Elizabeth face

I am doing A Portrait of Elizabeth through the Shining Needle Society.  The Shining Needle Society is a Yahoo group that administrates online classes by well known teachers.  The teacher, Gay Ann Rogers, posts lessons on her website and we communicate through a Yahoo group.  You can see the finished piece and other people's work here.

  1. Way to go, Mary Ruth! Your Elizabeth has a serious but calm face, and the ruff is beautiful.

    1. The face is all Gay Ann's charting. She does such a wonderful job of overlaying stitches to give the effect she wants, especially on the eyes.
