Eliza's Pets Tiny Sampler

This has been a UFO for quite awhile. It is no longer a UFO because I finished it over the weekend. It is so beautiful. I stitched it in leftover silks (mostly Glorianna) and 40 count linen. The deer, lion and my initials and date are stitched over one. I was having trouble stitching over one, but on this thicker linen it was a snap and so pretty. I really like the effect. I would eventually like to have this tiny one framed.

This is beautiful. I was looking at it and didn't realise how small it actually was until I saw the bobbin on the side. You must have a lot of patience to do such a small piece of work.

How gorgeous! I love 40 count and some times tackle 40ct over one (hard on the eyes).
