Casket Lid Finish!


 
The top embroidered panel of the casket is now complete!!!!! 

 
I stitched the needlelace border to match the light blue color of the surrounding panels transitioning to the darkest blue to go with the night sky.
I am very happy with how the corners match and blend. 


 
It was fun to put the mock-up next to the casket.
Progress has been made.
Now to finish the back of the casket.

    Beyond words to describe my thoughts about your beautiful creation. I'm thrilled to see your amazing work of art. It's absolutely beautiful in every way from your choice of colors to the stitchery that I can only dream of executing - you don't dream it - you do it!!!!!!!!!!! God bless you Janet!

    This is so far beyond brilliant, I'm amazed that anything as wonderful as this can be made with needle and thread (and infinite patience!)

    It is just wonderful I would love to do one too. Did you have a box to cover or just made the shape yourself?
    Such an heirloom. Best wishes from NZ.
