A gift from my secret sister

Cerys, on Enchanted Fabrics Forum.  I received Nora Corbet Tigerlily as my final package from my secret sister along with the beads and kreink.  Well having no will power I immediately added her to my new rotation, and since I was ready to start my next item, just kinda slid her in there to stitch.  I had some gorgeous Polstitches Opalescent Belfast in Toffee Popsicle to stitch on, just begging for this design.  So here is my first rotation on her.  She stitches up sooo fast.

Happy Happy Happy Dance

Culmination of 5 to 6 months work.  Taa Daa Finished Passione Ricamo Morning Fae!!!!  Now on to working on my rotation.  I am sooo Happy with her.  She is my first finished Fantasy Lady and I know she wont be my last.  I adore all bling and detail.   I am hyped to stitch!

Happy Memorial Day Everyone

I hope everyone is having a great day.  It is sooo hot here in the midwest.

My take on Fantasy stitching.  My thinking that anything that could be fairy tale, fantasy, etc is included.  To me that includes:  Fairy tale characters, queens, kings, mermaids, dragon, pirate ladies, gods, goddesses, bizarre and strange creatures.  Most of Mirabilia and a lot of Passione Ricamo fall in these catagories, along with most Joan Elliotts and I am sure there are so many more.  Don't be afraid to post whatever you are doing on here.  We want to see your stitching.

I usually don't have

tons of trouble with frogs but man this weekend was the pits.  I tore out this dark blue section twice before finally getting it completed.  What a nightmare, and I thought I was being sooo careful too.  I am ready to be done with morning fae I think.  Getting there anyway.  Will start Iris Fairy on Wednesday for the SAL..

A Little About Terry

Okay, Since Jo started Guess I will be next. 

I started stitching about 34 years ago, ,yep I am noooo teenager. I grew up an Air Force Brat and we moved a lot.  When I was very young we had a set of fiction books that went with an encyclopedia books we had gotten.  One of the volumes was a book of myths, legends and fantasies and I was hooked.  I wanted my very own dragon. Since we seemed to move a lot books became my favorite hobby and fantasy my favorite genre.  While we were living in the UK for awhile I read and fell in love with the Fellowship of the Ring and was lost to the world of fantasy forever. 

My first attempt at small fantasy designs were usually fairy tales, there just weren't that many fantasy charts out there.  Then while looking through a cross stitch magazine, I found an add for the Wizard's Castle by Teresa Wentzler (later renamed to the Castle).  I had to have it, even though I was still a little green in stitching.  Four months later, it was finished and still has a place of honor on my walls (many, many years later).  

My favorite fantasy artists are Mira, PR, Joan Elliott, Teresa Wentzler, Dark Side of the Moon, Fire Wing, just to mention a few.  I have recently found and fallen in love with Polstitches fabric and after a kind of disconnect with stitching am back full force..

I started this blog, with the hope that I would find lots of fellow fantasy stitchers out there that want to share their triumphs and disasters and new and exciting charts!!

Welcome to everyone!
