my oldest friend in the world had a heart attack a few months ago, and I wanted to make something special for him to show him how glad I am that he is still in my life. I finished this on Monday and was able to give it to him last night. He adores it

Absolutely beautiful, nothing like a handmade piece of intricate Art. That Lady M should be hung on a wall. My Mom Rest her soul made me a few knitted and crochet blankets and fancy doilies . All of which I still have and cherish. Takes a lot of patience, you can’t lose count, that’s the only time I ever heard my Mom say....” oh $hit “... lol.

I can identify with your Mom's sentiment about the counting. When you have to double check your stitch count and have 93 stitches, that is when someone wants to ask you something! lol

Thinking back it was quite funny😂😂😂

I used to not care for such things. But when a friend did something like that in different colors, all of a sudden I was stunned. She did a project for me in teal and black, and another one in black red and gold.
The point being, not being artistic myself, I hadn't realized how powerful a particular choice of colors can be in the over all impact a project like that can have.

I didn't know how this would turn out when I asked him what his favorite colors were and he said, azure, coral and turquoise. But amazingly, they worked together beautifully. Everyone who saw me working on it went gaga over the colors. I can't take credit for that, but shows what a great team we are

Beautiful work, Lady Margaret. My wife does cross stitch and makes hand crafted covers for bibles. I have two and have watched her work (in awe). She also does beautiful work, like yours.
