A Cherub for Colleen
About half an hour ago I finished "Cherub with Tree" for my SIL Colleen's birthday. Her birthday isn't until June but since we will probably be traveling to see them earlier in the year I wanted to have it finished very early. Just after the holidays I will have it mounted and framed so that it is ready to travel when we are.
The pattern is a freebie from Mirabilia. The finished piece is 6 x 6 inches. It was a joy to stitch this sweet angel but a lot more work than the size would lead you to believe.

Truly a pretty piece. You can see, it isn't a simple pattern. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful! I'm sure that your SIL will love it!
Gorgeous finish! Congrats!!
Oh, it certainly looks like it was a lot of effort (is there a Mirabilia that isn't?) But it's just gorgeous and the beading is so sparkly and pretty. I'm sure your SIL will love it!
wauw, lovely indeed !
another one to put on my to-do-in-the-future-list.
I´ve put your blog on the blogroll of my blog, I hope you don´t mind ?
Lovely piece. Beautiful stitching :)
This is gorgeous. She looks so sweet. I'm sure your SIL will love this beautiful angel.
Such a nice piece. And it makes a wonderful gift.
Oh Mirabilia patterns are not for the faint hearted, but the hard work is rewarding: this is glorious! And what an heirloom to treasure from now...
Love and hugs.
She is beautiful and what a wonderful gift!
Margaret, she is divine! I've seen that chart but have never seen it completed. Anyone to go on my wish list! lol
