Magic Castle

1975

In the late 70s I designed this Magic Castle.  At that time I stitched it on perforated paper in floss & metallic, all tent stitches.  I painted the paper first, and all of the yellow was the paper.

Now, I have stitched this piece again!  On 18-count vintage blue/blue with overdyed & plain floss, metallics, and wool, using a variety of stitches.  I plan to finish it as a door hanger, hopefully "framed" with pretty ribbons.  Finding the ribbons is the next part!
