Powder Box Doily.

Loved this powder box that is so elegantly ornate and wanted to create something with it. When I placed it upside down, it looked like a crown, so I duplicated it until I got this doily. For the first time, I have used my software's Mask tool to reduce the number of stitches and it has deleted over 10000 stitches. I'm happy about that. The Power Box design is from the Endearing Embroidery Design Collection by Sue Box.
Hugs, Lidia

Hi Lydia,
You are so talented with Sue's designs. We have moved and since then I just can't motivate myself to get started with my embroidery again. But every time I see your work I find myself very motivated to start again. Good job! I'll get there soon. warmest regards,
Mona

Hello Lidia, this doily is really eye-catching and perfectly executed as all your embroidery is! Who would have thought: a powder box?!!
Kind regards, Bev
