This is beautiful!! A couple from-the-heart comments: I *LOVE* anything Camelot, Sir Lancelot, King Arthur, 1600s, royalty (Tudor) type of things, too! I can see why you were drawn to this. I am, too --- do you remember the name of it, that I could search for this here?
Also, I was like that, too, when I started. I caught on immediately and wanted to stitch something huge, and the lady who taught me was like, "No, you cant. Start with this little bear." It bored me to death. I was a young teen at the time, so I did as I was told, under the impression there was some "rule" that I had to have some waiting period before I could do something larger... well, I do larger now, and I love them!! I think its wonderful you tackled this right off the bat and you did a fantastic job!!:D
