Here's my Isabella Fox by Gigi R Designs. I ordered this piece from The Attic using their silk conversion. I loved putting in each and every stitch. I wished I were a better photographer. The colors are delightful. It was stitched on vintage sand dune.
I ordered a sample of the Attic's 50 count fabric and Gloriana Tudor Silk thread to see if I could stitch on such a small count fabric. I COULD !! I ordered some additional threads and quickly stitched up Dutch Strawberry by The Goode Huswife. I was pleasantly surprised that the fabric was really easy to stitch on. I tried different using needles but found the tapestry beading needle to be the only needle that worked. The other ones were like using a crochet hook to stitch with !! The Tudor silks are amazing. Here is the result of my adventure.
Here are a few more finishes. Needleworker, May Basket, and Softly Walk.
Needleworker is stitched 1 over 1 on Glenshee linen. I love this piece.
May Basket was stitched using the Shepherd Bush girls color selection. This was stitched for my granddaughter Carly who celebrates a May birthday.
Softly Walk is by La-D-Da stitched with the called for threads on Vintage Pear from Lakeside Linen.
I have been knitting some...only because I love yarn and have the A/C turned down to 75 so I'll show you those pieces in my next post. I'm also going to The Attic in November for classes and have been doing some pre-stitching for a class. I'll save that story for next time. Thanks for stopping by and sharing my love of needlework.

Beautiful finishes Cari! They're even prettier in person! :)
So pretty, love everything, especially Isabella:-). I have some of the tudor silk and 50 count ordered to see if I can work on it too.
Oh Wow! You have some serious eye candy in this post! I love your finishes. The one on 50 count blows me away! It's so tiny!!! Good for you for trying it.
Everything is looking fabulous. I hope all is well. I've missed you!
Hugs to you!
Oh, I just love everything! Beautiful work!
I wish I could try 50 count but 40 count is already a stretch for me! I would like to try some of that tudor silk though!
Happy Stitching, Cari!
