Description: Two elusive woodland creatures converse amidst the ferns, ladyslippers, violets and mushrooms! The faerie's dress is done in shades of yellow; her multicolored wings have a hint of shimmer. The faerie's skin including face is stitched over-one. The almost solid-stitched design is finished with an airy floral border.

Background Information: I live in the mountains of north-central Pennsylvania, so am surrounded by beautiful woodland. All of the flora in this design is found in my own "backyard" (literally!)...as is the mouse. And although I've not seen her in person, I'm sure the faerie is there as well!

Stitching Comments: This design is a challenge to stitch, mostly because it's large. There are also lots of blended threads, and the over-one adds an extra challenge. But, if you've had any experience at all with my larger designs, I would say you should have no trouble with this one. There are no specialty stitches, and the piece calls for only a bit of blending filament.

Specialty Stitches: none.
