - not only has she stitched Sew Red but she has finished it into the most beautiful box! It is stitched on an unknown 32ct fabric with Glorianna's Dried Pink Roses. Isn't this just stunning?

There will another chart available shortly.

My Quaker Friendship RR has made it's way home after many months of travelling and I was so happy to see it. I would like to thank Edgar, Wendy, Rowyn, Donna and Valerie for stitching so beautifully on this. Now I need to find a suitable frame!

The weather, after two beautifully warm, sunny days has reverted to dull and gloomy. I am so glad that I ignored the chores and spent the time in the garden.

This morning - the chores :-(

This afternoon - I shall stitch :-)

Thanks for visiting

Take care

An inspiring design turned into a pretty box. A truly international project, started in Great Britain and finished in Japan.

Wow Carol, Chizue's version of your design is stunning. She has finished it in a really lovely way. Imagine having a pretty box like on your shelf :>) It's such a gorgeous design I'm not surprised you've had so many requests for it and that it inspires such pretty finishes.
Your Quaker RR is beautiful, really elegant. So glad it's finally home.
Warm wishes Angela

The Quaker RR piece is lovely.

Chizue's stitching and creation of the little box - so beautiful! Very talented person I can tell.

You seem to be on a roll with the design muse! I look forward to your new release!

Are you kidding!? How on earth did she stitch and make a beautiful box like that in so few days??? I hope she'll share how she made the box... Unbelievable!
I suppose I need to hold my blue off, Carol, until Sew Blue comes out...so I'm stitching Sew Red in a reddish color until then. I'm so happy you have had this great response! Your Quaker RR came back beautifully.
Hugs,
Deb
