Here is a picture of The Black Dahlia. This design is by Vilma Becklin of Examplar Dames and will be available as a limited edition. It is stitched in Vikki Clayton silks, premium and regular.
On Thursday night I put the last stitches in the model stitching project I did for Examplar Dames. This took me 6 weeks from start to finish and it amazed me how quickly it stitched up. I'll post a picture when I get permission to do so. The name is The Black Dahlia and it's stitched in black and red Vikki Clayton silks.
I'm originally from England and my husband and I now live in Arkansas, we've been here in the USA since 1975, and in Arkansas since December 2000. I became an American citizen on June 9, 2008. I learned to do needlework as a young girl and have never lost interest. I always have something on the go; cross stitch, Hardanger, knitting, crochet, something to do with a needle!
I'm a mother to two grown sons, one living in the USA and the other in London, England. I'm also Nana to two girls. I retired on December 31, 2016, and so I now have more time to donate towards my needlework pursuits.
