To here - gorgeous, no longer be-headed, with flowers and hair and blindfold. There will be a lot of beads added to her head, but I think it already looks amazing. There were probably more colours in here than in all the remainder of the design!
So now there's just that pesky right arm (and corresponding shawl thing) left to stitch, but I think Im up to it now. I have to admit that I am getting into a bit of a 'I just want this finished' stage now, but that's okay, I think my next rotation will probably the last ten hours of full cross stitch. Maybe a little more than ten hours, but not a lot! After that, there's a minimal amount of backstitching, and a moderate amount of beading (at least for a Mirabilia I guess it's moderate) and I am VERY much looking forward to that. The finish is getting so close now! I ordered a frame and mounting board, and I really hope it will arrive with the current situation. But then I'm not even sure I'll see my mum for her birthday, so I might not be in that much of a hurry after all!

She is looking amazing, Leonore. I don't know how those of you who do rotation stitching manage to stop and then return to it. I have to plow through to a finish or I'll rarely return :)
Not sure if I'll see my mom on her birthday either--it is in just six weeks so I doubt it. Take good care now!
It's nice to see her head, I wouldn't say you cheated. I was a bit 'glad when it's done' when I stitched the Quiltmaker.
I agree, this is amazing!
This is looking fantastic now, and I certainly don't blame you for carrying on past the end of the rotation. It looks like she may well be finished in time for your mum's birthday, and even if you can't give it to her in person you will at least be able send her a photo or video. :)
She does look amazing! I can see why you wanted to carry on with her.
Great progress on Lady Justice. I think the extra time was well worth the "cheat". :-)
I don't blame you for going past the 10 hours - I'd see it more as guidelines than a rule anyway, especially when you are so close to a finish! She is looking great x
