Mirabilia Winter Queen Completed !!

Started this October 2018, she is one that I always wanted to do as my favourite colours are blue and white.  It took awhile as I stitched her on White 32 count linen.  I began to hate it as stitching white on white was hard especially on the finer count, but I continued on and now absolutely love her.  I switched the wisper thread which I felt was more yellow and was also scared from other comments from stitches that it goes yellower over time, and did not like stitching it, so unpicked and stitched the fur trim with Rainbow Gallery fuzzy stuff, F226 antique white for a softer look.  Not sure what next as I have all four queens in my possession and various other mirabilia's are calling out as well as other designers.  I always want to stitch small ones but then end up choosing big ones that take more time, and I try not to have two on the go as I end up with WIPS and no finishes.
