It feels like a blustery fall day today, so I thought I would share my Autumn Queen with you.
She is a Mirabilia pattern and she is quite regal. I love the blues and the purples and the beading is in the perfect places. I love the snood her hair is in. I stitched her up in 2000 on 16 count White Aida. I am not a big fan of matts, but the Queens seem to need it as their dresses are cut across the bottom into a straight edge.
You can see all of Nora Corbett’s Mirabilia designs here. I see that yesterday, April 15, 2012, Wichelt released a new Mirabilia entitled “Santa”. I have never stitched a Santa. I think this one has just been added to my list of “have to stitch”. He is a jolly Santa. Go check it out by clicking on the Mirabilia link above. Let me know what you think about him.
My Time Stitching 
Ginny, we are more alike than you know. I just finished my Autumn Queen this year (although it was a WIP for more years than I care to admit). Am thinking about having Jill Rensel frame her. And the new Santa is amazing. Might have to be added to my list too!

Hi! I am currently restarting my Autumn Queen after many years of carpel tunnel. The pattern was folded and refolded so many times that it fell apart. I have lost the top right corner of her head. I cannot find a replacement. If I could just get a picture of the top right corner that would help. Such a shame to not be able to finish it. Any suggestions? Help!
