The last bead was sewn on the evening of April 26th, just in time to reach my goal. I was determined to finish it before we went to Germany, and I was as determined not to take it with me. It is too delicate to put it in my suitcase, and I was afraid of damaging the stitching, or get stains on it.
Here is the result, and as a little extra I took pictures of several parts of the design, to show its beauty.

Congrats on your finish. It is just gorgeous.
Congrats on your beautiful finish! It looks amazing!! Wonderful job and I am looking forward to seeing pics of your trip!
It looks amazing! All of her work is stunning - I saw Evening In The Park & her latest design [forget the name] which you can only buy the pattern over the net completed recently & they are so totally incredible. The more I see her work finished, the more I want to start stitching one - but I am afraid I would never finish the piece & that would be a real shame.
Hip Hip Hoorah!!!
Gorgeous, Stunning, Fantastic
Your deserve your happy dance.

It is stunning! So very pretty. A lot of work went into this one.
I am waiting for my material from Silkweavers so I can start Holland Springtime. Getting all the supplies has proven to be quite a challenge.
Your other finishes are fun to look at too. Glad you had a nice vacation.
God Bless ~

Congratulations on this finish. What an achievement! And I know what I'm saying because I also started one of Chatelaine's mysteries and gave up on it after part 4. It's become my oldest UFO.
Hi Joke...I just stumbled across your log and saw that you stitched this Chatelaine design. It is absolutely gorgeous !!!!!! I am going to be starting White Nights in St Petersburg as soon as the remainder of my supplies get here.....You have some beautiful pictures on your blog.
