Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I live in the pacific northwest of the US. Long time stitcher but this is my first Chatelaine. Jan convinced me to take the plunge with her Persian Iris Mandala postings over here.
I chose the Chinese Garden because I really couldn't see stitching everything four times as much as I like the look of the finished project. I figure this gives me some of the same feel of her true mandalas but there is some variation. I started on Friday and this what I was able to get done over the weekend. I did change the fabric to a slightly more creamy linen rather than the antique white which I thought was too stark.
