Beatrice Mirabilia RR

Here is Beatrice pretty Mirabilia RR all finished. Beatrice visited me here in Arizona and left her RR with me to stitch. I stitched Emerald Mermaid in the last square.



Please note - the white square at the bottom - was stitched by the famous Adriana (Beatrice Mom) at the age of 94. Please let me be like her!!!!!

  1. That is so beautiful!

    I would love to set one of these up for my roommate and I to do (sort of a joint project). Does anyone have any pointers on sizing and setting up the squares?

    The blocks average 50 stitches x 50. It is a manageable stitch in a 6 week time frame.
    You can do any combo of those
    10x90, 20x80, 30x70, 40x60 and 50x50.
    If you look at other posts on this blog you will see other layouts. I

  4. Wow! 94! Hope we'll all be going strong at that age. I love that you've all done different parts of the pictures, not just the faces.
