October 24, 2008

Here is Baby Kasey with all the cross stitching completed. The picture was taken at about 3:30 this afternoon. I often have non-stitchers ask me why we do all the outlining and detail stitching. You'll be able to see the difference it makes...
Here she is, completed! I put the last backstitch in at 11:45 pm. I opted not to do the very pale yellow french knots in her eyes. She seems to be looking right at you as it is. Those detail stitches really make her look life-like, don't you think? I've had several people comment that it's like they can reach out and touch her nose, she's so realistic. And cute! You can't forget the cuteness factor here! I can't tell you how happy I am that she's finally done! She is among my favorites that I've stitched. BK is my 42nd stitching finish of the year, and when added to my eight sewing finishes I'm up to 50 total finishes!
